Oh feck I'm pregnant again

[SomebodySaveMe]

We already have DS (3), DD (2 next week) and DSD (5). I haven't told DP yet he's going to freak out. He was adamant no more children.
Realistically how difficult is it with a large family? I'm supposed to be learning to drive so I guess I need to get a 7 seater but which is best?
Do your children like being one of several as opposed to just one of two or something?

My head is spinning.

Aww, no advice as I'm pregnant with pfb, but congrats! You'll be blessed to have such a big family =] I hate the stereotype of "you want how many?!" just enjoy it, he'll come round

Its is good once you get into a routine, say around the time baby is 2-3 weeks it all comes together, before that im afraid its chaos but well worth it.
I was quite proud of myself when i first managed to get out the house for school run on time with nappy bag etc packed just right.
You do sacrafice a lot in the way of the time it takes to get ready in mornings but it becomes a natural phenomenon after a while.
There are tough days when all my little uns fight and make tons of mess but i wouldn't have it any other way and all the other times are lovely with my four girls.
People say im mad, but they dont quite realise how lucky i am .
Its chaos but happy chaos and im even contemplating 2 more dcs in time, preferebly when youngest starts school as the gaps are 3 1/2 yrs between dd4&dd3, 23mo between dd3&dd2 and 22mo between dd2&dd1 so want a bigger gap this time.
Your dh maybe shocked at first but don't worry it shall pass, why dont you wrap the poas like a present and get him to unwrap it ?

Congratulations katsziiina

Last time I told him about DD he asked me to have an abortion. I said no and he wouldn't speak about anything baby for 6 months and didn't go to the scans.
He worries that the DCs will miss out on things the more we have and about money etc.

This thread is just the same as the one I was reading yesterday morning about someone's dh wanting her to have am abortion.

How awful for both the op's. I hope it works itself out. One good thing is that you won't have to buy anything so that will save some money. All the best x

You can always give it to me!

3.5 years ttc and still no luck. How hard can it be?!

Oh sorry mrsconfused I must sound like a bitch when there's people desperately trying to conceive. I want this baby and I know eventually he will come around its just the months waiting for that to happen!
And I freecycled all the baby stuff. Must be sods law

1. Congratulations :)

2. If he is adamant he doesn't want more, he should have a vasectomy. This is his "fault" too.

My sister's number 5 oops is arriving in July. Large families are fab (if different from smaller ones).

Congratulations btw. Good luck with the announcement.

Mrsconfused back in the dark days before DD3 arrived (6 years ttc) I actually thought my friends who were expecting triplets (2 years after twins) could easily spare one.

I've got 3. Expecting dc4. It's not that chaotic. Well, apart from the fact any child can bring chaos. Other dcs just have to fit in with the family life.

I make lots of soups and stews to fill them up!

I've no advice sorry, I've just the one dc and am still ttc a 2nd, but I'd love a big family like you're soon to have :) congratulations. A couple of my friends come from big families and I used to love going round to theirs for family dinners etc, they were all so close and now they've all had kids of their own their even closer.

Tell him to sign up for the snip now!
I would wait until passing the 3 month mark before making any plans. If it's any consolation, 3 -> 4 was alright for me (unlike 2->3).

I only have one but I have three siblings and three step-siblings. I love being part of a big family and haven't suffered for it, I don't think. Congratulations!

I was thinking about getting sterilised afterwards! I might put it on the list to discuss with the dr
I'm actually really excited. Nervous about telling him but I don't think I could hide it for 9 months and act surprised

I have 5 children and 2 more on the way. Igrew up in a larger family there was 9 children. My partner is one of 18 and we love being one huge family espicially at Xmas its just so much fun with all the little ones there is now. And yes it's stressful at times and I've sacrificed a lot but I wouldn't be with out them at all.
There has been times when I've gone out and not realised I've only put mascara on one eye or still got my slippers on walking the children to school. But when were all together there is no better feeling .
