Yes.

hunkermunker · 07/11/2006 00:10

But do it!

Or not.

Do you feel "finished" yet? Can you afford another one?

Do it Do it Do it!!!!!

I have 2 ds's aged 15 and 11 and 2 dd's aged 2 and 15 weeks.

Is fab having 4 and i am glad we went on and added to our family.No 3 was meant to be the last but no4 has been the best yet cos i now feel my family is complete.

If you really want no4 you may regret it if you don't do it.

we are expecting no 5 on 23rd nov. biggest problem we have had is finding a suitable car. Luckily 2 oldest dds at university otherwise we would need a bus!! Even though coping with the needs of so many children feels like juggling eggs at times, I still would not change it for the world.

good luck if you decide to go ahead

does having number three make it anymore of a juggle, going from 1 to 2 was fine, number 3 was harder how did you fine adding number four?

According to this some women in the UK have had VBACs after 2 (or even 3) c-sections.

Good luck with whatever you decide .

Hi busybuthappy, my consultant was really against me having a vbac after 2 cs, and because I am quite paranoid about taking risks I gave in. It might be worth asking your midwife which consultant is more favorable to normal births before you register at the hospital, at least then you are likely to get more supportive messages that I did.

Hi I have 4 and am pg with 5. I also have had 2 c/s and hoping for a VBAC (have had 2 in past but after 1 c/s) My last natural labour was 10 mins and the last emergency c/s was complicated hence I want natural birth if poss. Having 4 is great if you like mess and noise!!! I love it.

busybuthappy · 07/11/2006 11:31

hi steggers thanks for advise this time I would like to have a say in whats going on with labour but my last consultant also but his foot down bout delivery, some times a say would be nice.

Hi, I've just found out I'm pregnant with no.4 - my DS is 5.5, DD is 3.5 and DD is 20 months. I'm thrilled as we had really wanted another. Somehow we felt our family wasn't quite complete with 3 and I think that after this i will be content to say this is it, no more. Saying that I am exhausted and cna't ever remember being so mind numbingly tired in the 1dst trimester like this before! Worth it though. We're not really well off or anything - I suppose you'd say comfortable - but if money was an issue I wouldn't have any children!! Do it if it's what you both want - if DH hadn't been so keen (4 was initially his oidea) i don't htink I'd do it.
