i love my big famiily and if i could have more after this one i probably would but i cant due to me needing treatment i think the more my pg progresses i think the easier im getting wound up by it so i will have to just either grit my teeth or just not talk to the people you know your going to get it off

some nurse from the childrens outpatients commented on how many kids i have today DO PEOPLE NOT CLICK THAT MAYBE WE TAKE OFFENCE TO BEING QUESTIONED ABOUT WHY WE HAVE SO MANY CHILDREN really its fooking me off .why cant they just be happy for you i mean after 4 boys im having a little girl people just cant get past the fact its my 5th baby . i mean my mum knew how much i longed for a little girl and even she cant understand even though all our kids are loved and well cared for . The thing that gets me also is when people pretend to understand or say things like i wouldnt personally but i think your a wonderful person for having so many .
sorry rant

oj i just ignore the comments because i know they are ignorant and unfounded. and regarding different fathers i know many women with multiple children from different relationships one has 6 and each one has a different dad but they are all well looked after and fantastically behaved and are all lovely happy children.
only my first isnt my dh's but dh has been bringing him up as his own since he was two years old and has done a fantastic job especially compared to his sperm donor dad who hasnt seen him since he was 3. to us all of our children are mine and dh's and when asked he says they are all his because as far as he is concerned they are as he treats them all the same.
i feel pretty lucky because i have two of each sex so dont get the comments regarding sex of child anymore but i remember it well when i had the boys and people assumed we were trying for a girl with our 3rd i just used to laugh at some of the really stupid comments i can imagine the frustration when you have had lots of one sex child and people feel the need to comment.

I had number 3 in feb and would love more - I also could give birth for england lol my dp on the other hand is a little more negative to how I feel but its only because he doesnt understand the joys of feeling them growing and having them (ok it hurts but in a good way IYKWIM) I think if I can force one more kid out of him lol that will be it for me
he will not go to any more and #4 is definatly unsure just yet! did you ever find that when you got to an odd number of kids they would use the younest to fight over if they all fell out? I do worry about that... I have a 4 yr gap between my lil dd and my ds and I worry that when my girls fall out he will be used not only because he's that much younger but also a boy and he'll be pulled from pillar to post..Natalie

Hello
I have 8 children and would love another baby. I have 1 girl and 7 boys ages 13, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 2, and 9 months old. Whats makes me mad is all the comments you get. All my children have the same Dad but people just assume that because I have so many then they can't possible have the same Dad. Also My girl was 1st and the amount of pople that have been downright rude when I have announce the births of the boys by saying oh no not another boy, its so hurtful. One lady even came up to me and said that she was so sorry to hear my news. Grrrr Anyway sorry for rant My name is Sarah and I am from Scotland and it would be lovely to get to know you girls.

how has everyones weekend been? mine has been busy as usual, i have been thinking a lot this weekend about things for the baby as i dont know whether to buy things bit by bit or to save up and buy it all near the end, i cant wait for august as we are off to butlins and i am really looking forward to it, i wish i had booked it for july like i normally do but i thought the weather might be better in august, i am dreading how much weight i will put on though as we go half board and its buffet style eat as much as you want lol....

ouch hun know how you feel i had excruitiating ones with my third i would get them for 6 hours a day they would be regular and painful which bh arent supposed to be but there were bh.
with my last one i took rasberry leaf capsules to see if that helped was advised to take them from 34 weeks onwards and i didnt get a single bh with her or after pain i will be doing the same this time for sure.
