it makes me way too broody.

You are welcome to pop round to mine to do some night feeds if that would help with bloodiness

that would help loads, I actually liked night feeds, all on your own in a really odd world, with very bizarre stuff on the tv and nobody matters but you and baby, obviously the novelty wears off fairly quickly. grin

Broody not bloody!! But know what you mean about the bonding at night (I always found colic filled evenings of screaming worse)

'bloodiness' grin

YABU if other people's baby make you feel broody wink. The best thing about friend's babies as that you can Give Them Back - cuddle and return to mum; perfect!!

Oh gawd, remember the 'bloodiness' postnatally, too grin

I was broody for another. But I am ill at the moment and was sick last night, which has reminded me of the fun of hyperemesis. Broodiness well and truly gone grin

I am always broody, been broody all my life, if I could do it without the pregancy bit then that would be lovely. when we had dc none of freinds had any, now they all seem to be having babies, actually should enjoy laughing at them now mine are older and less work.

YANBU, I am in exactly the same situation, babies everywhere and my two are seven and twelve. It makes me sad.

Me too dita. In the last week a friend announced she's expecting a little boy, another friend has just found out she's three months pregnant, someone else has ostentatiously started refusing wine and smiling coyly (grin), and a fourth friend is due at the end of May.

And I have a gorgeous baby niece just trying to learn to walk, which is the cutest thing.

Damn them all, don't they realize they're making me broody! grin
