What will you miss about being pregnant?
I’m 39 weeks today and feeling a little consumed by the discomfort of late pregnancy. So instead of wallowing and talking about all of the things that suck about being pregnant, I’d love to hear some of the things that you will miss about this experience so I can try to soak in my final days!
Here are a few of mine:
-Random strangers picking things up for me. It makes me a little emotional every time even though it’s such a small gesture
-Feeling my baby move and kick! This one causes me a lot of anxiety most of the time but I’m really trying to appreciate just how cool it is to feel her in me.
-No migraines during pregnancy! I’ve had chronic migraines since I was a literal toddler and they have completely gone away for my entire pregnancy. It’s been genuinely life-altering
-Feeling neutral about my body. Body image is so weird and I’ve always been a bit bigger. I’ve definitely had some moments of discomfort with the way my body looks during pregnancy but the vast majority of the time I’m just so grateful to my body for growing her.
I’m excited to see what I start missing once I do actually give birth!
