Feeling broody is OK, but clingy as well? Anyone else felt like this.

Am looking for reassurance / experiences of those who have been there, done that. I hit 28 and the hormones kicked in, definitely feel broody, which is fine, am honestly happy to wait for a couple of years until dh is in the same boat . At the same time, I've found myself being much more clingy to him, worrying when I can't get hold of him and feeling that the world is more of a bad place than I did before (why is the news always filled with depressing stuff etc.?) ALso feel like I have less control over bad things happening.

Are these feelings part of being broody, cos they're confusing the hell out of me. I used to kick a**!

Doesn't sound like you are broody to me...sounds as though maybe you are more aware of your surroundings now and maybe are thinking about future children and the fact that life isn't as rosy as we want it to be. Maybe you would like kids one day and you are thinking about the impact the world will have on them iykwim...

I only felt like this once dd was born. When London was bombed 7/7 dd was 2 months old and I remember thinking and saying to her how horrible this world is getting. I felt like I wanted to protect her and hated the fact that somethings I can't stop.

You may be on a downer at the moment..???
