biological clock

I am married with 2 children 8 and 10. My husband has a vasectomy a few years ago because we were very happy with the size of our family.

im 30 nearly 31 and all of a sudden i am so broody. Its driving me mad. I dont want another child and everything that goes with it but my hormons seem to have gone mad making me want a baby more than anything. To the point i want to give up on my goals to have one. Not that I can due to my husband not wanting to and not being able to.

I know its not what i really want but its driving me mad. Anyone else get like this?

It may come to me one day, but with a 6 month old and 4 year old, I don't have time to think about sex never mind producing or not producing babies.....

Have you looked into adopting?

No and I dont want another child, I just seem to have a strong biological urge to get pregnant again. Its so odd. If I wanted everything that went with it then I might start talking about it to dh but I dont.

Never felt anything of the sort, whatsoever. Didn't even know people got like that.

Get the kids a pet.

When I was your age I heard that clock tick - I had no children at that time; had just been divorced but had met a new partner - and the clock ticked so loudly that I said if he didn't, at some point in the future, want a child/children there was no point us carrying on our relationship.

But I had no kids at that point.

Anyway, it will pass; you have your two and if you could have a baby it would have a real impact on your family; days out etc.

I would presume that what you are feeling and what I felt is some primeval urge. Fascinating or what?

Yes I was terribly brooding when my DD turned 7 and it went on for a while. A funny story was that my good friend (male, platonic) and I were out for a drink and had had quite a few and I out of the blue said to him " I really want a baby", he laughed and replied " could you at least buy me dinner first". It does go away, but when it is with you it is very difficult to reason with yourself, you know your not going there but at the same time you crave it.

Do you not think part of it is because you know it won't happen due to OHs vasectomy? You've already said you don't want a child just to experience pregnancy again, in which case do you think you could act as a surrogate? X
