Anyone else have pregnancy envy? Hugs Shannon
It's actually pretty common. Apple Seed posted this link recently:

I don't care to have kids at all. I can play with my niece for a little while but if I have to be with kids for a long period of time I would get really annoyed.
Girls - It's not motherhood for me its the actual pregnancy and nine months experience. I would love to be a perpetual surrogate.

Not going to lie...that's kind of weird...
Big belly? backache? wild mood swings? Having to deal with people asking so many questions?
no thanks. I've always been ok with not having kids and that doesn't change on the other side of the fence.
Though I have 2 adult kids and don't really want to start over, I do find that I'm disappointed that I'll never be pregnant and never breastfeed my own children.
I don't think I'd want kids. Not as a male or female. But I have thought about being pregnant. When I was 6 I think i used to play with pillows.
It makes no sense but YES i have had pregnancy envy. I have kids I don't want more but to be able to get pregnant...........
Oh yes. Have had that in mind off and on since I was young. It's something that still ends up in fantasies once in a while. I would love the entire experience, and not just sex and the results, but the whole thing from having periods, sex, pregnancy, child birth, breastfeeding and all. I think I must be transgender or something.

Kathy. I couldn't agree more. It's not about the weight gain but feeling the baby move kick. I would love the doctor or midwife checkups and all the attention and pampering
PM if you are interested in chatting more

That looks like an interesting product... its expensive.. I would love to feel whats its like to be pregnant
Yes i do get pregnancy envy..
If I ever decided to have children of my own
I would rather give birth than adopt.
If on the other hand I meet a girl, then there really
is no issue. Frozen sperm and artificial insemination,
problem solved.
Being with a man is trickier. Perhaps a "surrogate"
mother (a.i. once again) and have two kids: one mine and one his?
So to answer the question: yeah, I guess I kinda have a pregnancy envy.
More like pregnancy jealousy. It's a part of being a woman, why wouldn't I
want it? Just out of fear of becoming fat? My mother gave birth to both
me and my brother and she's as thin as a straw.
P.S.: yeah, I'm bi, by the way.

Definitely YES. Cried a lot in high school and college when I learned I could not.
Maybe an inflation fetish, but I don't even want to be the father. In fact, I'm not even considering saving sperm...
Seriously, even when I used to think about how my life would be as a girl years ago, pregnancy scared me as fluff. if I had been born a girl I would also get sterilised.
There are a lot of cute outfits and tops with ties and bows and florals

Part of my transition has been a shared `spill my guts' session with close friends, and my two closest have both told me that they loved being pregnant and fantasize about it. So...maybe not so weird?
I definitely get pregnancy envy; I lost it while watching this UK show "One Born Every Minute" and again facing the reality that transition is to a partial facsimile of the real thing. Oh well! It probably doesn't help that all my peers are married with little kids.
I love watching A Baby Story on TLC
To be honest: yes, I do have pregnancy envy. The weird part is that I really don't want to have kids. Would I be able to babysit a friend's baby and enjoy it? Sure. However, I would be able to give the kid back at the end of the day and sleep. Thus, I would prefer to be a perpetual surrogate than actually have to be a mom 24/7/365. I just don't have the patience for kids. Oh well. ::)
Childbirth envy. Push.
Broad hips envy. Push.

I actually have a similar thing.
I'm not sure if I could make a good parent.
However if my spouse would be loving and supportive
of me (let's just hope he or she will be) then why the heck not?

Oh, I can think of a ton of reasons not to have children, but I'd rather not list them because I don't think I could stop. ::)
However, I don't mind babysitting (emphasis on the baby--> NO KIDS) every once in a while or taking care of one of my guy friends when he's sick (guys like to act like babies when they're sick so we ladies take care of them ::)). I guess I just like being a mom that spoils her babies, even if only for a few precious seconds. I don't know if that's because I'm jealous of women who can actually have babies. However, the reasons I said I enjoy babysitting and taking care of sick guy friends are that unlike your own kids:
1. It doesn't happen very often, so I don't have to deal with it for long and when it starts to get annoying.
2. At the end of the day, I'm not responsible and we all know that it's at night when things go awry, but I'll be asleep. :laugh:
I would love to be a surrogate!
Ow wow, I used to photoshop my head on pregnant pics.
So yeah, I guess I have the pregnancy jelly! lol

Yes, it's always been a dream of mine. Would do it asap if it were possible. :)
I have, actually. The whole process of finding someone you love, carrying both of our child, and raising it has always sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately it is too good to be true, haha. I've always wanted to have kids, but I never thought I could make a good father, and so never actively sought be one. Since admitting to myself that I'm transgender, the envy has gotten worse :(
I definitely get it sometimes. Its especially bad when girls i know are prego. i wish i could birth my own children. Its a beautiful thing. Im not ready for kids yet tho, but one day i will be. Maybe in the future it will be a possibility but who knows. For now i just try to focus on things i can do something about.
Quote from: JackieMarie on November 21, 2012, 07:19:57 PM...when girls i know...
I have spent a lot of time thinking about my sex and gender feelings, with help of my psychologist. I think desire to be pregnant traces back to my earliest memories, so probably when my
mother was pregnant with my younger sister and later with your younger brother... I was about 4.
Then, it came on really strong and specific in high school: I want to be pregnant and give birth. I cannot explain it, but it was like my
hips wanted to be pregnant. Does that sound strange? Anyway, that is what I felt.
I any event, Jackie Marie, there were no pregnant schoolmates that I saw every day, just general learning and observation of pregnant women.
After seeing my wife have two baby's and the bond they had from the beginning I would love to experience being pregnant. It's a feeling that makes a woman feel needed and loved.

Thats exactly the way I always felt, although I never saved sperm because I want to give birth as a woman, its a part of womanhood I'II never experience. But as I get older I don't think about it as much. I did definitely have ''pregnancy envy''
I successfully transitioned to the woman I am now, Im a housewife, I experience great sex with my husband, but can never get pregnant by him, my life as a woman is complete, but its a part of womanhood I'II always miss and it sucks.
