OK so my DH has just told me that he will try for another DC if I want!

I have 3 DC, 7,4 and 3 months. I always said if I had 3 then I'd have 4 (don't like odd numbers and I was one of three (another story).

Anyway when trying for no3 I had my 2nd ectopic pregnancy (have had one each side . We decided to take 1 more chance and go for no3 and luckily we got our beautiful baby girl. But we agreed what ever happened we would not try again mainly because of the risk of another ectopic.

I do feel sad that my baby will not be a baby for long and my girls are growing up (too fast!) and when I look at DD3 I think how could I not want to do it again?

It is tempting.........

Good luck!

Although I always wanted 4 (round number thing too!) we are now having #5 and for health reasons this will be our last.

I have to admit I will find it hard saying good bye to 'babyworld' but watching the girls grow up is lovely and we will be able to do more and more instead of being slighlty restricted with a baby in tow! Think (and hope) I will be ready to move on too!

Yes we have all girls! Very pink house here we went for 5 after an accident last year which ended in an early miscarriage and put my head into a spin of actually it would be lovely to have one more, gave ourselves a deadline of end of Feb ( I would have gone bananas otherwise!) and 5 sneaked in against the odds! Due in October
Oh be prepared for comments! Everyones favourite is 'going for the boy then' which annoys me because obviously we would like a healthy baby either sex will be fine!

Ahh thats lovley MD I'm glad you got your PFP in time! I've had loads of those comments, are you going to try for a boy?, Did you want a boy etc? I feel the same as you I did'nt mind what sex at all and loving having 3 girls.

Thanks gardeningmum Did you fine the leap from 3 to 4 hard? I found 1 to 2 really tough and 2 to 3 (so far) fine.

Good luck with whatever you decide, I have 7 and it's much easier having lots of kids than just a couple I think :-)

Thanks mummy2many. Wow, I can't believe 7 is easier than 2. Is it because they play together, excuse typing I'm feeding.
