More children?

[karcarcor]

I have 4 wonderful, healthy kids atm but don't feel complete.
Am I mad wanting morre?
DH says he doesn't want anymore, and all my family and friends are split with their opinions.
So far all of mine are 2 years apart, so do I have another2 yr gap or wait until the youngest gets older?
I turned 30 last year, and (sorry everyone) and I feel like I'm getting too old for any more.
I also worry that I'd be pushing my luck trying for more because I have 2 of each sex, they are all healthy, etc,etc
Sorry, just thought if I get my thoughts out then it may help.

You're not mad! You're a Mum!

If my body had allowed it, I would have lots more!

I think it's something if you feel strongly about go for it! I can understand your feeling of 'testing fate' if you go on to have more considering your age (not that you are over the hill or anything) and also of having healthy kids. I think no matter if you have one or 10 kids the most important thing to worry about is if you have enough love for them, everything else is surmountable.

You're post sounds like me! We have two of each with 4.5 yrs from the first (my stepson tho) to the 4th's birth. I definitely want one more, Dp is not totally convinced about #5 but has agreed as he knows how much it means to me, we plan on trying once we get married in 12 months. Family and friends are split but most say 'you're mad'

I'm only 21 but I certainly feel a lot older with all of these children running around lol Age is not a factor for me so by that I could wait but I have had 3 csects and have been advised it is risky enough going again so do to do so within 5 years. If all goes to plan our age gap between #4 and #5 will be a little over 2 years (taking into account my bubs come early)

If you feel you want another one, definitely go for it and ignore any one elses opinion as theres doesnt matter :)

Hello

Your normal!! I have 4, and didnt feel complete either, Im currently baking number 5, 28 weeks!! Im 32, and my ages in kids are almost identical to yours, almost (98, 2000, 2001, 2003)..
I am rapt to be able to have another kidlet, my only fear is that after this bubba, Im still not going to feel complete!! (my hubby is already talking about #6 :rolleyes: )..
A midwife told me the other day that Im young, and could go on to have another 5 before my times up, although I seriously doubt my patience could..
If you want another, Id say, go for it, Im loving this pregnancy the best out of all my pregnancies!

Thanks everyone for your support. I think I needed to hear some positive comments.:)

Mummy2beagain - whereabouts in SA are you? I grew up in Munno Para and noticed your postcode was the same.
