Hi, I have 3 children (7,5 and just 3). DH has always quite liked the idea of 4 - he is one of 4. Anyway, we never ruled it out and threw caution to the wind the other night, although did think these things the next morning:
- I am 3 stone overweight - one kept for each pregnancy. And had a sort of plan to spend this summer losing weight, getting fit and having some treatment for rosacea which isn't recommended while pregnant. Then I was going to let nature take over in the winter if we still felt the same way.
- I will be 41 in June so the risks of various things are higher and I feel the impact is greater when you already have 3 children - more implications to consider so should I have all the tests going?
- REALLY annoyed with myself about not losing weight first - worth repeating!!
- Just setting up a business with DH so timing not perfect but when is it ever?!
- Wanted to take the children travelling for 6 months when they are older. Think I still could?!
- Depsite lots of concerns, when it occurred to me this morning that my period was definitely not showing up and bought a test and guess what...very positive. BUt VERY early days not not saying anything to anyone but DH yet.
We have a 4 bed house and can all fit in easily. They all share at the moment so not stuck on all having their own rooms. Already have a people carrier. And lots of stuff.
Drank lots of wine at the weekend. And had 3 fags after none for 2 years. Went mad at a party.
Not sure what I'm asking really. No sister or mum to talk to - just wanted to list thoughts.
PS First reaction when I saw the two lines was a big grin. Guess that says a lot. Same from DH.
