I could be pregnant again and again

I could be pregnant over and over. I really could. But I’m not – please don’t get excited! This is just a post about loving the time when I was pregnant 🙂

I truly loved it.

As my babies grow up, I like to look back on the early days when I was pregnant. I was healthier than ever (crohns disease was banished) and the excitement of a baby was the best time of my life. I wasn’t sick at all. Although, I did put on 28kg with my first due to some lovely fluid!

♥ I loved finding out I was pregnant.

♥ I loved the doctors appointments.

♥ I loved the attention.

♥ I loved picking names.

♥ I loved wondering if today will be the day?

♥ I loved being in hospital. I was proud and so happy.

♥ I love how an entire family comes together when there is a new born baby.

♥ I love seeing pregnant people.

♥ I love being around pregnant people.

BUT, I’m over babies! Ha! There are too many things that I DON’T miss 😉

Is that weird?

    Oh goodness, I just saw ‘I could be pregnant’.. and read no further… before heading straight on over! Ha! It was a special time wasn’t it. Seems like forever ago for me. I was just saying the other day to my SIL who has a new baby, as the years pass, you forget the little details. I have forgotten what it was like to change one nappy.. and I changed approx 6000 of them, I worked out (you would have changed 9000). The little details of every moment, you share with your babies, fade as they become robust young men. I remember dying to know what my first born’s little voice would sound like… now I can’t remember his first voice…. especially now that it is getting deeper and deeper! Holding onto every moment now. Stop growing up boys! A-M xx

    Yes I feel the same …
    I loved being pregnant.
    Loved welcoming these new little people in our family.
    But decided to stop at number 7 – which I do regret.
    I too am over babies these days…
    Love spending time with my nieces but glad to had them back when they are screaming for a feed etc…

    Our kids grow way too fast these days….
    Can we make them slow down – if just for a little while?

      I want them to slow down too. Well done on 7 kiddies!! x

    I loved this blog, I think the way lots of mums feel, I loved it (pregnacy) also but am so not going there again. I remember the feeling I had when I gave birth to my gorgeous boy and how proud, now he is nearly 15 and a big stapping lad, still proud. Then came our daughter, didn’t I think I was smart then, one of each, but above all, they were perfect, so precious and beautiful, they still are just in larger version.

    Oh my goodness, I can’t even fathom feeling like that! I’m 10 weeks with my 4th in (4 1/2 years) feel so sick I could die. I get hyperesmesis when I’m pregnant (severe morning sickness) & I’m so weak I haven’t been out of bed in 4 weeks (except to use the bathroom). This is our last baby & the next 6 months will br torture. If only surrogacy was legal, you could have carried it for me! 🙂

    • Katrina (author)

      Oh no, that’s awful! I hope it passes soon. I laughed at the surrogacy!

  • Ange

    It’s lovely that you have so many fond memories of being pregnant. Are you sure you may not venture there again?!?! Ange

    • Katrina (author)

      Hahaha, no we’ve officially taken care of that 🙂

  • anna White

    Oh Love…thats great that you have those memories..and I think it was good that you popped them out when you were still a spring chicken…but as you get older…being pregnant aint as much fun….this pregnancy I have noticed is very different from the one I had with Jacq 3 years ago..being closer to 40 the old bones and hormones cant take it as well as they did when I was preggas with Jacq…when I was pregnant with my first…I was ontop of the world..had a huge amount of energy and even now I always tell people that the healthiest I ever looked and felt was when I was pregnant with Jacq. But No 2 is different..surprisingly…health wise things are great…but had a few scares in the beginning..and I am struggling more with carrying bubs…the back aches and pains are unbearable at times…other than that I could have asked for a better pregnancy…but am more than ready to meet this little guy.

    You had me going too with the heading for this post….!!!!
    I can totally relate…loved it all until 27weeks and then it all went to hell in a handbasket (physically)…but I totally get your sentiments as I’m sooooo not going there again either 🙂
    Thanks again for spinning your magic on my blog header…you’re awesome!!!

    • Katrina (author)

      Hahaha tricked ya!

  • Caroline godde

    I’m glad you loved being pregnant but I found it to be the hardest 9 months of my life. Just so hot and I put on so much weight that I just hated myself. One good thing was I ended up with a beautiful, caring daughter.

  • Lindy

    Me too!!! I was very lucky to have two fabulous pregnancies and I felt healthy and wonderful for both. A few aches and pains second time around, but just loved being pregnant, and the appointments and all those things. I even liked the stuff you had to drink for the glucose test – apparently I am very weird! Thanks for sharing 🙂

    • Katrina (author)

      Oh that’s funny – you liked the glucose stuff?? LOL!

  • Heather

    If I could have a football team (i.e. if my husband let me) I would definitely do it. Could add another 15 things to your list Treens. Its such a shame that its something that we don’t get to do very often in life.

  • Pennyb

    SPOT ON!
    i loved every minute of all three too! but when you walk in that hospital door and that thought goes through your mind of “what was i thinking”
    all worth it though in those first moments of life when you hold them for the first time.
    Pen 🙂

    Did you get pregnant when you were in remission Katrina? I have crohns and its always playing up and im wondering whether i should take the chance and try when i get better cause who knows when i will be like that again but the other part of me is like when will i ever get better again!? Ugh so frustrating! Haha

    • Katrina (author)

      Hi Holly, I got pregnant with both 1 and 2 when sick. Best thing I ever did in hindsight. The pregnancy made me well all of a sudden. As long as you’re on ok medication and Doctor thinks it’s ok, then go for it. But I guess every case is different. I was very lucky. Hope you are ok though?

      • Holly

        Thanks Katrina, thats good to know! Yeah i’ll be alright:) hope your doing ok to! I have been thinking about it alot lately and I think that I have been so sick that when im a bit better and go for it,it probably will be nothing in comparison! Will keep you posted 🙂

  • Julie-Ann

    See your doctor and I agree lol. If you are a surrogate you could have all the benefits of being pregnant without having to do the child raising part that you are over. The perfect solution really – rofl:)
    Hope the Crohns gets better this year lovely <3
