Broody

[guessmyage11]

I'm soon to be 35 and feel incredibly broody for a 3rd child. Is this my body calling out for its last chance. Will this feeling pass? My husband is not in agreement for a 3rd 😢

I'm guessing it passed for people who stuck at 2, and didn't for people who went onto to have more.

Im probably gonna get jumped on for this but if you really want a third and you know you’ll manage fine mess up the contraception and have an “accident”

It always alarms me slightly when people think their 30's is their last chance 😂 tbh though you need to work on your DH because there will be a lot of resentment if he genuinely doesn't want another and it's not really fair

Sorry I meant 'mid 30's'

Haha! Well we use the pull out method and natural cycles. The only time I've gotten pregnant from this is when we have tried to. X

I think it's because the NHS class you as a geriatric high risk pregnancy after 35. X

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant with a child in this exact circumstance. DH came around after about six months of discussion even though I was the one who wanted it more and luckily it only took us four cycles to conceive.

Geriatric, yes, but not "high risk" as such. You've got plenty of time, need to figure out with your DH what you both want!

Then you’ll have to lie about when your cycle is, have sex when you’re ovulating and tie your legs around him at the right time

Can't believe you posted this as I am in the exact same situation... 35 and broody for a 3rd! Logic tells me to stop at 2, but my hormones are crazy for #3. I'm planning on waiting it out and hoping it subsides...

Haha! I just can't imagine never being pregnant again or having those newborn snuggles. How old are your 2? Mine are 6 and 18 months xx

@guessmyage11 my girls are nearly 3 and 13 months! Just stopped breastfeeding and think that's also contributing to the broodiness because I can't imagine not being Preg/giving birth/breastfeeding again (even though I did NOT like being pregnant lol). It's bizarre! Logically I don't think I want a 3rd but this feeling is very overpowering. It doesn't help that my OH is entertaining the idea of #3. I am going to give it some time and see how I feel in 6 months or so!

This was me a few years ago. As soon as my second was born I knew I wanted a third (I had always wanted three but was slightly more open to only two when pregnant as I get so ill!). My OH was not keen. Two years of me trying to shake it and I couldn’t. After a lot of discussion and some augments if I’m honest, my OH came to the conclusion that although he’s content with two and doesn’t feel the need for mores if it’s that important to me then he is happy to try. We’ve just had our first cycle, sadly unsuccessful, and our on to month two of trying. I’m 38.

Change of username! I'm the OP. Sooo, after months of discussion my husband has came around to the idea. We've had sex the past 2 days with no pull out and I'm in my fertile period so time will tell lol!

@Applesandcake how are you getting on?
