I'm 27 married with 3 children 2, 3.5 & 5.5 debating about having another one, but would really love to hear advice from any mothers out there who have 4 children... Thank you.

I really think you have to go with your gut instinct. I have 5 daughters, all under the age of 6 and I am pregnant with my 6th. My daughters are 6 ,4, twin 3 year olds, and an 18 month old.
People call me crazy all the time. I don't think it's crazy at all. You just really have to think things through. My daughters are all very well taken care of. I've been married to my husband for 8 years now and we are still happily married. Our financial situation permits us to have such a large family. Those are all factors you have to consider.
But mostly, think of yourself too. Do you think you are capable? And by that I mean in terms of mentally and emotionally. It's really hard to enjoy your children if you are constantly stressed out over how hectic life can be.
My personal opinion would be to go for it if you think you're ready. With your youngest being 2, it'll be easier than if you still had another baby to raise.
I wish you the best of luck ever. Please feel free to email me if you would like to talk more at all : )

if you have the income to support the child, and by income i mean from you or your hubby not the state (no offence!!) Then yes you should have another if that is what you want, your kids are so close together what about waiting a while for the 4th? My friend jsut got pregnant with her 4th and is happy but her kids are a little farther apart thatn yours. again, no offence intended by my first comment !! Its just that so many people are on state welfare why add to it? Hope all are well and Happy. Good luck if you are going to try again.

You should have as many children as you feel comfortable with; my grandmother had 13 children. I personally have four children, and I love them each dearly. They are not hard to take care of, if you are financially set. And with the ages of your other children, a four child would be perfect. The age group of your children is wonderful. Good Luck sweets.

I don't have four kids, only two. But I feel that if you are financially capable and you have the patience and the love for four children, GO FOR IT! The more the merrier! Just make sure that there isn't any oldest/middle child syndrome. Good Luck and God Bless you and your family

I've heard from a couple of moms with larger families that the one with the most stress/biggest change was from five to six.

Ask yourself this: Does your family feel complete, or does it feel like something is still missing? Can you afford another child? Going from two to three is hard - three to four is no sweat.

you should have another. but only do if you are finacealy stable. you can buy food, toys, and clothes. but you probably wont need to but clothes and toys since you have 3 kids already! i say go for it! and congrats
