    Never, ever, ever. That is not to say it is me who is normal and you who are strange, I just hated being pregnant, can't think why I did it 4 times!!

    I miss the feeling of kicking (well as long as it wasn't aimed at any vital organs or my bladder LOL) but I don't miss the huge beach ball that got in the way of everything!!! Actually I don't miss being pregnant - it's a means to an end ;)

    I experienced that more with my first than my second, though it did happen with both. I had pnd with my second though so I don't really remember much of that time.

    It's so hard to explain about the bond that can develop when a person shares your body like that! I knew when they were hiccuping, sleeping, stretching, reacting to music or someone's voice or trying to turn. And they were between me and everything I did, from reaching over the sink to wash up to hugging my husband. There didn't seem to be a second of the day or night when I wasn't aware of their presence. It can be really intense and wonderful.

    Despite the most horrendous difficulties during both pregnancies, and most of my time spent either in hospital or stuck in bed at home, I can look back very fondly on those experiences and be glad of them.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    yep. I wish they were both back in my stomach doing nothing more than making me uncomfortable and giving me indigestion, instead of talking, giggling, creeping into each others rooms instead of going to sleep! They are 10 and 7 btw. ;)
