First time ever posting 😕
Im 25 later this year, I have 4 baby's ages 5,4,3,2 expecting 5th baby just found out, question is:
How did you tell your family? Friends?
How did they respond?
Was routine easy to get in to when 5th arrived?

Hi I have 5 too ages range from 2-17
I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks last year and when I told my family I was pregnant they was like "another one" I just ignore them. If I want to have 6 I will have 6 lol

When I had my first 3 I was only 20 but had bags of energy and soon got them into routine, 4&5 have just slotted in that and have been no trouble.

5th labour was the quickest but by far the most painful even recovery was hard.

Congratulations and best of luck x

Hi OP,
I'm new here as well and I'm a mum of 6 (13, 11, 11, 9, 6, 2) I'm 50 and so grant that my situation is a bit different from yours. My sisters all have big families and so my family took it pretty well- though they may have been eye rolling a bit by the end. None of my labours have been too difficult, even with twins, but it was definitely quicker by the end. I've always done routine from birth- it's definitely easier. A lot depends on finances, too- how are that side of things?
Anyway, I'll wish you luck.
