I'm 33 and I have hand on heart never felt anything I could describe as 'broody'. I have no DC but have been with DP for a long time. As a child / teen I never thought I'd have kids and was upfront with DP (way back when) that I didn't think I wanted any.
Anyway, now I'm getting older I get the odd comment from family about getting a move on etc. or that we'll come round to it (um, well, we might, but I'm 33 which is not panic stations, but nor is it 'lets hang about 10 years and see if we fancy it' territory'). DP has never really raised it although he was ambivalent (towards not) when we met and I have hammered home the age message as we are same age.
The reason for posting though was to see if anyone is willing to share what 'feeling broody' or indeed deciding to have a family without 'feeling broody' meant for people. I've been waiting for years for this 'overwhelming urge to procreate' to hit me (as people promised it would when I said I didn't want kids in my teens) and I am feeling a little defective in that it's never happened
