Just found out in pregnant with baby no 5

[Poopoo58]

I have 2 teenagers plus twins who are 8mth ,I'm about 4 weekspregnant,I'm excited yes it will be hard work but the only thing worrying me is telling people what will they think,I no i should be bothered but I'm worried for some strange reason

Congratulations.

Lots of people have a later family.

Nicky Clark and his partner have just announced a second child.

The baby will be doted on.

Or baby number 5 AND 6 if you have another set of twins

Soola how do you know op is in "later" life?

Thanks,I'm 35,and another set of twins is always a possibility but I'm sure it's just one 😂

I said later family not later life.

What's a later family? OP is 35!! Hardly over the hill. Congratulations OP

Thanks

Congrats op

I am 27+5 with dc 5. My other four are between 2 and 11.

I get what you mean about what will people say. Tbh, they will say what they say and there isnt much you can do about it!

Thanks ,true,I'm just getting anxious about it

I actually think it's irresponsible to have more than 2 kids (environmentally speaking).....

Agree with Sherlock.....let's run!!

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion lol

By later family they mean have baby's years after the first baby ( the teenagers) nothing to do with OPs age.

I'm against having more than 2 children BUT i wouldn't judge as not everyone has the same views as me and everyone else in my family has 3 or more children ( my auntie has 5 kids although they are adults now)

You’re very brave. I have twins who are 2.5 and the thought of caring for them that age when pregnant, or since with a baby in tow... yikes. I wouldn’t judge but I would think you were crackers 😁

Congratulations

Thanks

Congrats OP! And screw anyone who would dare say anything negative to your face. As for environmental impact, there are plenty of couples who choose to only have one or none at all, and plenty of couples who can't have any at all. If we note what happened to China.. the population taking a wild nose dive would be a bad thing indeed once we all hit retirement age and there aren't enough young people to support us when we are doddering about.

Thankyou

A fast population decline is also bad, Sherlock. The best way to handle it is a controlled decrease, not everyone suddenly only having one child max. China proved to us how bad that is. You can't just look at one aspect and decide that is the answer to everything.

Have you found out what's causing it yet, OP ?

Not saying everyone should have just one. Just pointing out that overpopulation is killing this planet. I am sure that most people don't realize this. There is a limit to how many roads and new builds this little island can take.
