Okay so I just have to get this out. I will be 24 in a few weeks, my husband and I have been together for almost 9 years, married for almost six years, and we have 4 beautiful babies together (ages 4, 3, 2, and 3 weeks) Every time I see a pregnant woman I get so jealous! Not as much baby fever as it is like pregnancy envy? Idk. My husband thinks I'm crazy and gets so stressed when I tell him about it. I'd like to say it is a phase, but I've had this feeling since we got married, and it only goes away when I'm pregnant! Am I alone in feeling this way? I'm like addicted to having babies lol 😩 it's funny too because I have high risk, miserable pregnancies resulting in preterm births (33-36 weeks). I'm obsessed with being pregnant, and babies.
Maybe it's the preterm thing, because I feel like I missed out on a lot of the last bit of my pregnancy (delivered at 29 weeks) and so I missed out on all the big kicks. My itty bitty is still a baby but I already wish I could have another!! I miss being pregnant! (Minus the health complications I had with my second).
I feel that same way! Like I missed out on a lot. My preemies were not as early as yours I always made it at least 33 weeks, but that's a whole 7 or so weeks still I missed out on each pregnancy :/ and the first days to weeks (longest NICU stay was just a little over a month) of their lives were spent in the hospital. I wonder if feeling "cheated" might have something to do with my envy of pregnant women? I literally will delete or unfollow people on social media if they post about their pregnancy so I don't have to see it and like obsess over it. Ugh 😞
