To feel so damn broody

[notnow2]

I have 3 children 7,5 and 3. DH adamant that there will be no more. Held a few new babies recently and feel so broody and heartbroken that I will never have a new baby again. It is almost painful and I feel so selfish feeling this way. I know iabu - anyone else feel/ has felt this way? Does the feeling go?

Oh yes! Like you I had 3 children and longed for a 4th - as did DD2 who was constantly asking me to have another baby. Finally time put paid to any hope of a 4th - but I still get a sort of broodiness when I meet a new baby. Roll on February when DD2 is due to deliver DGS!!!

Yanbu.

Babies are lush.

I am desperate for more babies. It's a nasty little ache in my gut. I get teary when I see a gorgeous little newborn in asda or on the school run. I did have a little cry when an acquaintance announced her pregnancy. I so want to do it all over again!

Glad I'm not alone but wish someone gad a cure.

Sorry I just don't get it. I never feel broody holding someone else's child. I love my own dearly, but other peoples just don't inspire that love for me. I don't really like children at all tbh, except my own
Currently pregnant with 2nd dc and despite always wanting 3, I suspect this will be my last. Not sure how I will feel about this once I know my days of procreation are def over, maybe I will change my mind?
My sympathies anyway OP, it must be horrible to want something very badly that you can't have. Hope you're able to just take joy from the children you already have and move on.

I know how you feel OP. I was happy to have DD1 and pleased to try for DD2 ... but my GOD i got an attack of the broodiness for DD3!

Then i said no more.

Then i got divorced.

Then remarried.

Then ... brooooooodyness again! What did i do about it? Erm ...

DD4 is 8 months old

My youngest (of 4) is 20, and I have been attacked by broodiness on and off a lot over the years. I am currently suffering again as all the kids school friends have grown up and started producing their own babies. DD2 is due to produce my first GC next year, and oh, that poor baby is going to be spoilt

I have 3 and really want a 4th. it's hopeless, my dh doesn't, we have a 4 year old and 2.5 year old twins who.were so refluxy and. unsettled plus have food intolerances. But a lady at a playgroup announced her pregnancy with her 4th and I was so damn jealous

ynbu op.

its horriable, ib#v been broody for the psat 4 years, but two months ago i started feeling funny, did a test it was posative but had negatives when re testest, doctor said it was a chemical pregnancy, which i get is just egg hasnt implanted. it wasnt planned but i was over the moon, but when she explained what it is i alsp felt really upset but stupied as well for "grieving for a baby that wasnt a baby" if that makes any sence.

i get the feel of it almost being painfull, my partner doesnt want children EVER so that was a happy accident even though i was on the pill.

i feel your pain, being around my friend slittle little ones help me,

YANBU
