IS THERE ANYBODY HERE WITH 7 KIDS OR MORE (& COUNTING!)

[RoseQuartz]

Hi there,
was just thinking, does anybody here have a large family?
I am preg with #7 and if all goes well - hope to have a few more!
dh and i are fast catching up with Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar..........their 17th baby is due next month!Would love to hear from mums of larger families...positive comments only plase, please don't post any nasty comments as we have enough of those on a daily basis!! thanks

I've only got two, but would love more if space and money etc allowed.

Good luck with the pregnancy

jofeb04........thanks for your nice comments! take care xx

Only 4 but would love lots more! The bigger my family gets,the better it gets! Hopeeverything goes well and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Can't believe you get so many bad comments. I think having a large family is lovely. Only 3 here....(at the mo )

I hope your pregnancy goes very well and you get lots of help with you other choldren so you can rest.
Good luck with finding other large families

Hats off to you ladies!

wow, well done you. I've only got four and that gets enough comments, so I know what you mean. It was quite upsetting when the twins were babies, and walking around with 4 under 5 got me some nasty comments. Have you any twins in your brood? There are quite a few of us on the multples thread with large families.

I can't help but wonder how you manage! I'm stopping now, although I would love another little girl, I couldn't go through the baby bit again, as having two boisterous toddlers is enough for me!

You lucky, lucky thing... Our 2 bed house is already full with 1 ds so looks like 2 will be our max but I want at least 6! I seriously you!

I'm sure this is naive but that anyone would have something bad to say about big families!

There is a mumsnetter called juule who, iirc, has 9 children! Hopefully she'll see this thread.

Congratulations and good luck

Only four here but you are an amazing inspirations. I could use some coping advice as I seem to be in over my head with 4...
I love the idea of a bigger family but do find the daily routine a bit of a nightmare! (Oddly enough it is not the little ones I find challenging but rather the tweenagers...) How old is your oldest and do you have help?

Well done you!

there was a poster called twinsxtwo mummy , and she has 8 children, but i think she's changed her name.

My midwife had 10 children. And she owns her own private birthing centre!

Hi Rose

Just wanted to say how fantastic I think large families are! If it were up to me I would have loads too!

Hi, I'm here with 9. Love having my largish family. Hard work at times and each age and stage throws up it's own challenges but I really wouldn't have it any other way. Have stopped counting now as unlikely to have any more due to reaching "that age that women reach"
Congratulations on lucky 7

Just one question,

How the feck do you do it?????!!!!

I find it hard with 2 and am frettng over what it will be like with 3!

I have 5 but would love more, dh wanted to stop at 4 and we would have but these things happen
I wonder if he will cope if things happen gain
