At what age did you become broody for children?

Question

I'm 26 currently and still do not have the burning desire (or any desire) to have my own children. 
When did this kick in for you? How old were you when you had the desire to have children and what did it feel like?

Answer

I have wanted babies literally forever. I have tons of photos of me raising baby dolls and rocking my little sisters to sleep

Answer

I really never had the desire to have my own children, but since I’ve been pregnant (she’s a big surprise at 39!)- I’m excited. But, some people just don’t ever have the desire and that’s okay. Feeling either way is totally normal- I think sometimes it has to do with the current situation a person is in and sometimes it has to do with the way they were raised. If the desire doesn’t come- it’s totally okay.

Answer

I never wanted babies until I was pregnant at 20 with my first and when she was born it changed my entire outlook on children . Now I’m 27 and about to have my third !

Answer

Answer

Ever since I can remember. I’ve always had a ton of baby dolls. I used to pray and beg them to turn real. Whenever I was outside at night, I was always looking around to see if there was an abandoned baby somewhere. I begged my mother to adopt and she lied to me and said that it was only possible to adopt for married couples (this was before I even knew how to use the internet since I wasn’t raised on it). Once I found out that she lied, I asked her to at least foster a baby and she said no. My cousin got pregnant but wanted to abort based off of the possibility of her child having Down syndrome. My mother and I convinced her not too. I was around 15 years old and ready to take full responsibility of that child. I was determined to get a job and do my best. She kept her baby since she didn’t have DS. I was crushed but also happy for her. I used to stuff my shirts to see how I would look with a belly. I would coddle my stomach whenever I was bloated. I always wished to be pregnant even though I wasn’t even having sex. I still daydream what it’d be like to have a baby. The good and the bad. I created a bunch of fake profiles on “BabyBump” to monitor the baby’s growth over the 40 weeks. I knew there was no baby of course, it was just fun. I was so jealous seeing labor pictures and baby names being announced. I had EXTREME baby fever and I still do. Some people I graduated high school with are pregnant or have already had a child and yes I get jealous. I’m out of college in about a year and plan on having my first right away.

Answer

I had an accidental pregnancy at age 20, gave birth at 21. Then left my husband at 24. Married new and much improved husband at 27 and now pregnant with his child at 29. Very much wanted this baby/planned this baby. 
It’s so much more fun and feels more special this time around, probably for several reasons. I have done this before so I know what to expect, my husband is a wonderful father like the best I could ask for, and we are in a financially stable place to provide whatever our family may need.

Answer

I’ve always wanted kids lol i didn’t end up losing my virginity until i was basically 21 tho n ended up pregnant with my first child later that year....still with my boyfriend and our second child is due in 5 weeks 😂 I’m 24 now

Answer

Not until my niece was born.
I never wanted kids, but that changed to maybe wanting to have kids when I was in my mid-thirties.
My sister had her daughter when I was 28 and my baby fever kicked in!
I knew I wanted a baby and was the most ready I’ll ever be just this past summer after I turned 29.
