PG again with your 4th, 5th, or even 6th child?

[ssjad]

Have twins!!

 

[allforthegirl]

I too know that feeling of not having any more after this one. But it is my decision for him and partly his(he is just in agreement, my idea). Cause I seem to fall pg so easily #6 would/could just show up. I will be at my limit. Especially if this one is a boy. I won't lie I will be upset that a little girl is not in my cards. Of course I will him, there is no question, just sad that a girl is never happening.

Hi all,

I am due in March 2014 (5th) and this will be our 5th child altogether. Did anyone give you negative comments when you announced? Sorry if this has been asked before

 

[crysshae]

Just found out I am 4 weeks pregnant with our 4th this was totally a surprise for us!!

Congratulations! With those birthdays, looks like you have a trend for summer BFPs.

Well today is grossly humid an hot. Not so good with pg hormones!! Yuck!

How hot is it up there? I hear everyone talking about the heat.

Course hubby who is a gem says that big bellies are in fashion this yr LOL

That is a very sweet hubby.

This is all making it all very real. I'm starting to get scared.

Also feeling very sad. this will almost certainly be my last. hubby has stated his intention to be snipped after #4 is born. I look at my kids and all I can think is that I need to freeze this moent because I'll either never have another son or daughter... all those cute baby dresses I saved - are they going to stay tucked away until grandkids?!? or will the adorable boy outfits only be worn once? I feel a bit daft to preemptively feel sad for the 'loss' of one gender or the other. but never felt this way with the others because I KNEW there would be more babies.

I'm also unreasonably grumpy with #4 for not letting me enjoy this pregnancy! my ms is the worst its ever been! little rascal!

I felt that way when my twins got to around 2 and life slowed down a little because we thought they would be our last. Then we decided on another one, and I felt that way again after he was born. Now that were TTC another, I'll probably feel that way again after our baby is born, but I think we will need to stop after this one. My DH has planned to get snipped since we had our twins. Lol. My feelings always start with "I'll never be pregnant again...or give birth...or breastfeed...or just sit and stare at an infant for hours like nothing else exists....or have them sleep on my chest...oh the list keeps going.

I hope your MS subsides and you can enjoy your pregnancy real soon.

crysshae it was at about 7 pm when thing should have been starting to cool off, 38C with the himidex. Our kids came in after supper dripping with sweat. It was gross. It didn't drop until about 3 am as some rain clouds brought in some cooler air.

Yuck! That's crazy for y'all; isn't it? It's normal for us....still hate it, but at least we're used to it.

 

[allforthegirl]

Oh yah that isn't normal for us at all. At least it will be cooler today.

It was 100 here yesterday, but we don't have humidity THANK GOD. Today is a beautiful 86. We have one day of a break then back to the 90's. I'm so thankful for central air.

I've actually not felt very sick for several days then last night BAM running for the bathroom. I have some random pain at the top of my stomach, almost under my ribs on the left side that started last night and was quite annoying all night long. I'm sure the puking didn't help. If it had started after that I'd say pulled muscle, that's how it feels. Anyone have an idea? LOL! I know I can't worry about every ache, but it's hard not to! (You'd think this was my first time at this rodeo huh?) It feels similar to gallbladder pain I've had but is to the left of center when that is usually right of center.

Gas pain I would say. Gas pain seems so intensified when pregnant. Feels like all kinds of uncomfortable. I have been seriously uncomfortable, I've been drinking ginger tea and it help a lot. I havent vomited in 24 hours so that good too lol.

 

[tryn4]

Got my beta results 57,554...don't know if that matters as they are not monitoring it. Did find out I get another peek at the lil one in a month, totally forgot that they now screen all women regardless of age for downs. So I have that and my first prenatal appt booked in just under a months time. Hopefully they will give me a better pic of him/her. Feeling so bloated. My belly is normally on the big side (im plus sz) but geez its swollen out with bloat today crazy! At 2 months I look 4 Course hubby who is a gem says that big bellies are in fashion this yr LOL

Are you talking about the nucal scan @ 12 weeks? Mines booked for the 26th

Got the call from the specialist today. Guess I will be seeing her on the 23rd. This is all making it all very real. I'm starting to get scared.

