Me and DH have both said we would like one more baby, purely for Callum as the older ones are all at school. its not for sure, and I have a coil so its not going to be a overnight decision, but the looks from people when they ask 'So youre not having any more, are you??' and I say 'maybe' makes me Its up to us surely!!

Because they couldn't cope as well as you do, if they were in your position, perhaps?

oh yes, I get the 'god how do you cope, with 4 kids, and 2 with disabilities? I can't cope with 1/2 etc'

I'm quite that you may have another little one. I would love another child but DH is stuck fast and will not relent

I love being pregnant,and we have the space. the only thing that puts me off slighty is the fact that the baby would be early. I want tests etc before I fall pregnant anyway

Because, as we all know, unless you have 2 children, NT, 1 girl, 1 boy, 2 years apart, then no fucker is happy.

My SIL has 2 kids, one boy 12, one girl 10, and she makes the comments too. I have 2 boys and 2 girls. I am happy but there is the 'maybe one more' thinking all the time

lol at 'no fucker is happy'

I think most people find two is plenty of work and can't imagine how horrific more might be.

But fuck em! have twelve!

I have to say that going from 1-2 was a huge shock to my system, 2-3 was easy, 3-4 sooo easy...

Twig, it's because you didn't conform! What did you think you were doing, waiting that extra year you rebel!!?

Makes me feel like having 5 kids just to piss MIL people off.

I get this already, I have 2 boys and a DD ont he way. People are already asking me if I'm having anymore (let me get this one out first FFS! ) and I always answer truthfully, 'Yes I want more'

Some of the looks I get are amazing!

I'm that you find it so easy.
I've found 2-3 quite hard.
Also of people who actually enjoy being pregnant.

Good luck to you

Nbg I have nightmare pregnancies but still love every minute of it!

I have wobbly moments, but can still smile at the thought of little one whilst barfing in the loo

SoupDragon · 16/08/2008 14:55

I could handle 4 of DS1 but only 1 of DS2 and possibly none of DD

I am such a miserable witch when I'm pregnant.

The only good bit is having nice skin and nails and then holding the baby at the end

DisenchantedPlusBump · 16/08/2008 15:02

Miserable witch is a good description for me today, I love being PG, but Im sure my DH hates it.

I cried, sobbed even, today because he went out with his mum shopping,

that evil witch.

lol

We are kicking around the idea of baby number 4., We both want another baby badly but we are trying to work out if now is a good time or if we should wait a few more years.

I have stopped telling people (family mostly) that we are thinking of having another because they go ballistic. They just don't understand the joys of having a house full of children. My parents think that I am a pig for having three. They can kiss my ass.
