Pregnant with number 5, anyone else?

[mumatmadhouse]

Hi ladies,

I am new to here, turned 35 at the end of May.
I am expecting number 5 on 20th October, the other kids are DD16, DS13, DS8 and DD2.
This pregnancy is going well and I feel fab for the most part, although a little tired. Anyone else on number 5? or more? How are you feeling?

[mumatmadhouse]

Hope your all ok xx

Yay, congrats to you! Nice to see I am not alone in my madness, lol.
I love having a big family but i really do think this will be the last for us, which kinda makes me a little sad (damn hormones) so i intend to enjoy every second of this pregnancy. I must admit though that my mind is starting to wander towards the birth, eek, lol. Have i really done that 4 times before!?!

Hi, I am 36 and this is number 5 for me, 1 boy 3 girls. My son is 18, my oldest daughter would be 15, she passed away when she was 1yr from cancer. Then my other 2 girls are 13 & 9. This pregnancy was totally unexpected but I am very happy and can’t wait to go to the Dr. for the 1st time on July 12th. I’m not sure when I am due but I’m thinking sometime around Feb. 14.

Wow! Massive congrats to you!
Sorry for your losses, I have had 2 myself
I am not surprised you cant wait for maternity leave hun, lol. I bet its amazing having such a big family, I would love to go on and have more but financially its not really an option (but that could change i guess)
Wishing you a lovely last stretch of this pregnancy and a safe delivery xx

I'm due my 5th LO in December
Have 3 older girls and a 1 year old boy. This will be our last but I figure I'll be too busy with 2 babies to get upset about it!
Christmas this year will definitely be a busy one

I had 3 girls and everybody used to tell me boys were so much easier but then I never knew any different.
Had LO a year ago and although we got told at the 20wk scan it was a boy I was still expecting another girl to appear! He has been so good so far but I don't think it's because of his gender, it's just the way he is.
I must say I wouldn't have been too upset if it was another girl (OH was desperate for a boy though) and when this one comes although I would like a boy for the 2 LO's to be close a girl is just fine by me.
Don't you find people assume you are desperate for the opposite gender? We had loads of people saying "do you keep trying until you get a boy!"
