Sudden urge to have another child

[mumofone2818]

I dont feel like this is a faze i'm going through or maybe i am - opinions please!

I have a DD aged 17 months and over the last week I have been so broody at wanting to add to our family!! OH says he doesnt know if he wants more children & I have simply asked him to think about it as if the answer is a definite no then i can get it out my system and stop thinking of it!

Grew up in a family of 6 of ehich 4 were kids and would love DD to grow up with a sibling to always have around, I loved this anout my childhood & so did OH.

I would like to have another child before DD turns 4 so there isnt a big age gap, but would love to try again just now! Has anyone else has this sudden urge and did they go ahead with it?

Have you discussed in the past how many children you both want?
You're not unreasonable to want another, but I don't think it's something you should do on a whim. Maybe sit on the idea for a few weeks or months and see if you still feel the same. Especially if your partner isn't 100% up for it.

Growing up I always wanted a big family (3+ kids) but OH doesnt want many more but said in the future he would have one more child but that would be it & i'm happy with this, 2 children is better than none! I spoke to him about it at the weekend but he kept laughing it off even when I was telling him I was being serious. I said it doesnt need to be right now i mean ideally i would like to fall pregnant when DD turns 3 at the latest so we still have a long time before that happens! I didnt grow up an only child so i dont know if they wish they had siblings or are happy to be the only child.
