How can I get over this and stop feeling so broody?

I have two fantastic daughters, but I am desperate for another baby.

Its awfull it has become an obsession. My husband dosen't want anymore, and while I understand thats his choice it hurts so much.

I have been feeling like this for about a year now and its just getting worse. I feel so sad, I feel like im going to explode sometimes.

I've tried ignoring it but it dosen't work. I know there is no rational reason for me to feel this way, I just wish I knew how to stop it.

Anyone got any ideas on how to stop feeling broody?

    Hi! This is how I felt when I had only one child. Now, when I have two, my hands are full, I am running around the clock and no time for anything else. Was it really so easy for you like sleepless nights and making sure both of your children receive attention when they need and the best they can get? Remember, you have to respect your husband's wishes, but you are entitled to have your own as well. Unfortunately having a baby both parties need to really want the same thing. Just try to give all your attention to you kids and find out what really is behind you wanting another child - maybe something is missing in your life, but you think child will fill that emtiness. Think about yourself more as well. Good luck !

    That's such a tough one to answer, does your husband definitely not want another baby, have you tried telling him how you feel.

    Maybe youse could compromise such as instead of having a baby, maybe getting a family pet, puppies need a lot of care and attention to and you can spoil them rotten and while its not a baby its still another thing to cherish and love, plus its good for kids to have a pet. I hope you are able to come to some sort of conclusion x

    I think you are taking the children you already have for granted..

    You should be happy that you have two wonderful daughters, some women cannot give birth at all!!!

    Well talk to your husband maybe he'll change his mind if he knows how you actually feel. I'm sure he'll come round. Good Luck XxX

    First, you don't say your age, or how old your girls are. Could be you are going through changes. You should get checked out by your doctor and see what physical explanations could be going on.

  • you need to talk to your husband and explain yourself to him then maybe he'll understand.
