I think you know you are broody when you can read all the pro's and cons and just not care! I've got the 'magical' one of each (DS is 6, DD is almost 2). I was sure I only wanted two and bought everything for my DD in pink as I thought I wouldn't have to use it again. It was when she got to about 8 months that I became broody and tried to ignore it. Didn't work at all! I eventually gave in in the New Year and unfortunately haven't fallen pg yet but hope to soon.

I am sooo broody have two dd at 3 and 1 and would love another. however off to get coil this am as not right timing at mo and as a deal i agreed to have to it if dh agreed to discuss no 3 at easter which he said yes too!

i have to use clomid to get pg so bit worried it won't work again but that's the chance I'll take. if an accident happened i fear it would put my marraige under pressure and i don't want to do that.

but i would love to have another - i can dream! x x x x

I'm slightly different I have 3 girls aged 13, 11 on Monday and 2.5 years. I found it a real struggle to start with as my youngest slept all day and was up all night and I couldn't go back to bed in the morning as I had to get the elder 2 off to school. I do prefer the big age gap though as the older 2 don't compete for my attention so much these days and I can give more individual attention to my 2 year old when the older ones are at school. Think really hard about the reality of having 3 young children before you take the plunge as they don't come with a returns policy. Speak to your partner and see what he thinks to. Good luck.

I have dd 8 months and ds 5yrs, am feeling so broody, can people please put me off, or just tell me all the things I won't be able to do in a family of 5.

My closest friend has 3 (all boys). These are the things that has put me off a third, some of which I've noticed from her experiences.

theme park etc the cheaper family ticket is usually for family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children)

since her youngest turned 2, for a package holidayshe has had to pay for 3 'adults' and 2 children.

booking a family room in a b & b in this country, usually only sleeps 4, so 2 rooms are needed.

the car is full, so they can't take a friend (though that may be an advantage;) ) unless you have a 7 seater car.

It is always 3 x everything, 3 x fairground rides @ 1.50 a time, have 3 and you've nearly spent a fiver on 1 ride. And if you need to pay for childcare 3 x that.

and for me with 2 children (boy 7yo and girl 4yo) my own reasons for no more

I dislike being pregnant.

my very 1st pregnancy went terribly wrong and I'm never totally relaxed till the baby is born.

I'd also have to have another c-section and don't relish the idea.

we have a 3 bedroomed house and 1 of them would have to share, or we'd have to move or build an extension.

if the next was a boy, I would have the largest gap between the same sex children and I always disliked the 7year gap between me and my sis.

Well, I have just spoken to dh about wanting another baby and he says he isn't ready and wants a break from childrearing. He wants me to wait at least another 3 years (although didn't specifiy if I should aim to have the baby in 3 years or not even try to conceive for 3 years). If it is the second option, my boys will be 7 and 10 and I feel that gap is faaaaaaar too big. As I am a SAHM, I would rather get my childrearing days over and done with as fast as I can, not string it out over almost 30 years. :eek:

His reasonings were exactly what i knew they would be, bigger house, nicer area with better schools, bigger car......... PLUS, he wants me to go back to work for at least 6 months so that I can declare my wages for a bigger mortgage. He doesn't seem to understand that I have committed myself to being at home and bringing up our children, plus I homeschool.

Not sure where to go from here, he wants to wait, I don't want to wait as long as he says (was thinking of baby late next year). Seems that there will always be something we NEED to do or have before another child.
