broody, no partner, and getting on a bit, and had bad spd last time.

[piratecat]

thats it really, I just feel extremely sad that my time is running out, and that even if I had a relationship, I wouldn't be able to have a pregnancy without severe pain. Ongoing pain at that.

Actually the pain, tho it was awful, was made worse by the fact i couldnt really walk, bend, function up until about 3 yrs after I had dd.

Its just sometimes, I feel very broody. I feel for my dd who I would love to have a sibling.

I just ache soemtimes to want to feel another life in my belly.

Dont know what to say really. I just had the one and its too late now but would have loved another if I'd found a decent partner earlier.

If another one is out of the question, just think of the pros to your DD as an only, much loved child of a doting mum

i kknow eve. I am totally lucky to have my dd, and she is wonderful.

As time has passed since dh left, friends I have that are with thier dh's have gone on to have more. I just feel a bit down sometimes on what me and dd have missed out on, the whole family thing.

I guess I just expected the norm to happen, you know have at least another one.

Its the holidays, and I just see the next 2 weeks stretching out b4 us, and I know dd gets bored with me!!!

Broody is very powerful tho isn't it.

Is fostering an option?

I am not sure, I want that. It's that feeling of being pg that I want ( I think pmsl).

I have thought about it tho, yet my circs are not brill. I am unemployed etc.

adoption ?( i know you said your circumstances are not brill, but can you not look for full time employement?)

I've never felt broody, never had time between pregnancies. It is the loveliest thing to be growing a baby, planning its arrival and buying all the tiny clothes and nappies though, isn't it? Don't know if I would trust myself to find somebody decent enough to be the father though, and that would put me off. Knowing me, I'd rope in another twat sperm-donor type, rather than a 'dad'.
Is it too long to wait to become a grandma?

Oh, of course it is, your little girl's at school. I'm being 3am stupid again. Sorry.

no probs!

I must remember the reality, the sleepless nights, the sleepless nights etc!!!

I sometimes feel the same, piratecat.

I'm 30 next week and a single mum with one son, aged 9.

I would so love to meet someone, settle down and have more children. Sadly, I don't see it happening.

I feel so guilty that my son's missing out - not having a sibling and enjoying family life.

yes, guilt is the word I would use to describe most of this parenting lark, well when I feel low anyway. I feel that dd is missing out, despite people saying, yes but she has you, you give her enough love etc...

She was meant to have a dad too tho. I suffered enough when i was little and my dad worked abraod all my life, but at least I was only mising him and there was a good explanation. There is no explanation for my dd having a dad till she was 3 then him dropping her out of his life.

I digress!!
