my OH needs to hang out with all of your OH's and maybe he'll catch baby fever as well!

no but in all seriousness... i understand my OH's reasoning and i know he does want to be a father one day, but he still likes being the child and isn't ready to give that up... at least he admits it!

DH = Dear Husband

Google describes broodiness as : the instinct controlled by maternal hormones that causes the female to want to set on eggs for hatching and to care for the chickens that hatch.

No seriously broody means that you just have the instinct/urge to want to concieve a child, you have babies on the brain and everytime you see a pregnant lady/baby you get all gooey and jealous that it isn't you.

My hubby is deffinately NOT broody. LOL. He is adament in starting in january, and will not give me a reason why. Only because that is when we said we would start. He is frustrating sometimes. Our friends wife is giving birth next week and it made me more excited when I saw her yesterday. I`m not jealous because I know my time will come, it just makes me more antsy.

DH=Dead Husband LOL, that is so funny, it took me awhile to figure out the terms at the beginning

It sounds like he most definitely is broody.. My DH was broody before we decided to have a child. He isnt anymore he is happy with 1 child, its me thats broody for the next one!

Is there a different term that you would use in the US?

I think the term in the US would be baby fever(or something to that affect) and I've definately got it!!

Mine became officially broody this week when his sister had a baby. All of a sudden he was willing to TTC a month early!!!

Absolutely - I think my DH is more broody then me and has been for years! I was "Oh no, babies aren't for me" but he was convinced I would change my mind...and he was right!
