TCC #4 dont know if to be scared or excited

[CrazyLady13]

Hello everyone
I am 32 I have 3 children dd 11 dd 7 ds 4
I have been so broody for a few months now it had gotten me down, even though dh and I have always said no more our family is complete I couldn't explain why bit I just had an insane urge
I had spoken to dh many times and he kept saying no! We said 3 was enough
Then last night he said.... do you know what we only get one life stuff what others may think let's do what makes us happy 😲 I assumed he would say no again so I'm in shock that this means baby no4 could be in the cards for us
Is there anyone out there with a large family who had a slight fear of being condemned for wanting a large lovely family 😊
Good luck to everyone tcc and I hope to get to know lots of you lovely ladies along the way ❤

Congratulations on getting the go ahead to try again! 😁 we have 6 living children although I've had 9 babies and 3 mc. Honestly, it used to bother me what others thought, but now it doesn't. In fact with my last baby, I got so many people stop to tell me how lucky I Was, and that they regretted not having a bigger family. Hope your ttc journey is short 😊 best of luck! X

Ahh super mum you are then 😊
I know I can cope with another and me and DH live for the kids if we ever get a night out and child free it doesn't happen often but we don't know what to do with ourselves 😂
My family are very controlling and have been extremely negative every single time I have announced I was pregnant in the past. I watch all these happy announcements on the internet and feel sad lol but after loosing a young family member in April I had this real feeling of wow we get one life.... I can't keep trying to make everyone else happy and try to be who they want me to be anymore
I am still nervous and excited though 🙈🙈🙈
Are you TCC for a 7th? Xx

I just saw your children's names.....
My eldest is called Neli 😍 its a name I don't see often

Deff not super mum. Knackered mum maybe lol. No I think we are done, hubby doesn't want any more and we don't really have the space and ive just got a new job so i think we're heading for the next chapter, but the thought of no more still makes me sad.
My mum has been the same really- pretty negative. Up until probably number 5 where I got in first that we were happy and wasn't bothered what she thought. When others would ask if it was our last and she would say 'it better be ' i would chirp in that we were planning another 6 or 7 😂 it was a change of mindset on my side i think- refusing to feel shamed for wanting a large family. Honestly, were married, been together 18 years, have our own home, i refuse to be treated like a naughty school girl. Unless they're taking care of the children or paying for them, it's nothing to do with anyone else. You're right, you get one life and you have to do what makes you happy, it's too short for regrets and you'll never regret the children you DO have, but you might regret the ones you didn't. X

Oh really? Just Neli or short for something? Our Nellie is Ellen but she only ever gets called Nellie x

 

[CrazyLady13]

Yes you are so right. I couldn't stop thinking about it
Nope not short for anything that's her actual name ❤
Me and DH have already got names lined up for #4 so i suppose we are excited when I really think about it xx

I'm ttc my fourth as well. I have been so broody for months!

Yes I understand completely! We have five children between us and out of the blue my husband said he wanted another so we have been trying since 2016 but no one knows because everyone in our families are so judgemental.
It doesn't matter what others think, it's your life so do what's right for you as a family

I'm also trying for baby #4! Third cycle trying now after I got my iud removed. I've gotten pregnant at the first try with my other kids so this is new for me... but it's almost 5 years since I was pregnant the last time! I thought I was done, but changed my mind Really want one more, or two... Dh is not that crazy about it but we are ntnp (that being me being in a crazy baby making mode and dh taking it as it comes ). Bd right before every ovulation so far so now I'll just have to wait until af is due again in about two weeks.

I am trying for #4 as well. This is our 6th cycle. My 1st 2 kids took only 1 cycle to conceive and my 3rd dd took 2 cycles and that is with waiting about 24 hrs after a pos opk on the first cycle so maybe that's why. My youngest turned 6 in Aug. I did not think I would be here 6 months later still trying! I knew there was a chance it would take longer and worried a little, but I figured it wouldn't be longer than 3-4 months. I'm not sure why this time around it isn't happening. Maybe something is wrong now? I'm 33 so not too old. DH is also 33.
Anyway, hope it happens for all of us quick!
