Broodiness......

[torsie24]

mmmmm just noticed your ticker. If you want babies in 2 years time you're going to have a very busy honeymoon!

Ahahahaaaa.

I don't know if this is TMI. But there is never time for any of that in Disney!

We were so knackered and hot last trip we slept in separate beds!

I guess sleeping in separate beds might seem a bit strange on honeymoon though....

I was very late when broodiness hit me, this year at 38, I will be 39 in April, so have accepted too old now, I wish it had hit me when I was younger... Happy practicing lol

39 is not too old to have a baby! My friend has just had one and she is 41.

I'll see your 2 and raise to 3

I'll see your 3 and raise you two hormonal teenage girls

Was going to say the same Jules, but it is a very personal thing. My friend has just fallen pregnant at 40 as she had one IVF baby four years ago after ten years of trying, this time she fell pregnant naturally by accident.

Thats the age my mum was when she had me . If you really do want children you are definitely not too old! Also, looking after other peoples children just makes me want children of my own more, next to performing on stage I'm happiest when I've got a baby in my arms, weird, huh ?

I agree

I can honestly say I've never been the tiniest bit broody. Whether it's because I had the girls when I was very young (my biological clock was just a mere wristwatch) or whether it's because I just am not instincitvely a maternal person, I don't know.

What I do know, though, is that with any kind of 'obsession' (in the nicest possible way), sometimes the only answer is to indulge it. If you're happy looking at Mothercare brochures and baby sites, what harm can it do. And if your other half does catch you at it, be honest with him and tell him you're thinking about how nice it would be to start a family - just maybe enjoy your time together as a married couple a little before you rush into having babies

I've been working with kids for 5 years and I still get broody all the time I know from a practical point of view we should be more established in our careers, earning more money, have a more suitable home, be married (neither of us are bothered, but I guess it makes things easier with a child) etc but rationalising doesn't really work when it comes to your heart ruling over your head

 

[howlongtillsummer?]

I really am. I had DD after a serious bout of broodiness before I should at 23 before I had a job! Anyway - at the time I said I would have another one but laughed that I could wait ten years if I wanted to! I was joking! Anyway - 6 years temporary contracts, new job and now, significantly two consectutive annual trips to Florida... And here I am at 31!!! So not this year's holiday, but next year's will be busy!!


BTW my Mum had me at 39 and she is perfect!

OMG Jules, I don't think so babe!!!

My Nana had my father at 44 and that was in 1941 FGS!!! And last week I read Arlene Philips had her second daughter at 47 so I'm all crazy with the baby-bug the moment...

I agree, I dont think your too old, although you obviously may have very personal feelings on this, I feel bad now incase I upset anybody,when i said I was too old I meant WE are too old, its cause Len is a big bit older than me. Please girls dont think I meant 40ish is too old for babes!

 

[Muscateer]

I have never had the broodiness. I am the one that cringes seeing new babies incase the mother asks me if I want to hold it. Not very maternal at all. I dread anyone asking me to babysit.

39 isn't too old hun, Bek's boyfriends mum is pregnant again, and she's 42

I can honestly say I've never been the tiniest bit broody.

I was never broody, and I'm not a baby person either, give me a toddler who I can play silly games with any day I must confess that I can't wait to be a Nana, but I'm not in any hurry for that either

I'm the same! We have discussed babies though, as I don't want to keep putting it off and regret it later. Fortunetly we both feel the same - want to have bought a bigger house, better jobs etc before the time comes.

We have left it until were 30 to discuss properly then, gives us a couple of years to enjoy married life and hopefully get better jobs.

You're so sensible Gemma. And that's a great idea leaving it to talk about when you're 30.

I have always made it know to most people that know me from the age of about 16 that I can't wait to have kids. And so Jack has always been very aware that that's one of my main motivations for life and work.

Luckily it's his too, I'm pretty certain that had he not been 100% certain he wanted a family with me then I couldn't marry him.

It' funny though, when he says things like "Maybe we'll have a baby with us while we watch the next olympics, or in 2 christmases time" I'm like "That's a bit soon isn't it!"

There's no pleasing me!

Thanks Joh. He's very aware of my current broodiness, lol, I didn't want to not talk about it. He knows there's no way I'm getting pregnant at the monute, so he's with you on that me looking at baby stuff isn't harming anyone, and if it makes me happy then I may aswell.

Also I have learnt a lot and even helped a friend with bottle advice because I read some reviews about one she was considering! Haha.

We definitely won't be having a honeymoon baby either (I want a few months of super healthiness before we try, and one thing I won't be doing in WDW is eating and drinking healthily), so we do look forward to a year or so of nice married life. Although I don't think it'll be any different to our life now, lol.

 

[wideeyes]

I get broody all the time.. I even have my names for future children picked out however I had DD young when I was 19 so wanted some time to do some things for me like go to uni. I was very sick with DD and was in hospital most of the time so couldn't go through that with DD being small.

 

[saratogagirl]
