Hello! 5th baby and just want to share.

[greenflowers]

Hello, I'm very excited to be having my 5th baby. 9weeks along now. Sadly I lost both of my parents since we had our last child who is now 4. I really miss being able to tell my mum about things, she was always the first person to know apart from hubby of course.

I have so much excitement and fear going around in me. As well as horrific morning sickness that I had somehow convinced myself i had luckily escaped this time.
I'm a bit scared of people being disapproving of us having another child as my husband has been very ill and is only just recovering. Part of me doesnt care as we have a loving family and the kids are happy healthy and well loved. But there is that nagging fear.

So, nobody knows about this baby and i wanted to be able to talk to someone.

Hello!

Welcome

Congrats on the new baby! x

Oh I'm so sorry you lost your parents, that's devastating I know how you feel a little, worrying about peoples' responses; this is our fourth baby and people already thought we were crazy having a third! But, like you, we have a happy loving family so that's the most important thing

Congratulations!

Welcome and congrats! Don't know how you do it, just had number 2 and my god it's hard trying to split my time between them. What is your secret lol

That said, I think I'd maybe like one more after I go back to work and already family have said "are you mad" So people like to stick their noses in and have opinions regardless. If you have no children, haven't had another child quick enough, have children close together, want another child. Screw anyone else's opinions. If you're happy, your kids are happy, that's all the matters in the end.

Welcome to PF. You should join your mummies group for the month you're due. I'm still in mine and found the girls incredibly helpful during pregnancy and still do. It's nice to be able to chat with ladies in the exact position you are . Good luck. Xx

Shan- for what it’s worth, going from 1-2 was a thousand times harder than going from 2-3. Something about going from 1-2 absolutely destroyed me. I don’t think any other transition will be that hard... or at least I hope, ha!

Haha I will tell OH that who goes deaf, dumb and blind when I mention having a third! It's definitely difficult trying to learn to breastfeed and still spend time with my eldest. I need three more hands and 12 more hours in the day lol xx

I agree, going from 1-2 was rather interesting but baby 3 and 4 just arrived and fitted in nicely. I mean your already doing the extra cooking and washing what's a few more poopy baby grows lol. Of all the things in worried about, looking after the baby as well as everything else is not one of them. Unless it's twins �� lol

Congratulations! I loved being part of a big family growing up - they'll all start to look after each other as they grow up
