Ohhhh sooooo broody!

Yep! We had a list...

1. Have lots of holidays and see the world (done quite a lot, but of course still loads more to do)
2. Pay off debts (done in 2008)
3. Get married and have massive honeymoon (done in May 2010)
4. Have a final "big" holiday (done in Sept 2010)
5. Have £X in the bank (done!)

We've been toegther 10 years this year so have done all our "couple" time. Mr GB was very broody but I wouldn't have a baby until I was married. Things happened faster than we thought and so 14 months after the wedding, we'll have a sprog! I did have a a "final big holiday" in the pipeline for our 1st anniversary ?

I'm broody, and J is only 2 weeks old. Hoping it passes.

I'd quite like to go through my labour and birth again though. At the time I asked OH to kill me, just to be rid of the pain, but i'd do it all again today if I could.

I really hope it happens for you soon. I had got pregnant with the girls but after then had three treatments after dodgy smears which caused an erosion and a few other things,my OH had no children. I had no idea if it was me or him and he refused to do anything or see anyone. It was a really horrible time and pretty much ruined our sex life for ages. Anyway we gave up after three years and got on with the idea that he would never have any natural kids. Then another year down the road i felt some hot flushes and was late,completely thought i was having an early menopause. Never thought i would be pregnant. He is so appreciated and we both feel so lucky to have him.

Everyone was always asking if we were trying and about age gaps etc but very few people knew until after we had him just how long it was. It can be a very lonely and frustrating experience.

Well I have something of a tribe from my previous marriage (5) and am undecided as to having anymore. A few things go against me, my age and the fact that i have had two ectopics! The first was treated medically but the second was a full on blue light surgery job, so only one side left! It is lovely now the youngest is 6 and more able to do things for himself. ie; get dressed, clean teeth. With the eldest being 17 I get a lot of pleasure watching her blossom, needless to say they all fill me with pride. If I am truly honest I am not sure I feel a huge desire to go back to square one, nappys, potty training, chicken pox yada yada yada. However, OH has never had children and I know for him it would be the icing on the cake so this may be the deciding factor but it would have to be fairly soon after we were married.

Can't really help on TTC I was very fortunate. Didn't plan on having 5 though!

Labour is hard work! But the euphoria of holding your baby for the first time is irreplaceable.

Being a parent is tiring, demanding, stressful, challenging, rewarding, amusing, eternally expensive but completely worth it!
