Anyone really broody before there wedding

I am feeling slightly broody now but it comes and goes. It depends on how well behaved my boys are! Lol!

Nothing wrong with researching pregnancy and baby stuff, it's always good to be a little prepared. ?

I am not exactly broody yet, but there are 4 close family members all pregnant at the moment and due around the same time.

They are older than me and I don't really think that we are ready, but having a lot of pregnant people around me certainly makes me think about it more.

I try not to mention it too much to OH too though, as I don't want to make him fed up of babies before we are even thinking of them.

We both want to wait a year or two after marriage so that we can have some fun, but I think the closer it comes, the more I will want them. Which is weird as I have never liked or wanted children before at all, until now.

Yea i am but have to wait a yr or 2 yet.. i just keep thinking i wouldnt fit in my dress lol

Come look after my teething 5 month old for a few hours. Your desire for a baby will disappear. ?

Looking at pregnancy/baby stuff isn't hurting, I did that before I was pregnant, making "wish lists" etc.

At first we wanted to wait a year until we started TTC but the nearer it gets we have discussed starting on honeymoon lol....i def dont want to make my h2b sick of baby stuff before even trying which is why im trying not to talk about it...but i dont have anyone else to talk about it too

its got worse as my friend has just had a baby but im scared im going to go crazy wanting a baby lol...still have 9 months till the wedding day....i know im wishing my life away but i want it to hurry up....i have always been this impatient haha

Yes- my OH!!

I'm a smoker currently and we have both agreed we don't want to have a baby whilst I'm smoking (obvious reasons) so I'm quitting the day we go on honeymoon and I have agreed from this point we'll just see what happens- I go on and off the broodyness I would like a child but not too sure about the whole pregnancy part

I'm sooo broody just now and i already have a baby (well a toddler). We had always said we'd have another one in the future but since getting engaged in September we have agreed we will start trying again after the wedding. So now that i know we're definitely having another baby i cant get it out my head, i was actually counting in my head the other day how long id have to lose weight before the wedding and what age the baby would be if i fell pregnant now lol! I'm so broody but know that im going to have to wait till after the wedding x

Wow im so happy someone feels the same....yes the fact i now know we will start trying after the wedding i cant think of anything else......i know it seems ages until my wedding and i cant stand being this broody this early....kind of wish we never spoke about it really,,,lol...but in the same way im glad we have as it is nice to know your on the same path.

Thanks everyone for your comments they are helping

Im in the same situationas you happy apples

I still have a whole year and 9 months to wait lol! By the time i get married you'll probably have a little bundle in your arms ? Oops, dont think i'm really helping here am i? haha

Just over 10 months to go then we can start trying lol hurry

Haha yeah totally but my OH had lots of questions about our future kids school tonight so clearly he is broody too!!! Worse than me!!!

We have only been married 10 days and i'm deffo feeling broody after it?

We've decided we're going to try after coming back from Honeymoon as I'm a bit scared of having issues after removing the coil. So we'll be at it like rabbits after New Years next year!!!

I was seriously broody at the beginning of the year and was constantly research baby stuff etc but after we got engaged I just decided that if we wanted to get married any time soon then we couldn't afford to get pregnant. Planning the wedding has totally taken my mind off it for now though, I think we will start trying straight after the wedding though.

Have you got much left to organise for your wedding Juppy?

I'm glad Carmen probably won't see this... but I've been broody before our wedding and still are now (on our honeymoon).

I really don't know how a child would fit in with out lifestyle, but I do love kids, and have 2 from my previous marriage. Carmen would make a great mum, but I really need to have the baby chat with her (I think she's also broody.. but we're so busy!)

Probably shouldn't post on our honeymoon, but she's currently posting on Facebook ;-) lol

Your are so broody, why not advance your wedding.

Ive been feeling like this for about 18 months now and we officialy started TTC in March this year as neither of us wanted to wait any longer.

Im so glad we started when we did as i had no idea how long it takes to get contraceptives out of your body or how long it can take to start ovulating regularly again!

Id say that if you want to TTC to stop taking your pill etc about 3-6 months before hand!

I'm definitely broody. But with the wedding and buying our house, and I've got a bit of personal debt (though it's not that much), it's going to be at least a couple of years before we can start to think about having children

I think 2014 will be my year to have a baby.

