5 kids under 5 yrs - Real Mum story on MoM

8 Comments

We have recently found out we are expecting another baby. This will give up 5 kids under 5. Our first 3 were born with the assistance of IVF, as we were told we had less than 5% chance of naturally conceiving. Well, we were shocked and surprised when we naturally conceived my son, but didn’t think it could happen again, BUT IT DID. I am currently 8 weeks and have had very long and deep discussions with my husband, doctors and family as to whether we will keep the baby. I was always anti-abortion, but I am please to say after many tears and talks, we have decided to keep our baby. I am excited and happy, but also scared about the work ahead and also worried about others opinions. Do other MoM’s think we are crazy???

No I don’t think you’re crazy, although you very possibly could be after raiding your 5 babies

No you certainly are not crazy. You will be flat stick for a while but happy. Then it will slow down a bit as they get older.

Not crazy, I had 4 kids and whilst its noisy and crazy I wouldn’t have it any other way. Those first few years are hard but it gets easier as they get older.

Dont let what other people say bother you its none of there business. More the merrier I would have had more if could I didn’t have ny first till 35 due to infertility and then 2 at nearly 37 both were ceasereans. I would love to have another one but not sure if should or not . coz of ceasereans and age so yeah 5 is good, you go mummy

It will be hard work, but nice to have them all grow up together. I grew up as one of 5 kids & loved being in a big family. Always have someone to play with, talk to & share experiences with. As an adult I really cherish all my siblings even more.
The more the merrier I say
