Hi everyone, just wondered if there was anyone else feeling like me. Im 40 and already have 5 children, im feeling quite broody at the moment , my youngest is 4 and my eldest is 21.I would love to have another baby but just hate the thought of what family/friends would think or say. My partner would have another one too if i really want to have one. Why do i feel like this and will these broody feelings ever go away. I need to make a decision soon, and wish i could forget what other people think......should i go for it or am i being greedy as i have 5 lovely children.

I think you have come to the right place for a bit of positive reinforcement

There are some lovely people on here with lots and lots of children. I'm hoping they'll be along soon to give us the low-down.

I have 4, but think I'd like 2 more. In my mind, 6 won't be that different to 4. Am I misguided I wonder?

Oh go on, you know you want to!

Hi NAB, your right, im sure others wouldn't approve as i have a large family already, but still cant help letting others bother me.I keep thinking maybe i will just leave it to nature and if it happens it was meant to be , as i know it might be alittle harder getter pg this time as im abit older.

I take it you think people won't be positive if you were to conceive again, and that is what you hate? It really is no one elses business and you can tell them so. They aren't the ones gettin gup in the night, doing the feeding, giving the cuddles, etc etc

I have 3 and have always wanted more but I also know if I had another 3 and I would still want more.
