Aww wish i had loads of kids, i just have 2 and would like 4 or 5, problem is i hate being pregnant!

A friend of mine is pregnant with number 7, she has 5 boys and 1 girl and is keeping this one a surprise.

Awww vito that's lovely that your friend isn't finding out this time, I didn't on my last and it was very special :)

I reckon you should have just one or 2 more... I don't have great pregnancies either and end up a non-walking mess with SPD/pgp but I wouldn't stop me having 10 more!!

Bit late to this but we have 4 under 8s, 2 boys and 2 girls. Our youngest is 3 and 8 months, so very close together!!! We found it very hard when they were all very young but now that the youngest is nearly 4 it is amazing and they are all very close (although we have lots of arguments too!)

A mere 4 here, but well spaced out - I take my hat off to those of you with 4 or more close together.

I still get broody despite the fact I havent had a full nights sleep in 15 months!

But the risk of having twins again is enough to make it go awayGrin

lookingforbaubles · 11/05/2013 22:22

officially 5 but add in 2 girl friends and a besty friend who seem to live here makes 8

not some thing i had considered when they were younger, 5 dc actually results in 10 for breakfast/lunch/tea!

5 here. 4ds and 1dd. I've been surprised how many others have the same combination. Everyone assumes we were waiting on a girl as dd is the youngest but that was never the case. I'd love one more but my body is no longer willing!
