im sooo broody!!

Nope i am. i never used to be. now its like i have a biological clock that i dindt know i had! i realy want one. OH & i have ojly been together a year & get married in June. everyone says we shouldnt rush but we both really want the same things and aremade for each other. i know it sounds soppy & fluffy...and usually i am cynical as hell. but im sure we're going to start trying soon after the wedding.

natsastar when do you get married?

Getting married on the 15th june 2013. i did have a countdown thing but its gone missing! im useless with things like that ?

me & OH have been together 7 years next month & definately feel ready. hes definately wanting a baby right now, only think putting me off is losing the weight to fit in the dress!

we have said that i will come off the pill in march/april so that we can start trying and hopefully have a brilliant 2013 with our wedding and possibly a baby included in that too ?

have you both talked about when you might like to have a baby, if not right now? when do u get married, i have a rubbish memory so dont remember if urs said! ?

Me!!!

I go through stages of being really broody and other times when i think actually i'd quite like to wait a while. At the moment it's all broodiness though and i'm really having to stop myself coming off the pill and having a baby before the wedding! OH is just as bad, he wants a baby as badly as i do and every now and then the conversation comes up about whether or not we should wait. We know it's not the right time really, trying to save for a wedding and a baby just isn't realistic but it's hard to be sensible all the time! And the worry of how long it will actually take us is always at the back of my mind too, if its going to take us a few years to conceive i don't really want that to not even start until after the wedding!

It doesn't help that i work in a Special Care Baby Unit so i'm constantly surrounded by cute little babies! Arrrrgh!

We get married 15th June this year

we're planning to come off the pil after the wedding & then it happens when it happens. we both really want a baby & we both feel ready.

that will make a very exciting 2013 for you!

I thought it was just me!!!

OH has never seemed bothered about kids but then since I became an Aunty in September he has been baby mad and I have always wanted kids and lots of them! The only thing stopping us is the money, we can't afford to save for the wedding and have a baby so we are hoping for a honeymoon conception!

My friend booked her wedding and then started trying for a baby, baby safia will be 6months at ther wedding......shes on a mish to loose the weight!!! Honeymoon babies r the best, I already have 2 7yr old girl, and a 9month old baby

boy!! so my broodiness hasnt returned funnily enough lol xxxx

I'll lend you my youngest for a bit - he'll soon change your mind ?

your EXACTLY like me! haha

i honestly thought i was the only one! im so glad im not though & other people feel the same...im not weird after all ?

i feel for you, that must be hard working there surrounded by little babies all the time. i bet it makes

we know it isnt the right time to have a baby as we know we would not be able to manage saving for a wedding, saving for a house and having a baby right now. definately going to wait, when it happens it happens ? will definately make the honeymoon even more special ?

we said we would be quite happy with twins...not sure if my theory is going to sound weird but that way we get the 2 children we want on the same day, one whole day of pain and never again haha

We know it's not the right time really, trying to save for a wedding and a baby just isn't realistic but it's hard to be sensible all the time!

Aw thank you! It's a lovely job to have, i really enjoy it How Prem were your twins? (if you don't mind me asking)

I am broody and have been for a while. We've put off trying for a few months now due to this wedding planning. I already have a three year old boy and am aware that there will be quite a gap between him and a potential new baby but this is the way it is, I couldn't have handled two babies close together I would have ended up in a home! Personally I would wait and just enjoy your time together for a while becaue once those babies come along there's no couple time ever!

Those are good weights, i was at a twin delivery on Sunday night which were 2 weeks further on than yours and they weighed slightly less than that. Glad all went well and not too many problems

.... apologies for de-railing the convo slightly ladies!

I'd love to start trying for a baby straight after the wedding but we only have a 1 bed flat so think it would be more practical to wait until we actually have space for a baby. But I became overcome with feelings of broodiness a few months ago and I'm using wedding planning to try and ignore it!

