big families anyone preg with number 4, 5 or more

[zephyr]

Mine were 41 weeks, 40w1d, 41 weeks, induction with my twins at 38 weeks - unfavourable cervix so I think I would of gone much longer with them.

I am expecting to reach my due date and maybe even go over but who knows, maybe ill be surprised this time
my midwife said based on history she expects me to go over also.

My babies were 40 weeks, 38 weeks, 34 weeks and 37 weeks (induced because of low fluid).

I had pretty bad gestational diabetes with my last pg, so I'm starting now to watch close. I craved sweets SO badly and over indulged often.

Mine came At 39+4, 40+6 and 40 exactly ... So who knows when number 4 will come

I'm hoping to go at 38 weeks like my first daughter, and my third daughter..keeping my fingers crossed. I'm already having a hard time sleeping...

Ladies, I have a slight rant to anyone who listens...
I don't get it, if it's your first baby, you may have several baby showers and that's considered ok? But if you have a baby shower for subsequent babies it's considered tacky? Even if it's a gender you never had? I just don't get it. I saw a lazy on here talking about having her second shower but I think it's her first pregnancy, and I don't think it's bad, but to say that if I had a shower for my fourth baby FIRST boy is not in good form and looks greedy.. I'm just confused by the whole bit...needless to say, I AM not having a shower for this baby....not close to anyone to have one. I feel sad about it. Not because of gifts...but just the celebration of it all. I was 21 when I had my first child. No showers for either of my girls. But I feel like celebrating this final child as I've never been able to do before. But in all categories it looks bad...idk

Rant over...

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I've posted, but I didn't want this thread to die. I hope you are all getting on alright!

AFM I gave birth to a little girl Nov. 3rd at 40+4 and she is perfect. I would love to hear how everyone else is doing.
