Feeling really broody.. must be mad..

Ever since the birth of DC3 in July 07, I have felt broody. All the way through the pg I was saying this is defo my last. No I am not too sure.
I see new borns and pg women and I feel very envious... esp now ds2 is starting to move around more and growing very fast.
Whilst pg dh and i even went to docs about him having hte snip.. but out here they have to wait 6 months to make sure they are certain. His 6 months was up oct, but because of courses excersises etc he hasnt had time to go. I am so broody, but I do believ that if he has the snip i wont be that bothered as the choice is gone. Its just while i have the choice.
Sex is a nightmare as we both hate using condoms, and I cant take any contraceptives.. so it is the withdrawral method.. (if we remember or things dont get to heated.). Everymonth now I am panicing.. but secretly hoping!, that I will be pg. Panicing more on the money side of things as it will mean we defo need to buy a bigger car.
Dh is also away alot.. so it will be very hard with 4 on my own, but I know I would manage because I have to. (dd 11years, ds1 3years ds2 6 months)

We had our last slip up last week so now I am waiting my period round about the 8th feb.. (which happens to be the date dh goes away for 6 months!!)

Don't really know why I am writing this just want to get it of my chest I suppose. My rl friends would be "no k dont do it.. we have just got you back.." meaning I am able to go out with them again. Also we are planning a girlie hol in sept to Cyprus for a week. (But they are big girls and could go without me)

Dh is going for the snip when he gets back. SO really ifnothing has happened now, then he has about 2weeks when he gets back then it will be no more babies for us.

Sorry for rabbiting on.. just really needed to write it down.

Hi, i am afraid i will not be much help other than to say i really feel for you - i feel the same although i do not have an immenant snip hanging over my head - if i did i think i would be going for it.
My dc4 was born August 07, and i also have dd6, ds5 and dd2, so all still young - but all i can think about is dc5 - i think it is because i am so enoying my baby taht i dont want it to end.
I have told myself no sneaky business or nagging until i have done teacher training and i am earning and we have moved to a 4/5 bed house - then dh cant complain too much - this will be 3/4 years. But this makes me want one even more. I have planned nams and everything.
Do you think it could just be your hormones? Maybe if youu still feel the same you need to have aserious discussion with your dh in 6 months time! - would he ever come around to dc4?

Thank you.. tbh i think if we had the money then yes he would have number 4.. even though you always make the money go that bit further when need be.. It is mainly the car issue..like you i am so enjoying the ababy at the mo (a month older than yours) he is growing up to fast..
i think i wil leave it to fate rather than saying yes or no at the moment.. if I fall before the snip then fine if not then we will be fine too, as i said in the ealrier post once the decision has been taken away from me I will be ok. There are always plenty of people looking for baby sitters for there babies..atleast that way i can give them back..lol..
