One of my friends has just announced she is pg and my other friend is 30wks pg and my other friend is ttc (she's been trying for 2yrs since her LO was born with no luck as yet )

They are all really close friends and I am driving myself mad with the broodyness

I thought i'd got past it, but it just seems to have come back with a vengeance at the moment. I was sat this morning having a cuddle with my little guy and I do love that its just me, OH and Oliver. I do want another one but keep saying in a couple of years when things settle down a bit, finances etc.

But after hearing my friends news my gut is wrenching with jealousy I am reeeeally happy for her as last year she suffered with an ectopic pregnancy, so this is just fab news that she is pg.


Does anyone else feel like this even though you aren't ttc?

Bizarrely no..I say bizarre cos I do actually want another and would try now if Dan said yes...but I just don't get broody...I've never had those feelings even though I really want another...odd!

Lol tbh once i started feeling like that we just tried again. Do you think things will be better for def in a few years? We decided we just couldnt let finances factor in too much or we'd never have any more lol. If you still feel like this in a few weeks its more than a phase and might be worth revisiting id say hon

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt like that from when Libby was about 9 months old, TBH it got worse and worse and when Simon kept saying he didn't want anymore I was absolutely gutted (to the point where if I thought about it I would end up in tears, I would see pregnant ladies in the street and be so jealous etc.) xx

much as i hate to admit it...i feel like this ALOT...i really have no reason to as i have two gorgeous little ones and i have no chance of ttc anytime soon and even though i'd accepted that fact and dealt with it i can't stop being jealous and broody

It keeps coming and going though. I am honestly happy with the situ as it is. I was mega broody for the 1st year after Moo was born but that seemed to pass. But this feeling keeps rearing its ugly head, but then going soon after

But am I truely broody? Would I feel like this if all my close friends weren't pg or ttc? am not sure .

OH hasn't said a definitive no, but he hasn't said a definite yes either

I felt like this for years hun, right up until having Sam. Even now sometimes i still get a bit broody but would never do anything about it now. But i do know exactly how you feel. xxx

It seems to have got worse since having Moo, I was broody before hence ttc..but its 10x's worse now.

im like it! my best friend has just found out shes pg and she has only been tryin a month! im so jealous and blooming broody its unreal

im always broody and miss being pregnant and actually fell jealous of people giving birth ..that euphoric feeling of meeting you r baby for the first time ..i yern for but im being sterilized in december as i just dont think my body could cope with another.. and the oh is a dead set no for anymore.. the more older my children get the more i want another

but its never going to be x

Aww, Emma . I was just saying to OH this morning how I actually LOVED the whole giving birth bit, even with the whole pain and everything it was so worth every minute the moment I held Moo for the first time.

Char, do you think you'll have anymore?

well i had my coil taken out this morning and not guna use anythin apart from his lil mans cover! so we are just letting nature take its course

I so share that feeling Zee, but I'm ttc so I don't really count

Aw thats lovely. Im hoping this time round i actually get to hold my bubba before anyone else does as i was too sick and dizzy with c and neil held her first. Im actually putting that in my birth plan!

even just now thinking of that feeling given birth makes me want to cry as i know im never goign to experience it again

but i have to be fair to my body and mind and i cant pysically do it no more x

Im stopping after this one mostly cos of money but also cos i suck at being pg lol. If i wasnt so crap at it i might consider a 3rd cos i do love being a mummy

i have a picture of the very first moment that i saw my babys and when i look back at that moment its magical.. xx i hope you do get what you want mario xx

Aww, Emma..am so sorry for upsetting you

Soon as all the broodiness started we decided to ttc for baby number 2, oh couldnt wait he was broody before me. But just think you have it all to come when you do start ttc so its somethink to look forward to

i feel like that loads at the moment, but with a 4 month old, it really isnt the time!

no your not upsetting me at all.. its a decision i have made and for the right reasons xxxx

Good luck Char , ya know - with nature and all that

Mario - I do hope everything goes to plan this time. Has your pregnancy this time been the same as with C then? Has the sickness stopped now?

Piglet- I really am hoping it happens soon for you

Hey Zee. No seems different this time i think its a boy. Sickness still there though been milder last couple of weeks but have lost a stone in weight so far.

Ooo, Are you finding out?

A stone in weight well at least when the sickness has gone you can take full advantage of the 'eating for two' thing

I had a dream that an (annoying) acquaintance of mine was pregnant - all blooming, neat bump etc. and just that irked me for some reason - and i AM pregnant?! - I have no idea what that was, think it says more about what a numpty I think they are really. Know what you mean about bump / ttc / new baby envy though - had it prior to bean and prior to being pregnant now!
We've already given thought to whether no.3 is even a possibility - it's so hard to see myself never being pregnant again but with the awful sickness then the spd taking over, then birth itself (please God let it be easier this time!) I really don't know if it's fair on us all. Plus the practical and financial side - bigger car, bigger house etc etc. I digress.
If you're not sure make a list - things that would sway you either way or timescales etc. - at the very least then it's not swimming round and round in your head. X
