Coping with broodiness

How do you keep overwhelming broodiness at bay?

I don't need chastisement or anything as I won't be having more DC, I already have 3 and wouldn't have the space or finances for more.

But, I'm only 29 and I am worried I have years of feeling broody ahead of me. Youngest DS is nearly 3 and until very recently I felt so content and "done". I genuinely dreaded the idea of ever getting pregnant again and am in a good place with career, studying, and enjoying my 3 young children.

However recently I am starting to feel that strong urge to have a baby. I was extremely broody pre children from quite a young age, and assumed it would go away once my family was complete. Am starting to come to terms with the fact that it may be hormonal and therefore permanent until menopause.

How do you cope? Walking past baby formula etc causing flare ups. I need to get through the next 10 - 15 years potentially dealing with this
