How long before you got broody again?

I asked my H whilst being stitched after L's labour if we could have another one!  Think taht was the gas and air talking though!

I have been broody for months now.  I get all gooey when I see tiny babes and also a bit envious of pregnant friends as I find it all so exciting.

I was on crutches for the last 20 weeks of my pregnancy due to SPD and in a lot of pain.  I wouldn't want L to miss out on his mummy as I would not be able to run round after him like I do now.  He is 13 months and definately not a baby anymore.  He has just learnt to run and is a proper lovely little toddler now.  I want to make the most of him for a bit. 

His name is down for a pre-school so we will probably try and have a 3 year age gap.

After I had J, I started getting broody about 3 weeks after he was born.  After a while it went away but came back again when he was 1.5 - 2yrs and when he was 2 yrs 2 months, I found out I was pg with N.

After N, I have to say it was about 3/4 mths until I started feeling broody.  I think that was due to his birth being quite painful and off putting.  He's almost 9mths now and I so desperately want another.

If I'm being realistic, we'd need to wait until the sometime next year before TTC #3 (so the baby was born in 2012) as we'll be much better off by then.

It's really hard when you want to try for a baby/another baby.  The next year will race by and you'll be TTC before you know it.

We have been broody ever since we got married 6 years ago, but sadly even though we have fallen pregnant four times since 2007, we have lost each baby, 3 pregnancies ended in miscarriage and the fourth pregnancy ended in an ectopic pregnancy along with the removal of my right fallopian tube.  We would dearly love to have a baby of our own, but it doesn't ever seem like it is going to happen.

For me, it's when they are just moving out of that tiny newborn phase.  I remember when George was born in Eastenders it made me really broody and I had a baby asleep in her basket next to me!  She could have only been 2 or 3 months old!

As they get older I get less broody.  When we decided to ttc #2 it was more a head decision than heart.  When she was tiny I was desperate for a third...now I'm not so sure

so sorry xx

I got broody properly when O was about 17-18 months. He was going through such a lovely phase so lulled us into a false sense of security! He is going to be 27 months when this one arrives, hopefully any day now!

Deedee - Thank you.  We are slowly coming to terms with what has happened to us, but it has been a difficult road to travel on.  We are currently looking at other options open to us. 

Hope you find something that works for you very soon mrslf

We hoping to ttc at the end of this year, I'm starting to get broody again, but hope I'm mega broody by then!

Handbag - Thank you. We are looking down different avenues, but all the time hoping and praying that we fall naturally and that this time it will stick around.  I have PCOS which doesn't help.

With my first I starting getting broody when she was 18 months old.

With my second an hour after I had him I remember saying to my husband that I wanted to do it all again despite only wanting 2 originally.

I have been really really broody since he turned 1 - he is now 3 and I cannot wait to start ttc for number 3 as I am that broody.
