Hi Lise,

Phew! I thought it was just me, but these past few days I have really, really started to want another baby. I have always wanted 4, but after the pregancy from hell with Rebecca we both decided that 2 was enough. I can't make sense of where these feelings have come from as Rebecca is very hardwork.

Like you, you'd have thought that nearly 7 tears of ttc, 5 m/cs, 20 months of unexplained infertility plus Rebecca's pregnancy which was anything but easy - 13 weeks of progesterone, 36 weeks (which turned into 2 days post delivery) of injections, PE / a month of being in hospital and an emergency c-section to round it all off nicely would have put me off, but apparently not.

However, for me, I do think that it's the hope of next time being more straight forward, getting the pregnancy / labour I had so hoped for (I wanted a home birth) when in my heart I know there are no guarantees, I'd probably have PE again and my placenta has done badly in both of my sucessful pregnancies so I may not be so lucky next time, so it would be pure madness to go there again.

I don't know, I'm blaming hormones!

Love,

Hi I'm still lurking but your post really touched me, my baby is barely six weeks old and I'm so broody it's scary.
My elder two children both have various issues and it took five years, several miscarriages and lots of heartache to have Allanah then a really horrid pregnancy and very traumatic birth were we thought we'd lost her yet I'd have another tomorrow (well nine months lol)

I've mentioned it too one or to people and they've said it's probably hormonal but deep down I know it isn't, I just want to experience a good pregnancy and a delivery where they don't tell me I have to get baby out NOW or else, I know that it might not happen but...
They only thing stopping me right now is the fact that my Dh is going to afghan in April next year and as we live in Germany I'd have to manage three children, one still very much a baby, on my own.

Glad it's not just me feeling like this. Suppose I'd better go and introduce myself lol

Hey Lisa!

I understand how you feel, as soon as I had my son all I could think about was getting pregnant again, I was broody right away. I didn't feel like that after my daughter though, enough was enough!

You never know it might wear off or you might need to have a serious dicussion with DH soon! Either way you're not mad I am sure a lot of the gals here sympathise with your broody feelings!

Take care!
