Does anyone else really miss their bump?

    Yes and No.

    I miss rubbing it, feeling her kicks, knowing that she was all snug inside me, the excuse for the last bit of pizza.

    I dont miss not being able to put shoes on, not being able to leave the house due to horrible pains when walking and not being able to get it and out of the bath with dignity.

    But i honestly cant wait for my next bump!

    Totally agree with all of the above. I also loved when I went to a couple of weddings and parties and people would comment on how good I looked, all because I'd put on a dress and done my hair. They think you're amazing because 1) you're there as opposed to lying on the couch feeling fat and 2) you're dressed up. It definitely beats worrying about the usual wobbly bits!

    Of course having a bump also gets you out of things you don't want to go to which is equally good! :)

    I have this week, simply because I'm back at college, last time I was there I was at that nice stage where you have a bump and baby is wriggling about but you can still move and it doesn't feel heavy (20-28weeks say). Plus, baby (shes 1 but she is still my baby!) was in nursery so I was pretty lost. I've not been apart from her all that much, a handful of times really. And it was the same tutor, who for some reason, baby used to go mad when he talked. So I did kinda at some points wonder why she wasn't wriggling...

    Beyond that, I didn't enjoy pregnancy much and I never liked the feeling when they moved (physically I mean, I didn't like the sensation, I did like to know they were alive and ok), or the heavyness, tiredness, fat feet and constant worry!

    Oh I really miss my bump, I loved being pregnant both times and would love another baby for nothing else but being pregant, having a bump and then having a beautiful baby. However my dh has said no and I agree with him, it is one of those heart over the head things.

    I did see a pregnant lady at school today though and felt really jealous:)
