Feeling super broody?

[Anonymous]

So myself and my husband are both 26 and have been married now for a year, we have a house and have stable jobs just for context.

I am currently incredibly broody to the extent it is all I think about and I love anything to do with babies, my husband’s work colleague has just found out he has twins on the way and I feel very happy for him but also very much wish that it was us instead. We have discussed having babies a lot and now don’t use protection as such just rely on the him pulling out. However we have agreed that now is not quite the right time but in maybe about a year the time might be right to try for a baby. How do I stop thinking about having baby and just wait out the year as it really is all I want and what I think about?

Maybe just enjoy being around other couples that have babies to experience some time with a baby. As u know it is a lifelong commitment and they are expensive. Just have fun practicing how to have babies until u both are ready. How often are you two having sex right now? Maybe it might happen sooner than u expect!

Currently around 3/4 times a week, we have used the pull out approach for 2 years now and it hasn’t happened yet but who knows.

[Alex-Snow]

I would find the pull out method difficult ( I use condoms.. I'm 19 and do not want to be a teen dad) When I approach orgasm my instinct is to thrust deeper not pull out. I guess ur husband has figured it out. Does he ever forget to pull oit?

[Asker]

Only once in 2 years and I was on my period then so didn’t result in pregnancy

[Alex-Snow]

Well just enjoy the great sex for now! Do u ever go for round 2 or 3 with him?

[Asker]

Yes quite often in fact!

[Alex-Snow]

Well just enjoy the great orgasms for now... I certainly would!

One thing you could do is actually pick a date. By saying maybe a year, it’s easier for him to move the goal posts on you. But if he agreed that by May 1st he’s ok with you all starting to try, then you could better plan and even do some shopping ahead of the babies arrival.

[Asker]

We have decided December 2025

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s a really long time to wait tho. Can you compromise and see if he’s willing to any time sooner?

[Asker]

He simply says that he isn’t ready yet but I wonder if after his work colleague’s twins arrive it might have an effect (as long as it doesn’t put him off further)

[BarryLiverstone]

Usually it’s a fear of the unknown and based on finances. Has he said how having kids will affect the money in your relationship?

[Asker]

Yes and we both agree finances will be fine for us

[BarryLiverstone]

So if the finances are ok, he would be happy having a baby before next December.

[Asker]

I hope so as December 2025 will be when we start trying so could be a long wait even when we start trying

[BarryLiverstone]

What if you wanted to start trying sooner? Could you ask him not to pull out when you are fertile

[Asker]

But he says that he really isn’t ready and wants to go on one last big holiday before I get pregnant

[BarryLiverstone]

Then it really is about the money

[BarryLiverstone]

Do you try to think about other things?

You could buy one of those realistic baby dolls until you're both ready for a real baby.

[Asker]

Great idea thank you, just tricky that I feel totally ready but totally respect that he isn’t yet.

Oh, I understand, but if you have to wait, please do look into the dolls I mentioned; they really are realistic-looking.

Time waits for no-one i say start having as many babies as you can now
