hi im a mum to 6 want to be mummy to 7 !
my DH works full time , we own our own home , and have been married for 11 years in june .
BUT all mine and his family have TOLD us "dont you dare have any more"
but i really want another baby , i just love been pregnant , giving birth and breast feeding .
we dont ask for any help off any one , i can count on one hand how many times we've been out on our own in the last 11 years . should we listen to every body else or go with OUR hearts ??
i just dont want people to reject our baby , and im scared of how many " OH NO'S" we'll get instead of congrates .

what would you do ??

You have to do what is best for:

  • Yourself
  • Your DH- will he be financially stressed?
  • You DC- will you be able to give them the attention they deserve with another child?

I was pondering this as I was shouting at urging DD to get a move on to get ready for school this morning. she has to be out of the house for 7.35 to catch the school bus. Trying to get 7 children out of the house for that time seems nigh impossible - well it does to me anyway Smile

Why do you care what others think? I you think you and DH will be able to manage then go for it.

I know this is an old post but I just read it and I’m kind of in the same boat ! I have 6 kids already (ages 11 mos to 16 yrs) and id absolutely LOVE to try for baby number 7!!! I worry that people willl think I’m
Nuts because they already think I’m crazy with 6 ... but they are my world . I also love pregnancy, birth , and breastfeeding and watching them grow into amazing people ! If you read this . Let me know if you went for the 7th because right now I’m more worried about what everyone else will think.. it’s so hard . And I’m a stay at home mom. I spend every day with my kids none are in daycare , i hope that you went for baby 7!! That’s awesome and you are an amazing mom . I live in a really small town so I don’t have a lot of people to relate to... I have a friend and she’s got 5 kids and she’s awesome too! Such a laid back easy going person! Anyway just wanted to share my thoughts !!!! 😀😀
