Just found out we are having number 7 Shock bit worried as when i was having baby number 6 the medical professionals made me panic all pregnancy, telling me how dangerous it was as i had 5 already..
I had a great pregnancy, (apart from pelvis pain) Which only affected me,not baby..
I went a week over, and had a wonderful nearly pain free, quick easy labour.. Smile
Has anyone got good pregnancy stories from 7th plus pregnancies, to put my mind at ease before i book in to see my midwife.

7+ weeks with my 9th baby

Yes im on # 9 and due any day now. The pelvis pain is incredible! Not looking forward to nurses all asking me the same questions or making rude comments. I'm a pretty vocal lady, but who feels like snapping in the hospital. If you think I have too many that's your business, just dont share it with me.

I’ve just learnt I’m pregnant with baby number 7 I have 6 girls (24-22-13-11-7-4)
My older 2 don’t live at home they went uni and now live near by. My 22 year old has a son aged 1 so I’m now Nanny aged 39
So 40 next year 3 weeks before due date So not sure that all family will be ok with another addition, am I too old?
I know I can cope financially we will be ok
Me and my husband have not told them yet or anyone as only found out and just 6 weeks in. I’m scared as last pregnancy midwives scared me with there talk on how much I’m a high risk. All pregnancy I had fear of dying. They even said don’t have any more.
All my pregnancies I delivered at 38 weeks. All natural no pain relief no complications but they say the more you have the danger is high risk.
Has anyone had 7 children with age gaps simular like mine I would love to know I’m not alone 😊x

I have 7 and just found out expecting number 8 Smile

I'm the same as you op, easy pregnancies and births , I had all but the first at home, I switched to an independent midwife after baby number 5 as I felt they were making a big deal about me having a sixth and I've had her for last 2 pregnancies and for this one too. Would recommend if that's your thing and you can afford it Smile

My pregnancies have all been exactly the same, from first to last, I think your body just seals with it the way it does, doesn't matter how many you have, if you are fit and healthy.

Good luck ThanksCake

I loved being a mother to nine children, and was in my element.they were the best days of my life really.xx I am now guardian to my 10 year old grandson at 58 years young. And he tells me every day that he loves me.xx

I've got seven. I'm now a single mum full-time and haven't had sex in three years (not on purpose). I am def not planning on any more as I'm 33 and I have seven children. My youngest also happens to have Downs. And one of my 7yo girl just got diagnosed with Autism. I hope I don't ever have an eighth, but I am glad I have all seven.
