My broodiness has got up and left! It's been constantly with me since Amelia was a couple of weeks old and now it's just gone. I look at little tiny babies I see out at the shops and think "awww they're adorable and edible and I'd love a cuddle" but then I follow it up with "I'm just glad I could give them back"

Anyone else had their broodiness get up and go?

Yep, when Dexter was about 3 weeks old and his reflux grabbed him

Yep me.

I was so broody after having ellie was determined I could fit another one in. But not now, not sure when it went but it's gone for sure.

Lisa, yours will return once you stop having such a great time dating and having fun. Once you decide on a mr right those lovely broody feelings will return xx

I'm glad I'm not the only one and that you think it'll come back.

I'm not dating at the moment Penny. I've had a few weeks off. x

I get broody now and then, but i know deep down when the time is right for another its right.

Sorry lisa, I must have missed your update when I was on hols xx

It's ok hun, I haven't updated anyone. x

Mine left a few weeks ago

Honestly I was looking at Caitlin laughing & playing chatting away and though 'oh my you are so cute.' I nearly felt guilty feeling like this but it was almost like it clicked that she was perfect and learning so much atm I felt I had so much to teach her/fun to get from spending 1-1 time with her. Had I not already been 20 weeks pg I honestly think if id been thinking about ttc I would have decided to wait a year.

Too late now but! Maybe I only felt like that because I am pg. A fear/motherly guilt type reaction.

I agree, I think your broodiness will come back when the time is right!!!

I think I have all your broodiness, it's driving me mad! Especially as I work around newborns, I can't escape from it x

Gosh I think I must be a bit weird as I haven't been broody since having Bethany, yes, when I've held babies, I've thought how lovely it was and it brought back all my memories of when Bethany was a new born but I haven't had the longing for another baby x

mine has!!


i have occassional 'omg i so want another one' moments, but it's more tht i miss being pregnant.

i look at babies now and think 'awww' but that's it, no big urge to have my own anymore

never thought i'd see the day!

im suffering from a short bout of it at the moment, inbetween wanting to sell the two i have x

Im majorly broody at the minute and Alyssa is just coming up 3 months old lol! Ask me again in a month or so when im playing single Mummy for 4 months and it might be a totally different answer lol!!

Kenty I never thought I'd see the day either

I was always mega broody then apart from a few brief moments had not been at all broody for nearly 2 years! It has now returned with a vengance. All my friends are about to drop at the moment so i fear it is going to get worse.



I think yours will return once you meet someone who's right for you. You are probably enjoying your freedom at the moment x x x

i've been broody since lucas was born and i'm so lucky he is such a contented baby that he just makes the broodiness worse, but we ttc so who knows

I think feelings of broodiness are stronger in the first few months after a baby is born, must be the hormones.



Clare it's nice to hear that there are contented babies out there. I would like to order one if we are lucky enough to have a third!



x x x

It will return hun. You have had a manic year so its probably all of that which has made it go away for a bit.



Im sure that mine is going to be gone for good as soon as No. 3 is born - I had better not get broody again! Im not having more! (although everybody keeps telling me I can squeeze one more in... its not happening!)

I go through stages of being really broody then nothing can see a cute baby and think aww how cute but nothing else x

hmm my broodiness has settled down for now, mostly because i cannot believe that at the moment i could physically cope with having another child as well as a toddler!!! i barely manage to have a pee (and even then elijah is there) nevermind have another baby, maybe it is like the others say, the time just isn't right

Mari my broodiness left again after Caitlin was about 13/14 mths. Trust me it returns at about 18 months!

Hmm mine only appeared briefly before Jamie was conceived and then very briefly since he was born. Can't have another anyway unless we ever manage to actually sell our flat

Had 1 bout of it when awen was 2 weeks old. Luckily i cant do owt about it anymore and its deffo worn off. Like suse reflux has played a part in that! But im not the worlds broodiest person anyway so hopefully its not gonna bother coming back

I'm already feeling broody for the next one I'm hoping that when this one arrives and reality kicks in it'll calm down again or I'm doomed!

after i had leo i was broody for the 1st year, then it just went and came back when he was about 3 lol...i wish my broodyness would get up and piss off x
