Ok ... there are ttc # ?? threads and I wonder where I fit :o

I have had 4 pregnancies, carried 5 babies and now have two gorgeous living children, two 2nd trimester angel bubs and one precious angel dd forever 9 days old.

So ... am I ttc #3, 4 or 6?

In my eyes, I have 5 children already and they are always all counted.

I'm not distressed by this question - just wondered how you would categorise me???

I never know the answer to that myself, to people i know i say i have 5 kids, to people who dont know of my loss i say 4 kids but always really want to say 5, but dont want to give them a big story.

I guess just go with what makes you feel comfortable. Its a hard one really.

Often i just say i have 5 children but we lost one 2 years ago. I guess in your situation, you have alot more explaining than i do.

Often my older children bring it up and i have to explain anyway.

You fit where ever you want. I'm sorry to hear about your losses, i read Ruby's story and can't imagine the grief you have been through she was a gorgeous little girl :hugs: You don't have to go to any ttc# threads i'm not in any just the general i don't think it really matters what number child you are ttc we're all trying to do the same thing.

I would say TTC#6 as you have had 4 pregnancies & conceived 5 babies so the next time you will be trying for Baby number 6 :yelclap:.

I wonder the same thing about myself, is this baby no 2 or 3? Feels like it should be 3, but then I don't have 2 running around at home so it's not like I have much to say in groups 'pg with no 3' as my experience is a lot different IYKWIM. So I just kinda hang out wherever? :confused:

:iagree: Yup, me too. I will always say i have 2 kids so far, i carried both and gave birth to both so i have 2. Its just DS walks next to me and DD walks with me in my heart. This is my 3rd preg.
So, i guess just go with whatever you feel comfortable with. Float around everywhere, thats what i do lol
:hugs: to you Ky!

Thanks ... I was curious.

Big hugs to all of you who have the same question - it's not right that we have to be in this position, but we must be pretty strong to continue on our journey despite missing our little ones :hugs:

Again ... thanks :flowerz:
