4th, if 2 and 3 are twins

[LoudHam]

Anyone with this dynamic? On the one hand I feel like we are out of the woods. On the other hand I feel a bit sorry for my eldest being the odd one out! Any experiences?

Question is not really clear if I'm honest.

Don’t do it. Your risk of having twins again is high. We didn’t for this reason. I know several families with multiple multiples. Also mine are now moving towards uni age and it is £££££££!

If I’d been certain pg#3 would have been a singleton I probably would have done it at the time. I am glad I didn’t - I already feel there’s not enough of me to go round (particularly now more than when they were babies)

I decided against it, due to increased risk of twins again.
My singleton is a young adult now and says having twins as siblings (and no other siblings) was not an issue. I probably over compensated with my attention on him when dt were little so the negatives and positives probably balance out (as in any family with multiple dc).

Not happened to me but a DF who went on to have triplets.

Can you handle going from 5 to 8 overnight?

How old are they all now?

I have an older singleton and younger twins. I wouldn’t consider any more children, especially with the increased risk of another multiple pregnancy (fraternal twins) plus I’m too old. I also feel stretched emotionally and financially with 3, I wouldn’t put any further pressure on us.

My eldest (girl) occasionally gets a little jealous of the twins (boys) but the boys are completely different personalities and she plays a lot with the youngest twin, who is also very outgoing and sociable. The eldest twin is more introverted and enjoys his own company. They all seem happy enough with the dynamic.

We have this. It’s great for us. Having no 4 as a singleton after twins as 2 &3 was a dream… I love the dynamic between them all and having a big family. But it is undoubtedly a lot (they’re close in age and still little) and I sometimes feel divided thin- but I felt that with 3 too. I think after having twins the jump feels a lot less because- well, you’ve had twins…. It’s such a personal decision, but for us, the right one.
