Wow super woman!! You know whatbi am worried about the most....what everyone else will say/think when we announce a 4 th pregnancy. Sounds silly because i know i shouldnt care what other people think but comments about having a 3rd was bad enough lol. Suppose you learn to brush it off x

My fourth is 11 weeks! It is a bit busier, but not by too much I don't think. We did get alot of "4th......another one??" But mostly in a they think we're mad as theyd never manage 2 kinda way, only a few meant it in the don't you have enough kids way.
I think 4 is great and am sooo glad we went for it 😃

Really wow congratulations on number 4. So how old are your other 3? x

11, 8 and 5 today! So not super close, I know my limits on that score. The older two are great helpers when I need them though.x

Ah happy birthday to your little one hun xx

My fourth is 7 weeks old (have 7,5&2year olds), and so far he has just slotted in as if he was always here don't get me wrong, he's hard work being a reflux baby & currently a catnapping nightmare but our family feels content now

 

[Bellaloo12]

Aw really. Yeh thats what i am dreading number 2 was a nightmare baby he never slept and had terrible reflux but i we got through it so i guess if i have anther like that its not forever is it lol x

I've just had my fifth but my situation is different. My oldest dd's are 19 and 18, my oldest ds is 14 but unfortunately loves with his biological dad and my two youngest are 3 and 5 days.
I LOVE having a big family. Not a moments peace but so much love, joy and laughter in the house. I'm never bored or lonely. Some days are tough with various issues and problems but the positive more than makes up for the negative

 

[Bellaloo12]

Aw congrstulations on your new addition. Thanks for your reply. I do think the pro's deffinatly outweigh the cons for me so far lol c

I'm finding it chaotic at the moment, but they're all very young! If I wasn't at risk for premature labor every pregnancy I would probably opt for another in the future, but I'm done at the moment - at least for 4 years at the LEAST!

I only have 2 right now, but really want 4 (if I can persuade my husband for the no.4, but I'll get my way!)

I find it strange because back in the day, people could have as many kids as they want without people even raising an eyebrow. Today, people actually open their mouths and feel that they have to state their opinion if you have more than 2 kids. We have 2 boys, so we're not finished, but my mom loves bringing up the subject about my reproductive system every few days as if she doesnt have anything better to talk about "You shouldnt have anymore. Its too exhausting. Maybe have 1 more, get a girl, then stop."

It annoys the crap out of me. Once or twice is ok, I get the point, you dont think I should have more than 2 (or 3), but I'm a grown woman and its MY body. Unless you're raising my kids, back off.

It almost feels like I need ask for permission to produce more kids, and dont get me started on the gender thing. My mom literally flipped when second was a boy, she wanted me to have a girl adn be done.

With that said, my next pregnancy will be a secret until...I go into the delivery room, if I can hide it that long.

Yeh people do see. To think they can judge its sooo annoying!! when we announced our 3rd pregnancy people where like ooh dont you own a tv etc all that rubbish it got boring in the end. So i dread to think what people what say. But really why do they think they have the right to comment!! Its none of their business!! x

On our fourth now. I have a 5, 3 and 2 year old. Yes. Lots of "are you mad", etc, etc. my third was a very difficult baby and my second was only 13 mths. It was so so hard. But after that, this will be a breeze and I'm not at all concerned.
