Regular MNer but changed my name for some reason.

Hi anyone who reads, no response required here :-) I just want to tell the world at large that I'm longing to concieve my dc2. I had ds in October, and i have been so broody. DH says (rightly) that we cant yet, it'd be too much to cope with, too small a house etc etc and I know he's right. But no amount of sensible advice can make you feel better when you want to concieve, can it?
I love my ds to bits and I know this sounds stupid but i kind of want to get this done IYSWIM as we're only planning 2. ANd it would be so so so lovely to have ds bro or sis on the way. I dont want to feel like this so soon, its stupid I know.

Ohhh...sorry. Just wanted to vent. Due on on weds and even though we had sex on day 8 (TMI) i cant help hoping that i might be preg. Though day 14 is my fertile day and i'm reg as clockwork .

and the worse thing is i have endo so am going back on the pill with no breaks for 2 or 3 years starting the first day of my next period, because i know my dh is right. But still. DS was conceived by accident and I wish it would happen again

oh dear


it is really normal to get that broody feeling when your baby is still little....if you are only planning two, why not wait, enjoy DS, who is , what, 5 months, and watch him acheive his milestones..crawling, standing , walking, talking, and being a little person, and then try for DC2....

it is hard when that feeling hits and you know rationally, it is not a Good Idea

i was terribly broody when DS was 2 .5, but had bad PND, so knew it would be a mistake to have another , before i was well.....in the end we had a 6 year gap, which has worked well for us...and although not what i envisaged, has been a blessing !

it is hard when you have to make a heart/ head decision like this, but ultimately, you are not saying, no more babies, just not yet

thanks both for taking the time to respond to my crappy moaning :-) Lulumama you gave me advice about PND and yes that has crossed my mind too. The logic of the situation is crystal clear but the heart says NOW NOW NOW - you know how it is...xx

[lulumama]

i do know

and i can say without a shadow of a doubt that waiting was the best thing to do
