hi I am due number 5 in 4 weeks from same dad to. I am a bit worried about coping buts thats cause I have 2 teenage girls who take up more time and energy than little ones.
congratulations and be pprepared for all the negative comments(

wow!!!! I'm on the end of my first pregnancy and I can't even imagine being pregnant 6 times!!! That would be 4.5 years of pregnancy in a total of 9 years in your case! Amazing.

And by the way, congratulations!

so far I only have one, but one day I would love to be in your shoes! You must have very quick labours by now?

YouCantTeuchThis · 03/04/2010 14:47

congratulations! 2 here, but just wishing you all the best!

Expecting no6 in dec too )

Actually really nervous and dreading the thought of telling anyone as peoples reactions can be horrible if you have more than three, well in my experiance anyway.

DH and i are keeping quiet for the moment

How are you feeling? I'm completely wrecked and feel so sick.

Oh forgot to say my dc are 9,7,4,3,and 1

Would love to keep intouch, take care x

Hi, all being well i am due to have baby number 6 Nov/Dec time
Dreading peoples reactions too.

My children are 12,10,8,6, and 2.

I'm a married SAHM. My eldest child is severly disabled and one of my son's has ASD. I cope well enough though, i enjoy having a large family (with the exception of cooking, laundry and costs of days out and hols).
Me and my husband are very happy, though this will be the last.

Anyway nice to see a few other people expecting number 6

Wow - just wanted to say congratulations!! And how lovely to have 3 of each!

I am only pg with No. 2, would like 3 in total (I am a bit older and want to be done with pregnancy and b/feeding by the time I'm 40)

My friend is expecting her 4th, married to the father since before DC1 and been with him for eaons, SAHM devoted to her kids, and she still got some really negative comments from people. I was so surprised! Her SIL tore strips off her, by all accounts - I honestly don't know what's wrong with some people.

Wishing you all the best.
