I'm getting broody!? What's going on!? Haha

[Littlebirdlolita]

I think I must be crazy.

I'm getting broody, honestly, i'm 21, and i've only been with my SO since March officially. Lol But I can't stop looking at babies and wanting one! Hahaha

Before my SO came alone, I was very much against getting married and having kids, now, i'm completely the opposite, I want to get married, ONE DAY, and I want to have kids, 3 actually.

But i'm worried, because i've never been like this and I don't get what's going on. Haha Maybe my body clock has kicked in early or something? Does or has anyone else have feelings like this?

Me and SO have spoken about kids one day as well, which I think just made me want it more. Lol

I must be crazy right? Haha

You're not alone!

Sometimes I get like this, too... and I'm only 19! However, having a big family has always been important to me, ever since I was young. My SO and I have been dating for a year, but we've known each other since we were eleven. We've mentioned it a few times, and it always gets me so excited! Sad, I know. It's not like I'm looking to get married any time soon: we're both in college pursuing our different careers, but I kind of can't wait until we get to that point in our lives (assuming our relationship works as planned!)

I don't think you're crazy, I like you adore your SO and can't wait to (hopefully) spend your life together! Obviously, be careful you don't rush into anything, especially this early in the game. So glad to hear you're so happy in your relationship

[Littlebirdlolita]

Haha Thank you I'm happy to hear i'm not the only one! So at least if we are crazy, we can be crazy together. Haha

It is such an exciting thing to talk about though! I'm dreadful because I say one thing and it gets him going, he gets excited about it as well! Haha But no rushing for me thanks! I wanna make sure everything is going well before anything like that, we've both said to each other, in 5 years time, after we've travelled, done everything, and seen everything we want, together, then we'll think about it. Haha So, here's to 5 years... Haha Although, with me being so bloody broody now, I might have to just go and borrow my brother's kid for a while. Hahaha

Isn't it funny though, how meeting one person can change your aspirations in life so drastically? From not wanting kids and marriage and all that, to knowing that it's exactly what I want with him in the future. SCARY. Haha

Good luck to your relationship as well! Although, by the sounds of it you are just as happy as me Keep smiling x

[frompanthertomustang]

Hahaha you're sweet! And 5 years seems like a great amount of time for you two! But it really is exciting to talk about and look forward too. It IS really strange how one person can change another's outlook that drastically, but it sounds like you're totally fine with it, and I'm so glad And thank you, yes, we're very happy!

P.S. I borrow my brother's daughter all the time... great we have another thing in common!

[Phantomrose]

You're not alone! I get like this, from time to time when looking at baby pictures, or baby videos on youtube. I sometimes talk about babies with my SO, as well as about how we would raise our kids (when we have kids), names, etc. It is somewhat exciting, and a bit fun to talk about!

What's going on is a little thing humans forget they have called instincts. You're at your ripest right now and before humans life goals were to own a big house and have a good job it was to reproduce, to spread their seeds, pass on their traits that have made them survive disease and danger. Just because you don't know why or think you are not in the right place in your life to be wanting children, that little clock buried away in your brain is telling you to get on.

[Romeo s Juliet]

I think you feeling this way is because you have surely found THE ONE and i agree with snow girl. she stated the point exactly

[Spriteling]

Oh lord, I feel you. I have been so bloody broody lately it's insane. Everywhere I go I see pregnant women and newborns. And, I have to wait about 8 years before I can have a baby of my own.

[lala]

I agree with the others.. you're not crazy it is a natural feeling. I was like you.. before I met my SO I wasn't sure if I ever would like to get married and have a family, cause my family is a bit weird and I never wanted to have one like this. But then I met my SO's family and his cousins with their wives and babys and houses (typical american style) and I liked that a lot. Since that I am thinking about children and marriage again. my SO brother wife is pregnant now and everyone is excited. I'll see the baby when I visit my SO,so I'm also super excited! In addition my SO loves his nieces and he is a great uncle I think this summer my desire to have a family (in the next 4-5 years) will grow!

[Kerry]

I'm with you halfway. my SO has changed my mind on marriage- we're planning on getting married but as far as kids go. that's another story!

[notyourexgirlfriend]

I was never a broody hen. Never even thought about children until one day my body clock's alarm went off and I slept through it. Turns out certain medications that aren't supposed to affect the pill did. It was 'congratulations, you're pregnant'. I have a 7yo daughter. I had her in my 20s. Every now and then I coo over someone else's baby but I still don't feel that broodiness that everyone keeps talking about. Maybe I'm not the normal one?
