Oh Cris.....
No you are not alone!! I soooo very much want to find out what
the 7, 8, or 9 month feels like!!!
I take my twins rollerskating every wednesday and there are quite
a few pregnant women there that look wonderful!!!
Even though I am a larger woman, you could tell by the 9th week that
I was pregnant. I wanted so much to have a normal pregnancy...but
then I thought....whats normal??? Everyone is different, and I guess
delivering early is "normal" for me, and I have to accept that.
I did tell my husband that my new goal was to have a full term baby.
He told me to pick another goal....
Sincerely,
yvonne

Hi, everyone! I sent out one message on this topic but I don't think
it went through.
I was just wondering if anyone else has a small problem with
pregnancy envy, or if I'm just the odd one in the bunch. I find
myself terribly jealous when I see pregnant women out roaming the
shopping malls and grocery stores, etc. Don't get me wrong--I'm very
happy for them and it's such a joyous event. I just missed out on
the whole experience by being on bedrest. I often wonder what it
would feel like (wonderful, obviously) to be 7 or 8 months pregnant
and up walking around, shopping at the mall, running my own errands,
and just enjoying the experience. I missed out the first time, and
it's possible I'll never know what it's truly like to be a normal
pregnant woman.
Do any of you occasionally feel jealous when you spot a radiantly
glowing expectant mother out freely enjoying he condition? I
do--hope I'm not alone!
Cris
