How to stop feeling broody? I need to stop this feeling!

[MerryBumpmas]

I have 3 of the same gender, so people are naturally always asking me when I’m having another (like 3 children aren’t enough!). I brush it off with a laugh but inside I’m still so broody. I wish I felt ‘done’.

A lot of people are adamant no more, they just know. How do I get to feel like this?

My youngest is 8 months and I don’t have periods again yet so can’t blame those hormones! I just get soo broody, my cousin has just had a baby & my best friend is pregnant.

How do you swallow the feeling?

For full disclosure - we do have a spare room & could afford one more (well who knows when they’re teenagers). I think it would be easier if we didn’t have that ‘option’ as it would rule it out. If we had one of the opposite sex, maybe I’d feel different (but I doubt it!). I hate feeling this way!

It's hormonal. The further you get out of the baby stage, the less and less appealing it is to go back.

Just tell yourself the door is fully closed, or your DH can have the snip. It passes.

Why include disability in your reply, is your dynamic wrecked because you had a disabled child? Or just because you had another child. Jheez hope it's not as offensive as it reads. Poor child

Hi ladies! I am after some advice. I've recently got back with an ex, in November, who Im madly in love with (I broke up with him previously and we had a 2 two year break). I know this guy is the one for me and we're making plans for the future. Just to clarity, this guy is the most lovely and caring guy you'd ever meet. I broke up with him, regrettably, and and I'm lucky he's given me another chance. He's got a 9year old son who used to adore me (when we were together before), but hasn't seen me since we got back together just yet, to protect him. I'm 31 (he's 42, if that matters?!) and I never wanted children until last year when I got myself in a terrible situation with a horrible person (a different guy) and had a termination. Ever since then, all I think about is having a baby! I'm a homeowner and earn a good wage, and wouldn't qualify for benefits before anyone says! I'm just wondering whether you think 6 months is too soon to start trying with someone even though you've previously been together for 2 years and in love? Hope that makes sense.

Hummm… where to start…. I have 3 children 16, 15 & 12 and I thought I was done!
but a year ago I met my current partner, he’s 44 and has no children (genuine personal reasons)… I see how amazing he is with mine and wonder if he’s starting to feel like he’s missed out?
I’m 36, and my head is so confused… part of me wants to give him the gift of a biological child (he has no other immediate blood family left alive), but I’ve spent the best part of my life being a mum and now my career is just taking off, in-fact I’ve just landed my dream job!
But… Just recently I have been getting incredibly broody… I picture us with a little one, giving him that wonderful gift… but I’m scared of having regrets, either way!
Do I/we just wait for grandchildren and continue bossing my career, hoping he/we don’t ever regret it… or do I take the plunge and do it all over again? He has his own business and works from home, so it’s not like I couldn’t go back to work if I wanted?!
I guess I’ve just become so use to sleep, eating in nice restaurants and not having to do the school run in the rain… 😂🫣
