Broodiness

[ZingyRoseJoker]

Help…. i have 3 DD 12,9 and 4 and we have 2 dogs. I work full time and my husband is night shift. My SIL has just had her second DD and i’m really struggling with the fact that i no longer have a baby anymore, after having my last i was fine for such a long time but over the last few months and having a pregnancy scare i can’t stop thinking about having another. Whilst i know it’s not practical given we live in a 3 bedroom house and finances how do i get over this, it’s making me miserable! I love my girls and i am fulfilled by them so why do i feel that i need another?

Probably just those people old hormones making you doubt yourself. If you did have another there’s nothing to say the brood Iness would stop. You could get PG, have a baby and still feel exactly the same in a couple of years.

It sounds as though you have a nice family set up. It won’t be long until you can start to give the eldest some baby sitting responsibilities and have a bit more time for you and your DH.

As hard as dealing with broodiness is, i would try and concentrate on the positives of your family set up as it is.

I was broody for a long time, now i dont regret stopping at all. The teen years wirh the youngest were a little full on and I’m not sure how we copes. I don’t think we would have with obe or two more DC.

Plus I’ve met so many Women who devised to gave one more baby and ended up with DTs. How would you be if you went from a family of 5 to a family of 7?
