    Unhappy I miss my belly...

    For ages everyone has been asking me whether I miss my belly to which I have responded no! I loved being pregnant but I've been too busy enjoying my little man to miss being my pregnant belly.

    So anyway I have been sorting through all of my maternity stuff this afternoon so I can lend it to a friend. And OMG I miss my belly.... I miss feeling him move inside me and rubbing my belly all the time and I miss having the best fashion accessory around LOL. I can't believe how hard it hit me - I almost cried lol. I absolutely adore my son don't get me wrong but I have the strongest urge to have that belly back as well!!!

    Didn't know whether to post this in Boo Hoo, General PG or here... But I rushed down from the lounge room to let you know LMAO....

    I felt like this after i had Lily. The thing i missed most was feeling her move around inside. I'm loveling it now and am dreading when it'll be over. Even though i'll be so over it all(which i'm starting to now) I'm still going to miss my belly!

    I understand your feeling completely - hate the uncomfortableness of the belly when I'm pregnant, but when I'm not I miss that little baby being inside me and being all mine, if that makes sense. When they're in your belly its like you share a secret with them, and you dont have to share them with anyone.

    I also know how you feel Lea, I loved feeling Matthew inside... I think it is because you are so close to them, it is truly a special time

    As soon as I had Amy I wanted to be pg again...that day! That lasted for a while then I wanted my pre pg figure back (minus some kgs). We are TTC again and I am so looking forward to being pg again.

    I loved being PG too & still miss having a PG belly (desperately trying to get one again LOL!). Carrying Kynan around a lot in the hug a bub has proven to be quite a nice substitute though LOL. If I'm out and don't have him in the HAB I feel quite lost without my 'bump' LOL!

    I miss that feeling of being pregnant. I'll never have that again and I have to admit, it is something that I struggle with every day.

    I miss being pregnant - I missed it while I was still in hospital! I saw a couple of girls come in to visit other people and thought "I wish I had my prgnant belly!' how crazy was that...

    OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I love Charlie and am so happy he's here and safe and able to interact with the world, but I do so miss my beautiful rounded belly, looking just fab in everything I wore, and having my little'un all to myself.

    I can't even bring myself to throw my maternity clothes out. I'm still holding out hope, however slim, of another pg for me.

    I'm the odd one out! I don't miss being pg (and actually I am pg again). I liked being kicked, I didn't like my expanding girth or big (.)(.)

    I thought i was mad for missing my belly. It was the only time id felt so proud of my body and i loved showing off my huge tight belly with tight tops.... And i miss having bubby all to myslef and also the movements like a few of your ladies have already said... My sister is pregnant and im so green!! hahaha

    Im already looking ahead to the next 'belly', loving all the stretchy dresses that are in at the moment, cant help from buying them as they look great now but i know they are going to look super fantastic stretched across a big hard wriggly tummy..... im sooo clucky!!
