i am the same i want another and v v v broody think its because my sis and sis in law are preggers due in Nov and Dec.. I am waiting as i want my 2 lads to be at school which in my area my ldest will be startng reception Jan 2010 when he is 5 and the other will be jan 2011 when he is 4 1/2 so have at least 28 months before we start trying. A long time to be broody.

Also really wud like a girl so will try and do things to help inflience a girl but i know its 50/50.

Why dont you see how you feel say after xmas see if you feel ready then if not wait until after easter anf if you still feel something is holding you back . try writing how you feel at the moment down on paper and see if you can pin point whats not right.

Also, just to add that many people get fixed on 'babies' but babies aren't babies for very long. Babies become children at around year or so. Are you happy to have another child which is s/he'll be for the 15+ years after the baby stage has worn off?  GL making a decision, Nat, x

We have 3 boys and they are all 2 years apart and I love it!

We definatly want one more,just not sure when.While we are not 100% we definatly wont be having another yet.

If you have to ask I dont think you are quite ready yet but when the time is right you will know.

We knew definatly after ds1 that we wanted #2 quickly.As soon as ds2 was born we knew we wanted a 3rd soon after.

This time we dont have that broodiness so its not the right time x

I think if your asking the question then yr not really 100% sure yourself.  I felt just like this about 8mths ago and I was in no hurry at all for another but just lately Im really starting to feel that "urge" if you know what I mean and until you feel that I personally wouldnt do it.  Why not wait a while tell yr dh that you certainly wont rule it out but feel theres no rush at the moment. (Thats what my dh said last yr) and it only now we feel ready. I think its a decision u both have to feel ready for. Good luck hunxx

it really isnt something that we can help you decide - it depends totally on how you cope with the two you've got, your financial situation, you and your husband... its all about you hon.  DON'T set your heart on having a girl..the chances after having two boys is probably quite low.  Think carefully about how you'd feel if you had a boy.. would you be disappointed?  could you cope with three kids?  could you cope with two young kids during pregnancy? do you have enough room at home for them all?

Seriously , speak to your husband first - and good luck!!!

dont be having another on the hope of having a girl hun. my freind had a girl then decided to try for a boy.........4 girls later they have decided to stop trying lol x

I have 3 children and love it, but it is something only u and dh can decide. I'd definitely think long and hard, and don't do it just to try for a girl. You have to want a baby no matter what the gender. I know ppl sometimes have a preference as to a boy or girl, but to try to get pg just to have a girl sounds like asking for trouble. xxxxx

Ive had two, and Im not going to have any more - my deciding reason was that it wasnt fair on the other two. I knew I wouldnt be able to give three of them enough time and attention as what they are used to now. Also to go through the late stages of pregnancy and early baby stages would be hard with two others to look after, play with etc.- and ultimately it would be them that would suffer with a whacked out mummy!!.

However if youre someone who thrives on pregnancy, babies and can do the mother thing standing on your head, then go for it, but I think when deciding when to have more kids - the ones you have is all that matters in the consideration - iykwim!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

if you are not sure hun, don't do it - wait a while, think it thru before you decide - you don't wanna actually be pregnant and regret it then iykwim?

I had this dilema since dd2 was born (20 mths) as i was very broody. i had to keep asking myself if we should or not it's only natural to ask.  I had all the thoughts constantly and 50, 50 for and against the idea but i couldnt see me never having another.  i was worried we couldn't afford it, how do i get out and about with 3, when will we ever get me time, what if one is left out, what if our whole happy family dynamic changes, they went on and on.  Well i gave in and now i'm 21 weeks pregnant and happy although some times i get scared when i realise how easy it is getting now the girls are playing and more independant  there is going to be exactly 2 years between all 3.

I would say follow your heart, you will always get the doubts even if it is what you really want.  The only way i got round them was to think about if the choice was taken away and i was pregnant would i be pleased, i think we plan and think too much.

The only thing is other people seem to think it's a bit weird and you dont get the aw congratulations when you tell them, you get was it planned!!!!!! ahhhh!  good luck!

Only you can decide but..... if something doesn't feel right I would suggest you try to figer out why you feel that way first before you make the decision to either go for it or leave it. It has to be right for all of you... not just your dh. Even if you do decide now is not thre right time it doesn't mean it will never be. Have a long hard think, gather your thoughs and talk to you dh. Good luck x

well as you have had to ask id say no dont have another x

I know this probably sounds daft but my dh has just suggested having another baby after always being adiment that he only ever wanted 2. It's thrown me a little as I'd come round to the idea that my family was finished and life would be returning to some sort of normality soon and that i'd go back to work once ds2 (2) starts preschool. 

I know i sould probably be jumping at the oppertunity as i'd really love a little girl but somethings holding me back and i really don't know what it is. Did anyone else feel aprehensive at adding to their family. Am I just worrying about nothing? Should i just go for it even though i'm a little worried? Really don't know what to do.
