I know no one can tell me but I'm so so confused. one minute I'm desperate for a baby the next I think it's a terrible idea.
I have a 7 year old daughter and a 4 year old son. Love them to bits but I'm sooo broody.
I had hyperemis with both and spd, then post natal depression which has been pretty bad at times.
Relationship with DH is up and down, argue like crazy then have lots of sex then back to arguing.
I absolutely hate not having enough sleep and can barely function.
We would have to move to a bigger house which we can do but it wouldn't be easy, we would have to save for a while but it won't be impossible either.
I've just got back into part time work again and lost weight and feel like ME again.
Most of our life revolves around the DC with clubs and things but I love it, I like doing things for them it doesn't bother me that I don't have much time to go out because I'm an introvert and love being with family and I do get to see my friends now and then which wouldn't change.
The broodiness is on another level though, I've never felt this strongly about wanting a baby ever before
Am I crazy to want one when we don't seem to be in the position for it? someone tell me to get a grip please and just enjoy what I have. I'm so up and down about this I just want to make a firm decision and stick to it.

ok. Thank you for all the responses, I'm going to enjoy having some time to myself now the youngest is in school and hopefully I'll enjoy it so much all thoughts of a baby will go right out the window.
Honestly though I just need to keep telling myself that it's just hormones and to get over it.

And my physical health is ok now but mentally I on my feel like I've come out of the fogginess of the depression about a year ago so I would definitly be insane to have another.
