I mean honestly, DD3 is 10 months old and I have been SO broody from when she was a week old. I could cry knowing that I might never be pregnant again.

I mean I LOATHE being pregnant, I get horrific pelvic pain which means I practically cannot walk which coupled with all the usual pregnancy aches and pains and looking after other DC is no fun at all.

I am constantly knackered, DD3 likes her midnight snacks and has never slept through, and with having 3 under 5 and no family support and a DH who works from 6am to 6pm it's not easy.

PLUS we live in a 2 1/2 bedroom house and need to extend in a few years, would need a huge car and just the cost of children not to mention giving each one quality time etc

Yet still I want another baby piss off hormones I hate you

lol sweetkitty

you know, I have very rarely in my life felt broody. Really, hardly ever.

But my gawd, after I had dd, I was like a walking conception timebomb. I literally HAD to conceive (and did and had ds).

Once I had ds, I had urges again but not as strong as the ones I had after dd.

Think it is very hard not to follow your hormones. But we too live in a 2.5 bedroom house and goodness knows how you'd manage with 4.

Tell dh to start trying to put you off the idea though I suspect if you feel this strongly, the urge will be hard to resist!

Could you give yourself a time limit?

Like "if I still feel like this in X months we'll go for it?"

That might help you put it to the back of your mind a bit, then you might start to enjoy not being pg enough to be more circumspect.

Ah but the thing is DH is all for it, he looks at DD3 too and thinks "oh SK she cannot be our last"

I said when I was pregnant with DD3 that was it NO MORE, I wish these feelings would go away, lockets did a fourth cure you of all broodiness?

Oh I absolutely know how you feel!!

My dd is 4years old now and ds will be 3years old in July and I'm desperately hankering after getting pregnant with my third but my dh says "oh maybe in about 7 years"

SEVEN YEARS!!! Not likely, he'll be lucky if 7 months passes!
He said we couldn't afford it and then when I proved we could he decided actually he wasn't ready and is sticking rigidly to that now. I def don't want to wait 7 years cos thats practically encouraging inter-sibling gang rivalry!!!

GGrrrrrrrr......men!
Wish they were more aggreeable sometimes
