    This to me seems mad but I have to leave it out of my system !!!

    I was on FB earlier today and came across a girl that I know through mutual friends so I clicked for a nosey, and everyone was congratulating her on her pregnancy and also her best friend is pregnant.

    And of nowhere these feelings of jealousy just poured out of me, all I kept thinking was I wanted to be pregnant and I want a baby and this girl is having her 2nd child !!! I thought I was going mad!!!!

    Me and bf talked about having kids someday and really looking forward to having them (and the making!) but at the minute we arent financially stable to do so as im unemployed.

    So what I want to know is am I broody or just being jealous and begrudging????

    :eek::eek::eek:

    You want kids but the time isn't right at the moment but for other people there is no problem.

    Well if you want it to happen then you will have to find a job then.

    If you don't know how you're feeling, I'm not sure how strangers are going to know...

    If you were thinking you want to be pregnant then that sounds rather broody to me - however, having kids without the financial means is really, really, really hard work and I very much doubt you'd be jealous of anyone facing that prospect so perhaps acknowledge your broodiness and work towards getting in a position that you can enjoy parenthood from.

    All the best.

    I was made redundant last year and since then have been volunteering and doing unpaid work because i dont know if you realise this, theres hardly any jobs out there, im over qualified, im under qualified, ive too much experience, ive no experience.... I have been trying.

    Thanks Ickle. I am ashamed now to think I acted like a jealous brat yesterday. Just these feelings came out of nowhere. I am not jealous by nature, so im disgusted with myself.

    Ive come to the conclusion im broody and that il look forward to it when the time comes :rolleyes:

    I think we have a range of feelings in life, and some of them feel good and some of them, when we work out we have them, can be surprising, or even a bit shameful.

    I've heard that accepting that you did/do have those feelings can be very helpful, because in naming them, you reduce the 'charge' they have. It doesn't mean that now becomes the perfect time to have a babe, just that you become self-aware of how you are feeling about that. And it gives you the option to talk to your partner if you want to see if a babe is a goer.
