Baby number 4!

[alainala]

Hi guys, I've just found out I am pregnant with baby number 4! (Line was very faint but still there) My kids are 10, 8 and 5. I'm worried and excited at the same time. We had talked about it but hadn't decided what we were going to do yet. It's come as a bit of a surprise to me as we literally had unprotected sex once and we had trouble ttc our last 2 children.
Another thing I'm concerned about is I have already had 3 cesareans and I'd have to have a fourth. Is having four cesareans dangerous?
I haven't told my husband yet as he is out of town on work for the next few days.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Can’t offer any advice on c sections I’m afraid. I have 4. They are 7,5,3 and 7months. We only really tried a couple of times for number 4 and we kind of hadn’t completely reached a decision by the time I fell pregnant (so I understand your surprise! ) It’s quite a scary time I remember and I wasn’t totally confident we’d made the right choice. I can’t say the pregnancy was without stress and anxiety (but that’s me!) What I can tell you is how completely amazing the other kids and my husband have been, and how totally gorgeous and easy the baby has been. Any questions I can help with, more than happy. Good luck!

I have very similar age gap, currently 11, 9, 5 and 11 months. It's been tough but really lovely so far, not so much because of the 4 but other factors (house move, school places shenanigans, builders, homeschooling etc etc). The loveliest thing is how much the biggest adore the baby. Good luck x

Thanks guys for your advice! Makes me feel a bit better. Trying to keep it to myself for now until hubby gets home because I don't want to tell him over the phone.
