Oh please talk some sense into me!! I REALLY need it!

[Inthebungalow]

We thought we were ready for baby number 3, well I thought I was, but things are so hectic at the moment and we have decided to wait 6 months and see how things are then.

However, I came off my contaception a few months ago and had a normal cycle last month in which we were activly trying to get pregnant but did not.

Since we decided to leave it 6 months we have bought condoms and Ive not gone back on my contraception as we have the view to concieving later this year.

I know that Im going to ovulate soon and Im so sorely tempted to have an accident.

Even as I type this Im thinking 'noooo don't do it!'

But theres always thatstupid, impatient, broody voice in my head.

It wouldn't be good, it would be very hard, draining, it would be finacially difficult, I would be stretched to my limits ....but it would be a tiny baby

SLAP ME!

If you've decided as a couple to leave it 6 months this would be a breach of trust. If you really want to try now, then discuss it with your husband first.

Ask him. He may be feeling the same. If he's not, he'll at least have fair warning that you should be avoided with a very large pole for a few days till you've got past the crazy hormonal bit of your cycle

Hi Bungalow,

Just wanted to say that I can relate to you completely and I know how hard it is to desperately want dc1/2/3 etc but to not be able to for personal reasons. I have wanted dc1 for years to be honest but can't ttc till at least Sept for financial reasons. I am sure someone will be along soon to tell you to "go for it" that you will never have enough money, energy, big enough house etc, but I am not going to do that, I am sure the voice in your head is telling you that already. I just wanted to let you know you are not alone, in fact there is a whole thread of people here who are waiting for various reasons (some are a little impatient) if you ever want to share the load with someone.

I dont mean an accident on my part alone.

If we had sex I know DH would not put a condom on without me telling him to, he is a grown man and if felt so strongly he would do so.

So I would simply be foregetting to suggest it!

What would be different about 6 months time wont it still be very hard, draining and financially difficult lol? It could take 6 months to conceive, I would tell him you'd like to start trying. Oh you've got me thinking now...tiny baby but mines only 6 months lol

I also wud like ttc DC3, mine r 11 and 14 and even though I feel I should be moving forward I still long for another baby! Unfortunately DH doesn't quite feel the same, he's enjoying the freedom of havin older children who are independant, being able to go out more, have more sex, without being disturbed by a crying baby etc! How do I change his mind, I can see his point, but still feel young enough (36), to have another baby!

Hi its me again, just been out with the dog, and bumped into a friend whose just had DC1, she was so beautiful, its confirmation that i'm still very broody, and would definately love another baby!
