To have another baby, or to wait, help !

hi, i don't even know the point in posting this, but just to get it out really.

my dd is 16 months, and I love her to bits, however when it's me, dd and dp I feel something is missing, like I should have another baby in my arms whilst dp and dd play, i should be holding a baby and feeding them, I feel this emptiness a lot of the time, for example dd has started walking but we also take her pram out and it just feels like another baby should be in the pram, I feel like our family is missing another little person.

I've applied for university next year, I'm hoping to move out of the current property I live in for various reasons and wouldn't want to move a newborn into where I live now but I am finding it so so hard to wait to have another baby. Dp is fine with having another baby, he wants a son to be honest as we were told our dd was boy  but I know according to my plan we should wait until I'm at least half way through my first year at uni and we have moved.

Mine and dps best friend and his girlfriend have just told us their pregnant and although I'm happy I'm so jealous as well, i find myself flicking through newborn clothes, and when I see anything baby related it makes me so sad as I know I'm not having one yet, but the need for another one is there, can anyone help me postpone my broodiness or do you think I should just go for it  someone help me ! This has been going on for months and I'm driving myself insane. Also I am on the pill as I've been sticking to my plan of waiting but it just feels as thought it's getting harder and harder

Have you posted before on another thread? Fwiw I think you should wait. Uni is tough enough without two young children. Children deserve your attention which - if you want a good degree - you may not be able to give. Or the alternative is to complete your family now and postpone your degree.

No real advice, just sympathy as it is so hard to wait when all you want is a baby xxx