Well for us its mainly money issues that would stop us from advancing the wedding, plus im not desperate to have a baby, i think theres a big difference in being extremely broody and being desperate to have a baby. The timings are perfect for us the way we've planned it, our little boy will just be going into school (thats if we are lucky enough to fall pregnant within 4 months like last time) Means i can enjoy my time with my little boy now and then have more time to devote to my new baby. As other people have said, its just the knowing that we will definitely be having another one makes me think about it all the time!

.

I am, very much so. But with just about 9 months until the wedding, now is definitely not the right time!

I've got 2 more packs of the pill left in this prescription, then I'm going to come off it. I've heard various bits of advice to say that you're better off not coming off it until you're ready to try, but having been on it for almost 13 years, I want to give myself a chance to get used to my cycles etc before we start trying. I'd like to start on our honeymoon, but I'm hoping that I can be fairly relaxed about the whole thing and not charting or plotting dates, at least for the first few months.

I was really broody in the months leading up to the wedding because I was working in a children's center doing baby groups, and we'd discussed trying on honeymoon and in the months after, but I got a new job in the summer so would need to be there at least a year to get any maternity pay plus we'd like to have 18 months or so to go on a couple of holidays and spend some time together, so...we got a puppy!! He's ace and taking my mind right off having a baby just now. Sounds silly but its worked for now. Obviously we have the responsibility of him now, but we have lots of friends and family who are happy to puppy sit so we can still do some of the things we wanted to.

OH and I discussed having kids, and we've decided that we're going on Honeymoon next Summer. We can stop trying not to around that time.

So although i feel broody from time to time, i know i'm not that far from being able to consider it a real possibility!

I am and would be keen to start trying right after the wedding (New Year's Eve) but there's a big reason why we won't - OH lives in a different city, we only see each other at weekends and I don't want to be either pregnant or have a baby in that situation. He's trying to get a job closer to where I am but I fear it will take a while.

I think OH is permanently broody. Mine comes and goes. I go from real extremes, thinking after the wedding we will start trying, to then thinking oh my god that is terrifying no way. When broodiness comes along the surefire way to switch it off is thinking about what the state of our finances will be after all the payments for the wedding!

I could have written your post myself!! I'm so broody! We get married in five months, honeymoon in August....then I'm hoping we can start trying! I'm trying to enjoy the here and now, and take in all the excitement for the wedding, but what I'm truly excited about is being a wife and starting a family! My OH wants children though is in no hurry, he wants to wait till a year after the wedding so we can do Vegas for my 30th (something we always said we'd do). I find myself looking on baby websites and thinking of baby names, I'm sure the next 9 months will fly by for you, though I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!!

yes just little bits to organise now like cake flowers invitations....think thats why ive moved on to the babies haha....but i may just need to get stuck into the planning more

but im currently on the implant and keep wanting to suggest to h2b that i want it removed 3 months before wedding and use condoms so that my cycle gets back to normal near the wedding, as it can take a while to get your cycle back to normal after the implant as ive prettly much stopped having them whilst on implant.

so im getting obsessed with that part too.

at the moment i convinced him having implant out a month before the wedding but ideally i want it out earlier giving my body a chance to get back to normal and have it out of system....hope he will agree when i finally ask him haha xx

Yes my wedding just over 9 months too and it defo isnt the time to start TTC yet.....but ive tried talking with my H2b and he def wont move the wedding any earlier...but i just keep worrying its going to take ages for us to get pregnant

i would much prefer to be more relaxed about the whole thing and defo dont wanna be charting etc

Hello HappyAnnie

thats what it is for me....it used to be all about the wonderful wedding we have planned but now i just cant wait to be a wife and mother....we first agreed to wait a year after the wedding but now we have talked and tru=ying on our honeymoon

I'm going to broach the subject of trying sooner nearer the honeymoon.....perfect time to get trying whilst we're away!! Being around our 4 month old niece is helping my cause as my OH just adores her! ? Good luck with it all, I suppose it's a good thing we're thinking more to married life beyond the big day!

ME ME ME!!!

Haha.. and my other half. I thought we would probably wait a year or so but if it is up to OH we will be trying on our wedding night! (ha yeah right!) But then my brother gets married 4 months after us and Id like to be able to have a good old knees up and enjoy myself... Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

You are defo not alone Juppy2b! Cannot wait and so so so impatient..! x

im soooooo impatient too i always have been........but i really cannot wait to be a wife and mother x
