Broody again!! need you ladies to rank too!

Hey Ladies, I'm back!!!

After having my little girl last Feb. She is now 13 months old.. I'm sooooo broody! Me and my other half have just moved to Australia (been here for 2 months)

We currently don't have jobs (big factor needed when coming to having a baby I know) but I keep thinking how long will it take to fall pregnant and I know we will definitely have income by the time next baby arrives.

The only problem is other half keeps telling me no! I think what if it takes X amount of months to fall pregnant etc! I've always said I want a 2 year age gap

I so want another baby to the point that I cry.. Its a worse feeling than wanting my first. I see her playing with her aunty (4) and all I think is that she can have a little brother or sister to play with!

Its pulling my heart strings that I want one so bad and don't know what to do about this feeling

Am I alone on this??

Not at all! I think when you have 1, and want 2, you know how much pleasure you get from children so it makes you want it even more! I've been waiting since my boy was about 18 months and he'll be 3 at the end of May, so we're almost there! My dd is 5 now, and I was pregnant when she was 20 months, so I wasn't too broody for long! But this time has been a long hard slog!

Good luck! Where did you move to Oz from?

Oh Hun, I know exactly how you feel. My situation is slightly different as I have three children already, 17, 14 and 21 months. The broodyness feeling has been going on for months for me. I couldn't find the words to have a full blown discussion with my OH about it as he said 'No!' Point Blank, so I ended up writing a letter to him explaining how I felt. He wrote back with a host of reasons why we shouldn't and we haven't spoke about it since other than a quick jibe. However the big difference is I am 44 and he is 47 so it's pretty much the end of the line, if it's possible at all. It's not helping when most of the ladies that I met on here are now having their second/additional babies and my eldest is almost ready to go to University. My argument if you can call it that hinged on a playmate for Violet as I think it's really going to hit her when/if my sons leave home. I know it didn't work for me but maybe you could try writing a letter too? If neither of you are working though, this may be the main underlying concern of your OH. Are things financially ok for you at the moment? xxx
