to be so broody I irratate myself,

[Rollon2012]

so broody, every time I go shopping I se anything remotley babyish staight looking , knowing I wont /dont need to buy it.

contantly on my mind, all the time
I saw a nappy cake the other day now I want to make one

do I need a large brick to fall out of the sky and knock me out for a few months ??
arrgh help.

YANBU, but you might want to work out why you're broody, and if there's anything you can do about it, to alleviate the pressure!

I'm broody too, but am working on it - in my case I need to build up my relationship with DP (we've only been together 2 years) and get my mental health and career firmly on track first!

I really want a babba no.2 but cant take my implant out quite yet, so near yet so far feeling I think.

also I think my toddler would like a sibling, but tbh its also a bit of a shallow thing if I see a flash of baby pink, blue I'm like cooing, teddies, new baby cards you name it god I was not this person before kids

"god I was not this person before kids "

Maybe work on accepting the new Mummy you? AFAIK i don't have any. Yet a toddler and a baby is hard so set yourself a target of when you'd like to start ttc and enjoy your new "you" and your toddler for a while?

Yes, I know, it's bloody easy to say!

I sorta know what you mean

It like a aching broodiness I just see it everywhere :(

I'm still at the gaga over other people's stage. I have a 4yo nephew on DP's side who comes to stay in the school holidays, so I get all the benefits of "Guess what X did" smugness. And my best mate has a 4 month old so I get snuggles and sewing/crochet opportunities.

I pretty much cope with it by telling myself that I'm not even thirty yet for another 11 days. I need to think of a new line and that X Y and Z need to happen (career, mental health, weight loss etc Insert as appropriate!)

Reality how mean!

Why can't you take the implant out yet?

Baby and toddler really not so bad - my DD1 was 22 mo when her sister was born. I would say it was busy, it was full-on, but it wasn't as tough as learning how to be a mother right from scratch like the first time round.

And now they are 3.3 and 16mo the play together brilliantly and I am largely redundant.

This may not help, but I am also vv broody for another too

Oh 'aching broodiness' rings so many bells with me, it almost silences the tick, tick, ticking of my biological clock! I have started to hide friends on facebook with new babies, looking at their photos makes me yearn to have another baby so much, it's actually physical. YADNBU. Or if you are, then I am too and I can't see that being the case.

benandhollyandgaston - had a live vaccine

purplepidjin- you've done well if you're nearly 30 though I wasnt even twenty when I had my first.

ellmum- Oh i know it really is physical It consumes me

It's horrid. I feel ungrateful because DD is so great, and took so bloody long to conceive, I should be happy with my lot and not still have this yearning. It's worse though, isn't it - when you know what it is you're yearning for? I do think you might have gone a bit far with your desire to make a nappy cake though . Thank God no one ever brought me one of them!

I'm with you on the nappy cake, it would be fun to make one.

I don't get the aching for a baby in the same way that I have heard other women describe, but I do get broody, even though I know that in reality I don't actually want a baby.

Broodyness is a strange thing.

My first criteria for becoming a Mum is to only have a child with someone who deserves to be a father - so I spent a long time assuming I wouldn't have any kids because I didn't think I deserved to be with someone like that.

Then DP turned up a couple of years ago, so it's all hit me at once

thats sweet purplepidjin- I never thought anyone would even want to sleep with me never mind a child. I told my do I thought the only way I would ever have kids is being 30 with a gay best friend and a turkey baster glad I found someone though, even though dc was a surprise.

Having a really bad dayt of it today it just consumes my every thought, trying to get on top of chore get my mind off ,

nope not happening.
