Trouble TTC

Am I CRAZY or have you ever felt like doing this...

I was at a resturant with MH and saw a couple with a pretty new little baby girl.  I was of course eyeing the baby every few seconds and I am sure the parents thought I was crazy!  All of a sudden I had this urge to grab the baby and run out of the door.  OMG!!  I thought to myself WTH??  I even pictured myself doing it.  I could not believe I was thinking this!  I guess I REALLY want a baby!

Have any of you had any "urges" like that or am I CRAZY????Confused

Re: Am I CRAZY or have you ever felt like doing this...

  • Of course I've thought to myself or joked out loud "That baby is so cute I could just snatch him up and take him home with me" but I've never actually pictured myself doing it.  I think because I work in Target, I have been forced to see lots of pregnant women, newborns, toddlers, etc that I got over my "stare factor" quickly.  I like to make faces or talk to the older ones for entertainment for both them and myself :) And that might make the parents think I'm either a little quirky or a total nut job LOL.  But the little girls and I always like to talk about who our fav Disney Princess is.

  • Yes...just this week. A mom with most beautiful baby sat down right next to me. I don't think I envisioned myself running off with him, but I definitely stared for way too long to be socially appropriate and felt like I was longing.

  • I find the longer that you're on the IF journey, you will, at some point or another, hit "steal baby mode".  Mine came last June.  There were multiple children I almost ran off with

    I don't take one single minute for granted.
  • A friend of mine who is also having trouble TTC said that when she was on certain hormones, she had the exact same experience you're describing! Whether it's all the hormones or just the emotional rollercoaster of TTC , I think these kind of urges are not uncommon. Maybe take this as a sign to pamper yourself//get some pampering to make sure you're taking care of you during this stressful time.
  • In one word: YES!
