Anyone else experience extreme broodiness which seems to come and go in waves of intensity?! When it's bad it's pretty much all I can think about and consumes my day whilst I'm trying desperately to get some work done. Although we've got a 4 bed house, good jobs and a solid relationship, I'm only 24 and despite partner being a bit older we had hoped to wait a little while longer for a baby just yet. Is ever going to go away or am I going to have to give in?!

Can be normal to be intensely broody particularly during the few days around ovulation!

On the other hand, if you are genuinely suffering from very intrusive thoughts that are negatively affecting your work on a regular basis, you could seek cognitive behavioural therapy.

Oh yeah. I just look at cute pictures of babies on baby forums.

I don't remember it affecting my work, but I remember being 26ish, in a solid relationship/career/house and feeling very much "broody" and time for kids. And yeah we had our first the next year.

I was insanely broody from my late twenties. I remember looking at a baby gro in a shop and wanting to cry and mooning around the shop window of Mamas and Papas. Trying to drag DP to visit newborn babies so he would realise he actually really wanted one and would be struck by what an amazing mum I would be Grin

If I won the lottery I would spend my whole life getting pregnant and having babies Blush
