Hi, I'm new here
I have so many questions about taking my family from what I consider to be normal size to large-ish:
I have 3 boys...7, 5 and 1.
We were only going to have two but then decided we wanted one more which took longer to conceive so now we have a larger gap. Having 'just one more' has now put me in the position of wanting another (and soon) to even up the ages.
It would be my fourth caesarean. I had A LOT of pain on my scar during my last pregnancy and my worst of all recoveries. Any advice there?
We only live in a three bedroom house. With the small room being very small - bunk beds might fit but it would be tight. No option for loft conversion or extension. Can't afford to move until I work again (probably when youngest is at school). Does house space really matter?
We'd need s new car but that's not the end if the world.
I also HATE being pregnant and I'm 37, so no spring chicken. I think pregnancy gets harder with age maybe it's because life is more hectic. Any advice?
Also the only help I can get after c-section is an aunt, who doesn't live locally, coming to stay in our squashed house. Hubby could have a couple of days off but no more. No other relatives to help out. So going with the other three would be very hard.
In my mind it seems just a stupid idea to go for #4 but I can't shake the feeling.
Has anyone else been in a similar position ?
I really appreciate you taking the time to read all this.
