Baby number 4

3 replies

CloMo1995 · 26/02/2020 12:27

I'm so scared, I've just found out I'm pregnant with baby number 4 and I have no idea what to do
I dont even have a clue on how far along I am. It would be somewhere in december/around Christmas I conceived because I was extremely poorly through December on and off and forgot to take my pill a number of times.
Anyway, I dont know if we can keep this baby, dont get me wrong, I would love to but theres a number of things stopping me, our financial situation, the fact that we would have 3 that are 4 and under and a 7 year old with adhd, my partners sister had a baby just before new years and I dont think it would be fair to have a baby so soon after her.
Me and my partner have both said we would like another baby when our youngest is about 6 or 7 and atm shes 17 months old.
Please could somebody share some positive story's from both sides? Keeping the baby and abortion? Before I do anything I want to make sure I'm making the right decision for us as a family.
Please no judgement as I'm feel like a fool as it is!

Hey OP, I have four children and like yourself I was sh**ting myself when I found out I was pregnant again. I went ahead with the pregnancy and don't regret it, I had 3 under 5 and it wasn't bad at all, infact the 4 year old and 2 year old really adored the baby and kept her entertained for ages. My oldest was 8 when the baby was born, and was also smitten with the baby x Do whatever is right for your family of course, but I love having 4 close together ,they have a great bond x

I've got 4 close together and currently pregnant with no 5. i thought it would be a financial disaster for us but honestly it's been fine. My children all get on so well. Your relatives new born shouldn't even be part of your decision making process. Going from 2-3 was hard but number 4 just slotted in.

My oldest was 7 when I had the 4th..
Going from 3-4 was easier than 2-3..
Never considered abortion.
Getting the 3rd into a good bedtime routine made things easier.
