I (31F) feel intense feelings of broodiness yet I am not ready to have a baby just yet. I don't know how to overcome them, it's basically baby or getting a dog (it worked in my twenties). Help!!! 😆
Last year I had an accidental pregnancy which resulted in an early miscarriage. I was so stressed when I found out as I wasn't ready (Both me and my partner are mature students) but naturally I felt protective over the pregnancy and it made me realise it's something I definitely want, despite fears.
I'm about to finish uni, trying to concentrate is a task. All I think about is baby names and babies. Or I'm looking at puppies online. I feel so annoyed at myself for feeling like this. I have adhd/ocd and become very obsessed with one idea before moving on to the next idea, but I don't think this is a phase, as it's been ongoing for awhile.
Is it the ticking clock? My partner is 36 and he wants kids but he doesn't feel the broodiness like me. He is so chill.
We are not ready - neither of us are settled in a career and I need to find a way to get rid of this feeling so I can concentrate on myself for a bit longer before babies.
