Pregnancy-Free Babies

I really really miss being pregnant. Dont get me wrong, I could do with out the hearburn, the pains in my tail bone and hip joints and the extra body hair. But, the feeling of having life inside of you is something that was just so amazing. The instant she was born a part of me got sad. I had her all to myself. She was safe, warm and well fed.

AMEN to that. I was the most miserable pregnant woman on the face of the earth. My monther couldn't WAIT for me to give birth so I would stop whinning then complaining about EVERYTHING.

I feel the same way. If it was just a bit easier to be pregnant and have a baby, I would want to, but it's just so hard.

Oh, you are preaching to the choir on this one! My third pregnancy was so wretched that the mere thought of having to go through it again gives me the willies.

I always thought the solution was adoption....of another dog =). Or just adopting a human would work.

Having not been pregnant nor seeing what either of my grandmothers looked like pregnant the following may happen:

I could get lucky and be like my mom and not pop till the last 2 months
I could explode into a good year blimp(paternal grandmother)
I could have morning sickness the entire pregnancy and lose weight .(maternal grandmother)

I'm hoping for option 1, but I think it will be more like option 2.

I loved being pregnant and giving birth. My daughter-in-law says that it is just so long ago that I've forgotten how horrible it all is.

Pregnancy-free babies.......hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

NOPE, still don't want one!! LOL I bet that WOULD make having babies a bunch easier!!!

My sister is one of those that is good at being pregnant. I told her she needs to give her uterus a rest, though!! hahahahahah

The only part about pregnancy I dislike the most is the discomfort you have while trying to sleep. I can never and could never get comfortable. It always feels like a big fat man is sitting on my chest. I've bought boppies, body pillows, and try sleeping propped up nothing helps me. I toss and turn all night long. I've had to stop being lazy and put my son in his crib or he doesn't get a good nights rest. I've even taken to kicking the husband out of the bed or I go sleep in the family room. It's horrible.

I didn't do well with my pregnancy with Sol. THere were no major issues other than my face swelling up so that I didn't recognize myself and the fact that I was so shocked by the changes in my body I ended up walking around in ghastly maternity clothes for the last half of the pregnancy, but I didn't do well in terms of enjoying it because I felt so awkward and anxious about the changes to come (first child and all...). With Zaviera I had been through it once, survived, and was looking forward to a second round...having said that, I don't do this first trimester well at. all. But with Zaviera, after I hit that 12 week mark, I was cruising. I had no swelling and generally enjoyed the process - it was much easier the second time, especially because Dan had made it clear that he loves my body pregnant and wanted me to strut those curves and belly. Didn't mean I didn't have my moments of feeling done with the whole thing, I had some serious aches and pains.

I have a really high pain threshold and labor still hurts like hell for me. As it is, I ended up with c-sections with both Sol and Z. So this third will be the zip method as well but I didn't find the surgery very traumatic, I was recovered in like about a week.

This is my roundabout pregnant brained way of saying "go for it"
Yeah, I know, it made no sense. I make no sense right now. I tried to make coffee this morning by filtering the grounds through a paper towel because my presspot is broken. I am a walking disaster.

I'm also saying the same thing as Julia. I am so curious as to how it feels to be pregnant, but I dont want all the back pain swollen everything and hormone changes. Can we just skip to the day after?

Let me know if you come up with a solution!

Epidural and tequila chaser? That sounds liker a bad night at as bar where you end up in the bathtub, the next day, with a kidney missing

I believe surrogacy is legal in Ohio...

They have that womb rental service in India now.