Yes nucal scan...Y are you scared? Happy thought Happy thoughts!

I haven't told may people yet- This is our 4th baby. The people that i have told knew that i wanted another child so they were just happy and nervous for me. Im sure my DH family will not be so thrilled but honestly I dont care ALL that much! Im over worrying about what other people think.
How are your "people" taking the news? Have you told many people yet??
Congrats on you :BFP: !!

 

[Whitesoxfan41]

We had a few negative responses, more about my age than about my 4th child. Whatever. We're too happy to let them bring us down!

 

[CountryMomma]

We haven't told anyone yet and don't plan to till after 12 weeks. We are hoping we could maybe get some indication of gender by then because we will be much happier to tell people that we are having a girl rather than our 5th boy.. I have a feeling I may get some negative responses or not so delighted ones if it is another boy.. not that he would be any less loved, just not as exciting. IYKWIM

 

[CountryMomma]

Oh and I go for my first scan at 6 weeks on Tuesday! Yay!

I was terrified of negativity from people but ave been very pleasantly surprised I am glad to say. We were not planning on telling anyone until after my first scana t 12 weeks but tbh I was getting anxious about how the news would go down and am so glad we told them already - it is such a weight off my mind lol.

My mum, she laughed and said well good for us; even though she thinks us nuts
My dad was delighted -totally chuffed
most of my sisiters were really pleased ;except one who has not actually said the words 'congratulations' and who has dryly said 'there are more things to do when you are 40 you know?' 'Like get a tattoo or go on holiday' - I just replied' I have tattoos and go on holiday every year anyway'

work will be funny /strange / maybe even difficult -I work with a lot of people a lot younger than me who probably think I am ANCIENT haha

Good luck telling people - goes it goes well xxxx

Tryn if you want to read about it I have started a thread called high risk in the gestational complications. I would write it all out again but it is lengthy.

 

[wannabubba#4]

I have that look around the house feelings!!
I look in the rooms and thing where is everything going to go?
Sure baby will be in our room for a little while but there where.
dd1/dsd share, dd2/3 share, dss has a room, if its a boy you'd think that's ok can share with dss but its a very small room. We'll work it out, well there's always a sofa bed in the living room if not lol

So, early days but is anyone thinking of a homebirth?

Yep me! I would love a home birth - we planned one last time but it didn't transpire as LO was 14 days overdue and I was induced. Wish I had had the guts to say no to induction back then but ... wel water under the bridge... and I would love to do it this time around.

I think MW will be against it this time though, as baby number 5, me being age 40 and having a forceps delivery last time but we'll see what time brings. And I haven't broached the subject with hubby yet, he as totally on board last time but after a very difficult delivery with last baby he may not be so keen this time ( even though I believe all the difficulties and forceps delivery was due to me being induced)

Ah yes I do recall now u have some worries...after work I will read it for sure but I do recall a couple pgs back u gave us a brief idea....I will say a prayer 4 u...

As for negative responses, I haven't had any exactly. I haven't officially announced it but I told my daughter who posted it on Facebook which I was less than thrilled. On the post a lady I know commented that "you are good, I'm ONLY on my first" my hubby saw that & had my daughter delete the post cuz he said its too much hidden jealousy or bad thoughts. I chalk negativity up to jealousy.

 

[blessedmomma]

we had negative responses with our 4th, 5th, and 6th pregnancies. we finally told everyone we were letting God build our family to His liking- so He decides when we have a child and how many. now on our 7th people haven't really said anything rude.

I would love a home birth too, but with previous complications I just don't see it happening. my labors keep getting faster and faster too. my last labor only took 1 hr 9 mins from first contraction to birth so it could be a home birth no matter what we plan!

 

[wannabubba#4]

Self indulgent post alert - lol

It is My Birthday and I am 40 !!
Fab at 40 lol , OMG pregnant at 40 - how did that happen -I always said I would be done by the time I was 30 haha

Age IS just a number right??

Have a super weekend ladies, hope the sun is shining were you are
