Baby Blues...Pre baby?

So...I have always said that I was born to be a mommy -- and couldnt wait to have kids and a big family.  I think in my mind I thought that pregnancy was going to be rainbows and butterflies all of the time.  NOT THE CASE.  During my first Trimester I really didnt think I would be able to do it...I was sick all the time and feeling horrible.  Now I can feel the baby move and we know she is a she and I am already dreading the day I am not carrying her inside of me.  Dreading it enough I feel really, really depressed and emotional.  I just cannot imagine not having this little being inside of me.  I know this first tri was hard on my husband because he hated seeing me feel so bad but he cannot relate to the empty feeling (even though I am not) because he is just ready for her to be here.

 Anyone else had this?  Will it get worse once the baby is actually here?

I am the opposite. I cannot WAIT to not be pregnant anymore. It has really done a number on how I feel about myself.  I was really sick during first tri as well so that didn't help much.

can you identify WHY it is going to bother you so much to not be carrying a baby inside anymore?

I was in great shape before I got pregnant.  I worked out everyday...my self image has gone down hill...I never feel cute anymore BUT...there is something about carrying the baby inside of me and just knowing she is safe and sound and it is something so huge to prepare for and look forward to - I'm not sure.

I can relate on the self image part - I do not enjoy seeing my belly grow. I cannot wait to start working out. We really wanted 2 kids, but after this, not sure if I could do it again. Things may change in a few yrs, but for now.. it sucks :(
