Hi, I have just found out I'm pregnant with number 5. I have 4 gorgeous kids and am 40 years old. Everything going really well and feel like I'm totally past the whole 'baby' thing and finally have time for my husband and myself and our family as a whole. Have no help from family or outsiders and my husband works very long hours to support us. Have always wanted 4 kids and am lucky to have them. However, I am on the pill and take it as I should but I have just found out I am pregnant!! Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you do? My head is telling me we absolutely cannot cope with another child (or twins even cos of my age). I am older now and we don't have space at home, time/finances are stretched as it is etc etc and my heart is telling me to look at it as a blessing and we'll get through it and be ok. Totally split and don't know what to do but obviously need to decide soon (and don't want to regret whatever we decide). Thank you.
