Hi Mommas~ I have 3 little girls 5,4, 2 and one almost 18 year old (she lives with her dad in another state). I would really like to have another child before we're done. I am a sahm, 39, work from home. Here is my question.. I would like to hear from mom's who have 4 or more children. Going from 2-3 was no big deal for our family it was just natural. I take them all to the grocery and to the mall shopping, it can get crazy, but it is still workable. My husband and I both are thinking about should we or not? My husband is the last male in his family name and I think he would like to see the name go on. Are there things we should consider that we maybe over looking? It could be a girl, it could be a boy. Are we crazy for thinking about having another one when the others are so close together? What about when they are older? What are the issues then? Our hearts are big enough, our health is great, car will fit one more car seat...Thanks ladies!!
flash forward 10 years... how many teenaged girls do you want at one time? you will never see your bathroom :)
I have 4 boys. Your personal capacity for chaos expands with each pregnancy, just like it did the first three times. Going from none to one was the hardest, after that it's cake.
From your post, you have your answer -- make yourselves happy, and read "Taking Charge Of Your Fertility" for some great advice on how to time it for more % toward boy than girl. Nothing's 100% but if you don't load all your dice, you're missing your opportunities:)
Good Luck:)
I have 6 children. For me, going to 4 from 3 was a breeze! She fit right in (we had 3 boys first, then 3 girls). I was 39 with our 6th was born, and it was the best pregnancy and birth of them all. If you want more, I think you should, absolutely. There is no reason to hold back. They are such wonderful gifts and blessings. I cannot imagine our life without our youngest one. She is such a great delight to us! I think the older we get when having babies makes us appreciate them so much more. Enjoy! It sounds like you are definitely capable to have more.
If you are worried about your recovery from the next pregnancy this is what I learned from being in a midwifery practice for a few years. Thirty nine and a mother already no problem. Thirty nine with no other children high blood pressure, pregnancy diabetes and other problems can occur.
If you are healthy and want another go ahead.
I'm going to contact you personally with the name of an astrologer who can give you the right dates given your birth information to conceive a boy.
Four children are entirely manageable but when you get to six it's too many.
