What an idiot I am

[Tiff]

I disliked being pregnant.

However, I was packing up alot of Claire's newborn sleepers that she's outgrown, and I got a bit misty-eyed and nostalgic looking at the incredibly small sleepers, and knowing how HUGE they were on her.

Doesn't make me want to do it again though. I'm with the sentiment that if my OH could get pregnant, I'd totally be in!

Maybe thats why I hated it. When people talk about pregnancy these days I only relate it to the last few weeks. Coming up to my due date, 5 failed inductions. Full term +15 and an emergency c section forced upon me. I was so fed up, although I love my little girl like mad, the c-section has always given me a sense of failure as a mother, I think if id have managed to even go into labour and then they had said I had to have a section i think i'd have a different view, Probs sounds silly to people really the way I feel but my body just had no signs of labour either. No braxtons hicks, not even one contraction. Nothing.

Although we bonded and everything, it was just like some one had handed me a baby

I think that would have happened to me if I had accepted the induction they wanted me to have . I chose monitoring instead, still ended up with a c-section, but I had a lovely labour at home.

I'm doing it all again lol. Am hoping for my homebirth this time.

I felt like this too when i saw the Oct due dates thread in first tri ! I loved my pregnancy so much and because of how the end turned out with the emergency csection i wish so so much i could go back to being pregnant again and do it all over only this time with a nice ending!

Yeah, I can't believe another 'generation' has come, if you know what I mean?

I miss being pregnant, and my bump. And the whole excitement of being in those last few weeks, I almost feel like it happened too soon now.

It shocks me how many people miss being pregnant. I hated it. Infact, its one of the factors that puts me off having another. If Chris could get prgnant, no problem

But I too was a December mummy... But 2007 though. My little baby has grown into a stroppy mare & ive no idea where the time went seems like only yesterday.

Pregnancy was not my thing either. But what I do miss thoroughly is the first day of seeing my newborn and the weeks thereafter. They go by too fast.

I miss being pregnant but I never want to feel another contraction ever again for as long as I live! I still get upset about my c section. I feel cheated. I feel like Ive missed out on giving birth. I didnt feel like I gave birth to her.

Doesn't sound silly to me! I didn't get any BH, no dilation, no softening, no thinning, no nothing. He didn't even move down because he was so big. Although I was induced and dilated he couldn't even fit into my birth canal, so I had a c-section.. didn't see him afterwards either because I blacked out and didnt wake up for hours.. so it was like someone was just handing me a baby too!
Although his birth really REALLY upsets me and makes me cry even to this day, I cannot wait to have another! I want to try for a VBAC though!

And about the thread.. I feel the same! Look at all the March babies that are coming into the baby and toddler section now! I feel so happy for them but it makes me sad because I miss being in their shoes! I (secretly) went and read some of the March Mummies thread!
