Dd just hit toddlerhood.

Fecking hell the broodyness is hitting me like a tonne of bricks and I think about baby no2 almost every daily.

It's totally clouding my judgment. The sensible thing to do would be to wait another year. But all I can think about is babies! (even dirty nappies..long night feeds etc)

Tell me its just mother nature fucking with my hormones and that i don't really want a tetchy toddler and a newborn? This will pass right? aibu and crazy to want another when I have a dream job with no hope of returningif I have no2?

I got pregnant with dd2 when dd2 was 15 months and it was hard work for a while but is lovely now (they're 3.5 and 5.5) and tthey're so close.

That's not what you wanted is it?! Grin

If you're thinking that in a year it will be the perfect time for you to TTC no2, then sorry, but it probably won't pass! Why would it when it is a fact that you will want to increase the size of your family sooner or later.

16 months between #2 and #3 here and i wish i had a 4th soon after. we put it off and put it off and suddenly they were grown, and life had swept us all along and it wasnt really time after that. just sayin Grin so i am no help either!

Me neither, I had DS1, then DS2 after 5 years and much trying, then DD1 and DS2 within 2.5 years and was still broody for years. DH was having none of it, but then against the odds we had DD2 after 8 years. Now she is going to school and I am still broody (even though i am really too old now) Sad
Doing the school run with 3 under 3's was hard work though!

From a male perspective I can say that having children so close in age is fantastic. 12 months apart and we would love another already :-)
