Thinking about baby No5 ��

[Beckz34]

Hi ladies, I'm 34 and have 4 children already. They are 16, 13, 11 & 7. Three boys and one girl (11). Thing is I'm very broody and have been for a while. I'd love another one but not sure what to do . Any advice? xx

If you can provide for them, then why not?
If you are struggling materially then I don't think it is very kind to the rest of your DCs. Although, by no means is money everything, you need enough of it to stop them worrying about it. If you are worrying then your DCs will be as well. I had a best friend who came from a home where there was always a worry about money, and it dominated her young life.

They have all got GCSE and A levels in front of them and will need quite a lot of your attention and time. They may need quite a lot of emotional support as well.

If you are a happy go lucky sort and so are they, then it will be fine.
What does your DP think? Is it important that he wants another? You don't say.

I'd say go for it, but I'm 36 & 25w with no.5 so totally not qualified to advise not having another I have one boy(13) and three girls (10,8 & nearly 5), new baby is also a girl

I have 3 and feeling broody too but know that 4 would be insane for our family. I think that where babies are concerned, you need to think with your head, and not your heart.

Thank you all my husband is self employed and happy with whatever I decided as I'm the one that brought it up lol. We are a very happy go lucky lovely family. I just don't want to keep putting it off as I'm nearly 35 and my youngest is 7. Xxx
