broody at 39 - 2 kids already - advice needed

[marinda]

I have ds 4.5 and daughter 3 months and am feeling broody. Think it must be crazy hormones as suddenly have desire for another. Anyone with experience of this or 3 kids with similar age gap would be helpful - positives and negatives welcome. Obviously want to conceive before too old to - so could wait a bit - advice anyone ???

dd at 36 ds at 41-didnt have any screenings( we do not have any family things on either side of family)
i think risk tends to be lower than miscarriage with amio,obviously its a personal thing for every one.

my choice was no screening thankyou.I had scans at normal times,they can get a good idea from there if anything is wrong.

i am blessed with 2 healthy bright children

I have ds1 who is 14 and ds2 who is 10 so the age gap was great with them. Decided to have no3 and dd was born 2004 and shes now 17 months.Had thought about a 4th so she would have a sibling round about her own age as although the boys love her to bits they have their own stuff going on and won't always wan't to play with her etc.Had decided against no4 when lo and behold i feel unwell and dp points out i have missed my period!!Turns out i am due end of July when dd will be only nearly 2 so i'm scared stiff bc the age gap will be much smaller than the boys.And how will i cope with a hormonal teenager and a 2 year olds tantrums and a new babe??? I must be off my head

how can you be broody witha three month old//?
youve barely recoverd from one pregnancy.

A Mum at school has two children born in the same year!!! and they are not twins!!!
I did rudely ask her how on earth could she have sex so soon! No problem apparently.

Is this a record i wonder!

my aunts next door neighbour had twins, and then another baby 11 months later.
she went from having no kids, to three in less than a year.
