    For me pregnancy was kind of a non-issue.....had 2 days of morning sickness and heartburn didn't kick in until I was 9 months.....then I was like "WTH is happening to me?!?! Am I dying????"

    Liked about pregnancy:
    1) Beautiful hair and nails
    2) Sex drive that was non stop

    Did not like about post-pregnancy:
    1) Formerly nice hair falling out in clumps 6 weeks to the day M was born
    2) Acne as my hormones were all over the place
    3) Starting a diet plan and getting a personal trainer and 3 months no weight loss, started BC pills a year later and dropped 15 pounds in a month....only for it all to come back on once my body got used to the hormones again.
    4) I now like blue cheese

    only thing I can honestly say I missed was feeling the baby kick, but that was just the begining. Once the baby is big enough and is squishing the hell out of your insides its just not that cute anymore, so yeah I dont miss that or the constant bathroom visits.

    what i miss:
    the looking forward to the excitment of watching my child being born.
    it was like christmas, better even
    then holding them in my arms for the first time. non stop smiling.

    what i dont miss:
    hearing "dont look at me", "don't touch me", and "get that thing away from me"

    I loved being pregnant. Never got sick and both were healthy babies. I don't miss labor. Ouch!

    I honestly can't think of anything I miss. I was so ill and in so much pain 24/7 for 9 months, and 2 years later still have lots of health problems as a direct result.
    Yeah, not jumping at the chance to do that again. :ohwell:

    Feeling them move. That is it.
    I don't get "pregnancy is fantastic" people, but I'm glad somebody enjoys it!

    I will never miss morning, afternoon, evening, nighttime sickness.
    I will never miss the swelling.
    (You haven't had the baby yet, but I'm sure you won't miss leaky boobs. Soooooo sexy)

    I will/have missed playing with the baby watching him kick where I touch, the free gifts, the ability to get out of meetings at work when my belly becomes possessed.

    I had a wonderful pregnancy and would have done it again the day after giving birth IF I could have had the same experience.

    I miss feeling kicks the most.

    I think God was preparing me and my husband for the aftermath of medical stuff we had to deal with since we ended up NOT having a healthy child.