Nope not broody (until I see a newborn that is) but then I just have to think about the lack of sleep I get with my 17 month old still and I. Not broody anymore! Lol.. I have a 3 year old too, so they both keep me very busy xx

Sorry i have to agree but no don't do it!! you will only ever get one chance for a honeymoon and that time togeather! you can have a baby after the wedding, or even start trying a few months before. there still are lots of good points in waiting till after your married and a lot of legal reasons too, wouldn't you rather go to scan appointments as a mrs? and have the babys surname the same and yours?. you have a chance for your baby to be born into a family rather than being born then trying to create a family around it...you have the chance to do it the right way....take it!

I second that. My eldest was prem, and I was totally in awe, and owe my sons life to those who work in SCBU.

Must be an amazing job.

Today I had to hand my screaming one year old to a total stranger to run down a road chasing my kicking-and-screaming 3 year old who was adament he WAS NOT going to nursery. Then fight and wrestle them both up two very steep hills while they kicked me and screamed.

I am sooooooooooooooo *not* broody lol.

I will be starting a new job after the wedding, so we are going on a minimoon and then the honeymoon the following spring, where hopefully we intend to try - also because of my age then (38) so am feeling a bit broody as all my friends seem to be just pregnant, just had one or getting married, so wont be long till they do either! I also wish id done midwifery as id always wanted to then chose radiography! plank! may re train in a few years!

This is why everyone keeps asking me when I am having babies!!

I am with one of the people that swings between really broody and completely not ready - though I really would like to wait awhile to sort some things out. I find going round my mummy friends house her kids scream and put me off a little longer

I'm soooo broody I don't know whether I actually want another baby or just another year off work back in 5 weeks dreading it!

No I do want another baby it doesn't matter how many people tell you it goes so fast you don't realise how fast it does go cant believe my little girl is one in. Few weeks!

I'm really really broody at min but with wedding just under 5 months away we are going to wait.

Oh thinks it will be good to try before hand so he can announce it at the wedding just doesn't seem to understand logistics of the dress fitting, morning sickness etc but defo won't be trying til after we are married!

We have been together 5 years when we get married and have our own house do there is space for a little one lol.

Lmao! I was about to say the same thing!

Not broody at all either!!! I have a 4 year old and a 2 and a half year old! They keep me very very busy!

BTW my eldest was born at 27 weeks so 13 weeks early, 2lb 7oz, she was in nnu for 9 weeks and was in air straight away, no vent or cpap here! We owe everything we have to the nnu and have done tons of fundraising for them!!!! You do a fab job!

xxx

Im sooooo broody its annoying...i get married in 6 months and 4 days and will be trying to conceive in 6 months and 4 days haha i cant wait to be pregnant and have a baby....IMO wait until your married...also if you dont get pregnant straight away you could be pregnant on your wedding day...or be 6 months pregnant and certainly wont fit in your dress....its only a little while longer....but only you and h2b knows what is right for you two xx

good luck xx

Im not lol, but then I did have my little princess just 12 weeks ago...

any excuse to share, just a few days old

HAHA sorry if ive made you more broody

We were initially planning to get married this year but plans were postponed when we found out we were expecting baby no2. As soon as she was born the wedding plans began, for the last year i've had 'planning' to do (baby) and when the next year is over I am going to feel like my right arm has been cut off as I put down my planning lists and have nothing else to plan. LOL

We've actually been trying for almost a year and were putting off booking the wedding until after we had one. We've been checked out and there's nothing wrong so we just went ahead and set the date as we don't know how long it'll take - knowing my luck I'll get pregnant now to clash with the wedding! If that happens ill have to try and put the date back as I really don't want to be a pregnant bride mainly cos i want to drink lots of chanpers on the big day! We would have just waited but I have a 4 year old from a previous relationship and we really wanted them to be closer in age :-( its just a waiting game now!

WSS. glad they were good weighs x

couldnt help but laugh at your post. read it to the OH and he laughed too. the joys of parenthood ay? ?

i reckon we will use your theory too haha! H2B is going to love spending almost all of the honeymoon practising! ?

definately made it 100 times worse...GORGEOUS!!! X

Incredibly broody here too, but being totally practical we don't want to be due until Autumn 2013 for job / career / financial reasons, and I think the hardest thing is going to be putting of trying for the 6 months between wedding and when we can start trying! It's easy not trying now becauce neither of us would want children before marriage and definitely don't want to be pregnant at the wedding, but my god 2013 seems a long time away!!
