How to stop the overwhelming urge for a baby?

[ShanAmanda]

Hi, does anyone know how to stop this overwhelming urge for a baby? I miscarried a baby 2 years ago in November with my previous partner. Baby wasn’t planned and I only found out a few days before I miscarried 😢 I’ve been with my current partner nearly a year and this urge for a baby is taking over my life; me and my partner have spoke about it and said it’s still too early on for us and I don’t think I’m mentally ready to prepare myself for all the possibilities again. But, I can’t shake this urge. Anyone had any luck reigning it in please? Any advice is much appreciated ❤️

Take up a new hobby. Focus on your career

I spent a lot of time with other people's children and seeing the hard work / stress / really dull aspects of it knocked back my urge for quite a while. Enjoying other aspects of your life like pp said - having a hobby and being able to build your career, have savings, Get your house in order and travel etcetc do all the things you will have wanted to have done / got sorted for whenever you are ready to have kids in future.

Thank you. I work 5 days a week in a nursery and the various behaviour types hasn't bothered me yet! :) I've taken up a few new hobbies recently, I'll have to find more to fill any gaps

Put your alarm clock for every two hours during the night for at least a week. Make sure you get up and don't go back to sleep for at least 30 min.
Then see if you still wish that baby.

I've been here, we ended up getting two puppies, 3 years later we both decided it was the right time to have a baby, we now have two dogs and two children and it's a mad house. A dog definitely helped us, but also get out there and enjoy having no responsibilities!!

I'll be sure to try the alarm trick 😂 Awh! I can imagine it gets busy! Our property doesn't allow pets or I think we'd have a houseful by now 😂❤️
