My lovely little boy is 20months old now and I'm unbelievably broody!!!

I'm not exactly sure DH is ready for another child. He adores our son but it did taken him a while to adapt and I know he found it Tough when the baby was tiny....

So just wondering if anyone else had to carefully broach the subject of another child and with what consequences....

I felt the same when DS was similar age, but wasn't sure how to broach the subject with DH (esp as I was a bit up and down during the first year Blush).

What actually happened was we had a false alarm - my cycle was all over the place and didn't have a period for over 6 weeks. I did a test and it was neg, but it did make me realise how broody I was feeling and was the starting point for conversation with DH. I got pg with DD within 2 months and she is now 2yrs old and delightful. I don't have any broody feelings now tho...

i am in the same position. tried to bring up the subject and got bad results....my DH says he doesnt want to even talk about another child till this time next year! main reasons being we are struggling financially and he needs the year to get us back on track...

but i am soooo broody and we are not getting any younger. my clock is ticking! he claims that we got pregnant easily the first time so it will be easy the second time... but i disagree, anything can go wrong and we are getting older.

i don't want to force him nor do i want to argue about it, so i guess my plan is not to say anything for 6 months and then bring it up again to try then as a compromise.
but it will be sooo hard not to nag him about it!

only good thing is that lots of friends/family ask when we will have another...

how do you convince? am hoping someone else knows...
