Well i think im going mad my hormones must be in overdrive, it seems that now my little boy has hit 18 months and is not so dependant on me as much i seem to be broody. Has anyone been in this situation? My husband would like us to try after our holiday which is in june but i cant stop thinking about it and june seems years away everyone seems to be pregnant around me its driving me mad. I keep thinking well if i come of my pill now it may take me a few months to get caught but then again it could be straight away, do i risk it or not i cant imagine being on my hols and not having a drink !!! What do i do

I havent started taking them yet as i have a broken leg so i am taking calcuim supplements for the break and i dont want to do with the pre natel ones just in case i take to many.

My ds is just turned 3 in jan, he is being our page boy at the wedding and we are leaving him with my parent to go to kuredu in maldives, i cant wait.

nemo1977 I think its when you know your baby is growing up, pleased you have 2 lovely little ones is it hard work or are you coping ok ? I sometimes wonder if it is easier second time round because you have done it already there is nothing worse than that shock of a newborn

laughalot [whispers] its been surprisingly easy!!! People think I am loopy when I say that but it has been a lot less of a shock to the system for me plus DS is really good so means I dont have a screaming toddler 95% of the time..lol

ooo lol lots of luck to you!!!

Do it quickly before your 18 month old hits his terrible twos and you change your mind! I have an exactly 2 year gap, DS1 is now 2.5 and I sometimes wonder whether 1 might have been enough... although DS2 is a doddle of a baby, thank god!
