Good lord - how do you all cope with so many pregancies?? I'm on my 2nd and did want 3 but am positively dying with this one. I am seriously wondering how you mange to do it 4, 5, 6 or more times..... were they all easy ones or something????

in rl, we are amongst the largest families around. we have three children.
i know of two familes with five kids, but the are seen as almost, but not quite abnormal.
i sometimes want to laugh when i hear about people complaining about getting something done when they have one child, and one baby! and how hard it is!

Putthat-Mine were definitely not all easy pregnancies! I had pre-eclampsia with DS1; DS3 was born at 32 weeks after premature rupture of membranes; DS4 was born at 34 weeks for the same reason. I had all kinds of problems with DS5, the main one being that my platelet level dropped to dangerous levels and I was in and out of hospital with that. But I still loved being pregnant!

Only DS2 is still living at home currently - the space and peace are blissful

I understand mine is a small family compared to some. I am in awe of people with 5+

MissPaulaYates · 05/04/2008 15:24

i like the way people call their one child of a certain sex ds1 or dd1 rather than ds or dd

speaks volumes!

Oblomov · 05/04/2008 15:31

So is Juuule, the winner?
I think of her when I think of football teams ?

MissPaulaYates · 05/04/2008 15:43

i think she has a good mix of ds/dd

i am more the footie team variety ( sigh)

MissPaulaYates · 05/04/2008 15:43

however juule is first followed by idobelieveinfaries

EmmaKn · 08/04/2008 13:50

Daughters play football too

and is no-one worried about global warming- I've just heard the best thing we can do to combact the end of the planet is stick to 2 kids each and it does make sense

YAP · 08/04/2008 14:01

Brave post, EmmaKn. I have only 2 kids but would love another. DH says we are too old at 40 and 44. There must be a few older mums and dads out there especially with some of the large age gaps.

aGalChangedHerName · 08/04/2008 17:26

I have 4 and won't be having anymore Unless of course the vasectomy fails (lives in hope)

ggg did you manage to get a hold of PI at all?

How do you all afford so many children? It must cost an absolute fortune. I struggle to pay for my two let alone eight or nine!
