How to stop feeling broody?

No matter what the circumstances that created a pregnancy, losing it hurts no matter what your age or your situation, for most women. Maybe you never had the support you needed to be able to grieve fully and deserverdly for a being that didn't get to be born, even if the being wasn't meant to be, or wasn't healthy, it doesn't matter. The idea of making life, of giving life, is one of the most powerful feelings a woman, or girl-woman can have. I'm glad you have your goals and want to keep them. One of the things I did after a miscarriage was to plant a little tree and so I could think of my baby having gone into nature and back into the earth and being recreated into something new. Whatever you decide to do, try not to feel victimized by it. Try to make it yours, cry or do something constructive, and move on with your life.
