As my toddler grows I find myself missing pregnancy. Which is odd to me because I actively remember being miserable for most of the 38 weeks leading up to childbirth. Perhaps it’s nature’s way of persuading me to continue to procreate, despite my better judgment. Either way, the pregnancy nostalgia is real with me right now and apparently, I’m not alone. Swollen ankles, back pain and morning sickness aside, there are reasons to miss being pregnant. Number 5 & 11 hit me on a spiritual level! lol
Check on Fit Pregnancy‘s list of 20 things you’ll miss about being pregnant:
1) Having a secret
Before anything shows on the outside, you know something’s happening on the inside. For the first few months, you might look like your same old self, but you know something that no one else does. (Unless you choose to tell them, of course!)
2) Smiles from total strangers
Once you start showing, you might be surprised at what a friendly place the world has become. You’ve joined the sorority, sister, and your stunning silhouette brings smiles, questions, and congratulations.
3) Naps
In our go-go-go world, there may not be another time in your life when you don’t have to feel guilty about sneaking in a 30-minute snooze after lunch. In fact, when you’re pregnant, naps are practically prescribed. So slumber away blissfully: Soon enough you’ll be sleeping on your baby’s schedule — in other words, naps may be the only sleep you’ll get.
