4th pregnancy .. anyone else?

[xkatyx]

Hi, just found out i am pregnant with my 4th

is anyone else be nice to talk to and go through it together as it is a tad scarey

Hi xkatyxI have seen you on a couple of other threads. Congrats.

I am 27 weeks with Number 4, which is a boy, I have DD1-7, DS1-6 and DS2-4 so I have left a bit more of a gap this time and DS2 will be at school in September so will be totally different for me this time round.

I have seen on other threads you have a very small gap this time round, I did this with my first 2 (not quite as close as you) 14 months between mine, just to make you feel better I loved the small gap and they are very close now. Everything was a bit easier potty training ect cause they did it together.

I am starting to really look forward to little one arriving, but it seems to be to taking ages . How are you feeling? do you have MS yet?

Congratulations!

Yes, I am expecting our 4th as well. I am 7 weeks so due 23rd December. Eldest is 6 at the end of January so next year is going to be busy in this house : )

I am on number 4 I have ds8 dd5 ds4 and a sd who is 19 so technicaly 5 but my 4th pg xx enjoy i am 19+2.

Congratulations to you all. Yes I have a small gap my baby is only 4 months. Me and my dh are happy and excited. Did you find you got negative comments???
I found out yesterday a friend who was actually supposed to be my best friend has said some very hurtful things behind my back and I was so angry and hurt yesterday that should could say that!!

No morning sickness as yet as only 4 weeks and a day I think, still very early days. Been having backaches and light period aches so at that joyful part of worrying.
It's silly as it wasn't long ago but I seam to forget .. All these aches are normal right???? There not pains just aches.

Even though this little bubba was a supprised it will be a welcome supprised as we are very family orientated not ones to go out with out kids all the time so to us it really isn't a burden as some people think.

Thank u for reassuring me about the age gap, I think it will be great as how me and dh look at it is yes first year or 2 will prob be hectic and a bit of a blur but we will have the big family we always wanted and we will enjoy it.

This little one is due around January 12/13th but I usually get gestational diabetes and get induced early so I'm thinking a dec baby. Or my last baby was born 5 weeks wary as she just couldn't wait to get out

Gosh look at me rambling on.

Hope we an all stay in touch and share it all together

Hi Ladies
Sorry for hijacking your thread... I'm only on pregnancy no.3 (got DS-4, DD-2) currently 15 wks with no 3... and since falling preg husband has said we should go for a 4th after this 3rd!.

I just picked up on something xkaty said... I've had some REALLY surprising & not too nice comments from so called friends when telling them i'm expecting no3... really upset me. Our DD was very poorly at 1yr old & nearly died.... after many wks in hospital, she's absolutely fine, but lots of people have reacted to my pregnancy by saying "oh after everything you've been through, why would you risk any more children" and many well meaning friends have said "oh I wouldnt ever risk any more children after having 2 healthy kids, what if you had something terribly wrong with the 3rd, you'd regret having it". It has left me feeling so upset that people think like that, a baby is created in love, & you love it no matter what... just wondered if anyone else has had such comments (apart from the usual "oh was it an accident?" question I frequently get)? I was shocked that is what other mums think about having >2 kids...
Anyway, good luck with your 4ths (sorry to hijack! sensitive hormones in overdrive!)....xx

I've just finished my 3rd pregnancy but I have 5 kids now due to having 2 sets of twins and the eldest is 4!! Twin girls are 2.5 and now newborn twin boys. We had some negative comments but balls to them and if I found out a friend had bitched then they wouldn't be a friend anymore!!

The boys are only 2 weeks so yes it's bedlam in my house but I love it but won't be having anymore as my body can't cope with more pregnancies which are likely to be multiple ones too!

I'm currently pregnant with number 4 as well. We have gotten very mixed responses (though have only told his parents (negative but supportive), his grandmother (very happy for us), and a pair of friends by accident (happy, though made negative 'accident' jokes until I set him straight!).

During my third pregnancy, I got many similar comments icravecheese, particularly from people who couldn't understand why we'd want more after having a boy and a girl (as if we only have them to have the matching set!). Actually had a postnatal midwife laugh at me after my second when I said my husband wasn't going to get fixed and we were happy for more! Some people are just closed minded and insensitive.

Hello also on dc4, 20+6, I have dd age 6 ds1 4 and ds2 2, we dont know the sex if this one.

Ds1 starts school in sept and ds2 will start preschool so it won't be to bad I hope

I just can't believe how rude some people are!!!

I never got to many bad comments when pregnant with dc3 but always hot asked if the baby was my first and shocked when I said no my 3rd!!

My goodness some people. I kind of had an argument with this friend of mine today, she is denying the while thing etc. I give up to be honest why people think they have the right to comment I don't know!!!

xkatyx i have to ask how you found out that your best friend did say those things and what was in it for the person who told you? if I heard someone say something so negative about someone else I would never tell the person because I know they would be upset so I would be more annoyed and suspicious of the message giver in this instance! why would they say anything? it makes me cross congrats on your 4th preg, I'm on my third and last cos I'm 44 so just be glad that get this one!

Im 12 weeks pregnant with no 4, does anyone else look huge with this pregnancy compared with the last ones? I have dds 10,5 and 3 :)
This pregnancy was a suprise and with my boyfriend who i've only been seeing 6 months so we've not really told people yet. My parents were negative but his are over the moon as its his first. I'm expecting the comments off people about having 4 children and had them when I announced number 3 but take no notice. SO many women aren't lucky enough to get to have one so I think of it that I'm very lucky to have 3 healthy girls and another one on the way. Its the 'bet your desperate for a boy' comments that piss me off more and if its a girl some daft bugger will say poor you and have their heads bitten off

Hi,

erm well another friend told me.

To be honest whether its true or not a friend has said it, being the one who told me or the one who was suppose to .. very upsetting.

I suppose i could understand if me and my husband were upset or something but still very unwanted coments.

I have an appointment at EPU tomorrow just to check how far i am as im not 100% sure .. really nervous.

28wks with dc4 here. Can't wait!

I've had some really comments like why have more when we have a mixture already, did we think about termination , someone said 'I bet your dh wanted to get rid of it'.

TBH, it's now water off a duck's back but it was hard in the beginning.
