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.
