feeling broody

[bednobs]

hi, i gave birth 17 weeks ago and since then have been so broody! Is it reasonably normal to feel like i want tp get pregnant again so soon, or should i be checking myself into the funny farm?

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe the fanny farm would be more appropriate ;-)

[firewatch]

yes, its an old instinct wired into us to become reseptive to he idea of being pregnant quickly.

Very normal bednobs.

hello bednobs.

firstly - a belated congratulations on the birth of your child.

i'm assuming this is your first baby (boy or girl?) and you are overwhelmed by the emotions of motherhood.
it is obviously natural to want more of the same - and so i agree with those previous posts ---- you are not nuts - just very happy to be a mother.

it will settle in due course, in the mean time, relish the joy of your situation.

once again - congratulations.

That's probably the reason I have two boys who are 13 months apart......

Lol I think it's quite normal. Never happened to me though! When my daughter was a baby she had terrible colic and I wasn't sure if I could cope with her at times so it never entered my head/I never desired another. I often wonder if she'd been an easier baby if I would have still felt the same. My daughter is 5 now and I've never felt broody in my life. I'm quite envious of those who do as I'd like to experience the feeling.

Hope Phoebe is getting on well :)

My SIL had 4 in 4 years - 1, then 1 in 13 months, then twins.... she didn't feel broody after that!

[ummmm]

I've never felt broody until recently. I think it's my age.

Everyone is different hun, when my first was 17 weeks I would have been devestated to be pregnant BUT when she was a year old I was desperate for no2 (I have him now lol) so the answer is..if it feels right, go for it. xXx
