Housework
Nope, you should get a little more mileage out of that one- especially if you breastfeed or have a c-section.

Nobody expects the mother of a newborn to have the time, energy or inclination to do housework.

The only things I missed about being pregnant the first time was feeling and seeing the bay moving around, and having the baby around without actually having the baby out here, crying and making me fret.

You also look better pregnant than you do immediately after having the baby. Even if you thought you lookede huge and crazy, at least the belly was hard and round- once it's empty it's pretty dodgy looking, and you also notice how crappy other parts of you body look too, once the belly focus is gone !!!!
One thing you won't miss is your maternity clothes- you'll probably still be in them !!!!!!!

I haven't been pregnant for awhile, but I know what you are talking about. My daughter is 17 months and I still miss these: feeling my baby kick, knowing that my husband could never feel the way I feel when the little one is growing inside me, that special bond between me and my baby.

I will miss having the excuse of being fat. Because when you are pregnant you're not fat, you are with child and this is the only time being round is beautiful. Plus my husband loves the pregnant belly, I don't know what he is going to think right after I have the baby. I know I wont want to look at myself naked!!!!!

Everyone told me around the end of my pregnancy that I would miss being pregnant but of course I was so ready for it to be over with that I didn't believe them. Well, they were right. I miss my hubby always rubbing my tummy, my little guy always jumping around in there, not having to worry so much, just being lazy, not working, and of course being as big as a house but not fat!! Lol!! Good luck to all you mothers to be...You'll do fine!!

God bless and good luck,
teresa

Things I Will Miss
Unfortunately, I disagree with your list. I have dreamt of being a mother since I can remember, but now that i'm prenant, I hate it! Geez if anyone gives me one more opinion or personal advice i'll scream! And who says it's okay for a stranger to touch someone's stomach??? I hate watching what I eat, drink, smell, smoke.... I can't enjoy any of life's pleasures. I feel helpless! However, every once in a while when i'm alone laying on the couch and l'il one does a 360 in my tummy I feel a little excitement and am content that I am responsibly making sacrifices for my baby. No one but mom has that connection. Oh yeah, and I have no clothes that fit! Most of the time I walk around the house in a t-shirt and socks just because i'm comfortable that way:) sorry, had to gab. Thanks
