Hello!
I am 25 and in a long term relationship with my lovely DP. I have been broody for a while now but it's getting stronger. Due to our financial and work situation it is just not the right time to start TTC. DP and I have talked about wanting children and we know that we want to do it together one day Just not yet
Is there anyone else out there who is in this position, I feel a bit like an imposter on Mumsnet as I am not a Mum yet but didn't know where else to go to try and find some one feeling the same.
Enjoy the sun if it is shining where you are.

You're never an imposter on mumsnet, any ho your post is relating to thinking about being a mum anyway :-)

Definitely understand...

I have one DS and want another but need to be sensible finacially and wait for a while...... but I'm sooo broody. I'm 27 and started trying for my first baby at 25 and it took me 18 months to get pregnant so I don't want to start trying in 18 months for it to take another 18 months to get pregnant again!

Newborn babies make me even worse!

I am 27 and felt very broody but under pressure from friends for being too young but in the end we decided to go with it anyway as there is no right time. So you should talk to your DP and if its what you really both want then it is right timing.

Good luck!

I'm 26 I've been married to dh for nearly 2 years but we have been together for the last 11 so have felt ready for quite some time to start a family so understand your broodyness. We decided that I would come off the pill at the beginning of this year to let my body get back to normal but would have to wait and use condoms for a while because of finances but we have decided we can't wait any longer so we are now ttc. Everyone says it works out eventually and it has already started to for us we have just had to use a bit of imagination with our finances! Good luck hope it works out for you!

Thanks ladies
i keep thinking bout the time spent ttc and that even if we did deceid to go for it it would take a while or we might have problems. We think dp is only firing from one ball due to a floating testical! Sorry for tmi!!
Babies definately make me worse! Get like this mostly after seeing our friends lil 4 month old.
It makes me very sad that I am not ttc, dp finds this hardest to understand, it's not just wanting a baby with him it's the sadness when af arrives and like now when dp has just said he wouldn't want to have a baby with out being married. This is first time he has mentioned this and so suddenly my dream feels even farther away.

Sorry that was a depressed self indulgent post!

brockleyD i too feel the pressure from friends and family that i am too young to even be thinking about babies but some how at 25 i feel old and that now is actully the right time, we will still be young enough with DC leaves home to have a life! And you're right there is never the right time and you will never have enough money.

thanks Florin for the having the positiivty i lacked this morning! I am sure it will work out, at least my DP isnt running to the hills at the mention of babies, he is broody to!

Hatters1982 How lovely to have a DS already how old is he? 18months is a while to wait for the BFP. I already feel i would be POAS every other day if i was TTC! think maybe i should use the time waiting to get a better handle on it all so that i can relax about it!!

Thanks again for posting replies and I am sorry for the self indulgence earlier, i am blaming the Moon for emotionality!
