not at all,i am 26 with 4 children,2 boys aged 7 and 9mths, and 2 girls aged 11 and 5,and yes i was a mum at 15,to all the people who noticed and had to add me on to their answer,but my children all have the same father,and we are still together.its nice to have children at such a close age,as you'll find that they will be close to each(like my 5yr old daughter and 7 yr old son,thick as theives)also you've got more energy.if you and your partner feel that you can cope,then go for it girl,its your decision,good luck and hope all goes well.

Its not up to anyone else to comment!! Its your life its up to you what you do your the person that has to get up to the children when they are ill!! So if you think the times right to have another child then have one, only you and your partner knows what is right for your family. Good luck.
By the way I have four children 16, 10, 3, and 1 and its hard work!!

if you can afford to give them a safe life and have the strength to take care of 4 children regardless of were your life takes you then go ahead. Just remember children are not property but I'm sure you already know that. If I were you I would concentrate on the 3 precious once you already have.
Good luck

If you and your husband both are ready I say go for it. My two little ones are only 11 months apart. If your husband is the reason why you ask then I say don't make any decisions that you might regret later. you are a team without one another the family unit tanks. I know single mothers can do a great job but it is still not the same.

it's entirely up to you and your partner. If you're financially secure and you're already coping with all the responsibilities of being a mother then there is no problem with having another child ... so what if you're 24! ... That doesn't make you a better or worse mum than a woman who is 30!

i have 2 sides of opinion towards your question:
bad points:
1.in august my mum conceived, the trouble was she had a baby of 13months, she was worried couldn't cope so she had a termination for the best.
2. will your partner be there for you.
3.could you cope with the school runs finding a job etc.
good points.
1.your 18month old baby will have a play mate.
2. you'll have another one to spoil.
3.to be able to show your baby off.
the thing is the jealousy between your youngest and a newborn .
they will be evil gestures made from your youngest so far
i.e.getting frustrated with the baby crying and hitting the baby

who cares what people think?! This is your life and you have to do what makes you happy. If you think you can handle having four children and all your kids are getting loved and cared for then noone else (especially complete strangers) should tell you what you should do. Be a good mother to your children and be happy. Life is too short to live otherwise.

Sweetheart I would at least wait until I am married before I thought about having another child at such a young age. Once married then I would say go for it as long as you can afford to take care of them. I love to see a large family.

This is up to you! You cannot ask total strangers if you should have another kid! You know if you want one or not! Do you want another child? YES or NO? If yes, then have one! If no, then do not have one! SIMPLE!
Robert h is right, I have 4, 18yr old, 17yr old, 14yr old and a 2 yr old........the 2yr old is the cheapest to keep, the 17 yr old is the most expensive!-he likes designer clothes- the 18yr old, we have to pay uni fees! Kids, at the end of the day are bloody expensive, but worth it-some times!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely!! Keep having as many as you want. If you and your husband are both wanting more kids, who cares what anyone else thinks! I come from a family of 7 kids and my hubby comes from a family of 10... if you feel like you can handle 4 kids - go for it!!
The more the merrier, right? :)
