I have just recently had a miscarriage(loss of gallons and gallons of vaginal bleeding, solid clots and acute lower adominal pain; not pleasant). I've been broody for well over 2.8 decades now(I'm a maternal Cancerian who never ever got the coveted 'tiny tears' as a wee girl; I'm also quite aware that raising children is a full-time responsibility for life. The first time I held a baby, hence the enternal broodiness I knew this was my vocation. My only regret is not being a 'young' mother. I'm positive I will get there soon! Thank-you for the forum
