Broodinesss

i am so broody today.  went out to grab a sandwich and there were all these babies and pregnant women, everywhere (or at least it seemed like everywhere).  i have no intention of getting pregnant anytime soon, but boy are my hormones on overdrive today!  i'm only 25- there's noooooo rush on this.  that's my mantra of the moment.

Definitely!  Dang, at 25, I was living hte professional life and climbing every peak and cliff in reach. 

Didn't start getting broody till I was 30.

Plenty of time, I'd say!

Hi Meggles, I’m 26 and definitely feel the biological clock ticking!! Most of my siblings have kids so I definitely feel like I’m missing out on parenthood. The worst thing is that I know I’ve got fertility problems (endometriosis) and the doctor suggested -- due to family history (mom and maternal grandmother started going through menopause in early 30s, and mom’s sis had a hysterectomy at 28 due to cancer) -- I start thinking about getting pregnant NOW. Pretty hard when I know I’ve got problems! In the past 5 years, never once have I been pregnant or even thought I was. Obviously, I wouldn’t want to have a miscarriage, but at least I’d know I could get pregnant.

I got broody for a few days when I was about 21 and never since really.  At 25-26 you have LOADS of time left (talking about people with no known fertility problems). There are plenty of us "older" mums on here who didn't have babies til our 30s. Chill out and enjoy the stress free life while you can!!

I had a baby on Saturday and I'm ready for another one.  Another two, even.

I have NO idea where this came from.  Hormones, I guess.

OMG!!!   

I wasnt broody till I heard about your new baby Expat! Im DYING for a girl!!

Yep, it's hormones.  I had the same thing when both mine were born-immediately after I couldn't wait to do it again.  Funny enough, after Dagmar I didn't want any more, now I have two and I want another (maybe!).
My good friend here is pregnant and I have to admit-seeing her pregnant makes me want to do it again. 

Once we get our own place (which, hopefully, won't be too long after the new year), I hope to start booking in tests and treatments for both dh and I.  

I think Dale is getting broody.While I was pregnant we agreed we will have another one in about 5 years,and not before. But lately he's been "joking" about me getting pregnant again soon. When it comes down to it, I know he knows it won't be a good thing because with me not working right now,two kids plus us on only his paycheck won't cut it... I'm just hoping once I do start working he will remember the "5 year rule"! lol.
I had a difficult labor where we almost lost our daughter, so that put me off on wanting another baby anytime soon,even when its been 5 years I will still be hesitant.

About 5 years ago, when I was still with my ex-husband, I was so incredibly broody, all I could think about was having a baby. I was having dreams all the time that I was pregnant. I even took pregnancy tests knowing that there was less than a 1% of being pregnant. I talked about it constantly and my ex kept saying, "soon...I'll be ready soon." Finally, during one discussion he actually said to me....get this..."We can have a baby if you promise to do most of the work."  
Fortunately, as broody as I was, I wasn't dumb enough to say, 'ok.' I divorced him a year later!!
Ironically, though, I haven't had a moment of broodiness since.

My ex said no.  Never.  We divorced 8 months later.

With my exhusband before we were married he always said that he wanted to have children asap. After we were married he changed it to he never wanted kids..ever. Some say that could be grounds for divorce in the courts eyes...... I had too many reasons anyway

After Aillidh, I didn't want another, either.  Andrew had to talk me into it after 18 months.  I had really bad PND as well.

The difference now is like night and day, even tho I found hte birth far more painful this time round, the second she was out, I thought, 'Oooo, let's do it again!' 

Even now, she was up half the night, and seeing her little eyes all alert and looking at me, it gave me this huge boost!
