I know there's a very lovely 3/4/5 club but I feel that going over 4 is a slightly different kettle of fish, and actually know very few people in RL who have done this and none are pg at the moment. Is anyone else out there.

I'm due 03/04/13.

Hello! I'm expecting number 6 in May (14th). Same here re: not knowing many people (ok, none) who have 5 or more, so would be good to share stories (the comments!!!) and experiences Smile

Hello! Can I ask what your age gaps are like? My oldest ds will be 7 so mine are reasonably close. I also have 4 ds so would get a huge shock if it was a girl!

Hi! My eldest is 11, next 10, then 6, 3 and 10 mths. 3 girls then 2 boys and I was quite prepared (and very happy) to have a 4th girl. Everyone was surprised that we kept going after ds1 as we had got 'our boy' Hmm. I'll bet you're having the same too Grin Have an 8 week scan booked for this Saturday as not having many symptoms (worryingly feels like my mmc a few years ago) so fingers crossed all will be well, though preparing myself for the worst. How many weeks are you now silent?

I'm expecting no 7, due 20/12/12

Good luck for today Five, my first pg was a mmc and the memory just never goes does it? I find ms and tiredness trends to ebb and flow and on an ebb day I worried so much. I'm 14 plus 3. Tmi warning but wonder if I'm the only one? Really uncomfortable prolapse made worse by pregnancy and have consultant appt on monday hopefully to put ring pessary in, had one last pg and found it so helpful!

Let us know how scan goeso!

Hi anne! Wow seven, that is lovely! Do you have some of each?

Thanks silent Smile. To be honest, I think things are over as I started spotting last night and it's a little heavier today. Good timing for the scan I suppose Hmm I'm actually feeling ok - I get so anxious about scans anyway that I'd rather have a 'heads up' than get a nasty shock in the scan room. This has been such an anxiety filled pregnancy that I am oddly getting some relief from getting close to having some answers. Will update later today.
Hi Anne! Many congrats! Not long for you now. How are you feeling?

Ah well, all over for me I'm afraid. Scan showed empty pregnancy sack with no developing foetus, so looks like a blighted ovum according to sonographer. Pleased I know what's happening - far better than the uncertainty I've been facing - and also cheered by the fact that the scan suggests my body is coming to terms with the mc and starting to let the pregnancy go as the sack is an irregular shape (my body has a history of 'holding on'). Will let nature take its course I think.
Much love and best wishes to you both xxx
