Childbirth envy. Push.

Broad hips envy.  Push.

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. 

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. 

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

Anyone else have pregnancy envy?     Hugs Shannon

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.

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.

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.

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.
