How to deal with always wanting another baby

[RPL19517]

I have 2 DC, 5 years and 20 months old. I adore being a mum and have been broody since the age of about 12. I would love more kids, I grew up as one of 6 and would like at least another 1 or 2. I am now 28 and have been left as a lone parent. How do I get rid of the constant broodiness and accept that this may be it for me? :(

I don't know op but following.

Hope you're OK BTW.

You're very young! Hard to tell what the future might bring. One thing that is great about having 2 is that you are able to meet so many more of their needs, for your time and financially.
I've just found myself a lone parent of 3 and while I would never unwish a child, it is SO hard to meet needs, and it isn't like when we were growing up - the expectations and standards are a lot higher both for the kids themselves and of parents, and it doesn't let up so much as they grow.

Like you I am always broody but have come to realise that what I want is another baby, but not necessarily another child - and that the needs of the kids I have come first, and right now they're better off with each other right now.

It's interesting that your title refers to wanting another baby, not wanting another child. Focus on the DC you do have.
