Feeling Broody!!!

Mmmmmmmmmmm - have started staring at babies - joining my partner ( who would love to be a dad)in the looking like a looney stakes - just would be worst timing in the world to get pregnant but would love to feel the little arms and legs and all round lovely pregnant feeling again.

Is it usual to feel like this for some of the month and for the rest of it to absolutley hate the thought of being pregnant?

ery irresponsible to feel like this given the state of my life at the moment - I know!!
Sometimes I sit and watch all those lovely programmes on Discovery Health and cry because I want a baby so so much.

Did he have one? I always forget the name of the beefcake, was it Bluto or Pluto?

ThomCat · 02/09/2003 15:29

Me too!
Watched Jack and Sarah last night and that added fuel to the fire, such a sweet little baby.
Won't be going for it for a year or 2 yet, but can't wait to be pregnant again and have more babies, hmmmmm, lovely!!!

Jack and Sarah made me broody too - and I am done breeding or maybe

That baby is soooo cute....

aloha · 02/09/2003 17:21

It made me very broody for a big house with giant basement kitchen in Notting Hill
Quite like Richard E Grant too.

ThomCat · 02/09/2003 17:27

ditto that aloha!

I'm another broody mum with an under-one (and a nearly 4). 11-month-old dd is not particularly easy: cried ceaselessly for first 5 months of life until the day solids were introduced, needing a (breast)feed every 3 hours night and day (despite Gina Ford routine). Plus I'm not big on babies and toddlers (I prefer them older). And both pregnancies started out with 20 wks of nasty morning sickness. But I have such nostalgia for pregnancy, and can't imagine ever wanting to say "no more" despite wanting my life back at the same time. It's a tricky mess of contradictions but I am undeniably broody.

Hi
I'm 10 weeks pregnant and feeling awful... the last 4 weeks have been like this and judging by last time (ds is 21 months old) this could go on for another 5 weeks. Sooooo, while I really want this baby, especially for ds, I hope that after he/she is here I never ever feel broody again, because it is very hard feeling like this when trying to look after ds (also I feel guilty that I have not been providing the same level of care for him as usual) and dh is not always very sympathetic about it so I have been a little depressed as well. Plus baby no. 2 will be born (don't want to tempt fate here by talking about it, could still miscarry!) when I am 35 so after that I would like to concentrate on my two and also myself! I forgot what morning sickness was like after ds but I really hope I don't forget this time because I hate it... the fatigue is awful too.
There, hope I don't sound like a killjoy.

How weird is that! I call my dd sweetpea sometimes!! Now how to suggest it as a name proper to dh (aka popeye).

Boe · 03/09/2003 12:58

Just had a complete moan at DP - he booked a golf game for Friday when he is supposed to be looking after DD - then had rto apologise and told him I am feeling ultra broody this month - please someone lend me their baby!! - think he is up for starting ASAP - shame life is so shitty at the mo or would have raced home to him.

Sat up in depressed state of my life till 1am this morning watchjing the multiple births on Discovery Health - I just want one though - one lady had 6, sure she could have given me one and not missed it!! Although actually think it is being big and fat and pregnant that I want.

Sorry - am gonna go and wash my face - I am starting to sound like the sort of mother who snatches kids from supermarkets.

arabella--glad you posted. Was good to reminded of the downside.

Am still broody.

Thansk Expatkat - the bit about the nostalgia for pregnancy and having to say 'no more' is just how i feel. Maybe its being pregnant and the special attention.
DD2 is approaching the age the DD1 was when i became pregnant again, so i feel a bit of 'what if'.
We have two lovely wee girls and feel very lucky but at the same time there is a little voice willing me to have another. And DH who up to now was the voice of commonsense on the matter, yesterday said he wanted another too (in a joky sort of way......) I am nearly 40 so i do feel that it would be now or never. What i would really like is a gap of a few years and then the afterthought (as i was) but i know that this is not possible at my age.

Will this wear off?
