Do you still get a pang when friends send pictures of their tiny new babies?

[MarshaBrady]

I just received the most beautiful pictures of my friend's baby.

I have a 6 month old. I am still tired, bf'dg and it's not really possible at the moment. But it gave me that feeling of wanting another...

Does that happen to you?

oh yes, I am soo broody. dd is 6 months and a joy, but not a newborn any more...

It used to. But now my kids are getting older and I'm starting to see glimpses of a life without nappies and prams.

So when I see friends with new babies I say "aww, lovely" and ask for a cuddle. Then I hand the baby back and think "thank God that's not my responsibility"

Are you hoping to have more, at some point?

No, but I've never been one for being broody

Sort of, I get a little pang and feel sad for a nanosecond as I realise I'll never be pregnant or have a newborn again.

But then I heave a sigh of relief that I am done with the baby days!

Not any more. I held a work colleague's 8-week old baby boy last week. He was gorgeous, and smelt adorable.

But I don't want to steal him.

No, not at all. Just a feeling of huge relief that it isn't me having to go through all that again.

Maybe fruitful. I have two and I am happy.

I get a lot of pics by email as many friends are o/s.

This was the first time in a while it registered with a pang of longing!

Nope, just relief here, that the proper baby bit is all behind me, I would hate beyond belief to have to do the first year again.

Yes.

One of my neighbour's (whom I barely know) has just had a baby. I was so excited to go to Bonpoint with DD to choose a little outfit and I so hope I can borrow him babysit soon

No, not anymore. Ok, just a little bit if baby is particularly beautiful.

Very much so and mine are nearly 14 and nearly 11. I would one (or maybe 2 more but not going to
