NOOOOOOOO
Please dont.
There are many reasons for this.
1. As the number of children that you have rises, the amount of money you will be able to invest in each one will descrease.
It is a lot better if you have fewer children (which isn´t your case anyway) and can give a better living quality to easch one. I am not only refering to the amount of money you will invest in eachone ( food, clothes, education, entertainment ) but the time you will have available for each one.
2. Overpopulation in the world is a big issue and problem, becvause the world resources cant keep supplying for so many people. MAke sure you contribute, or at least not do the contrary, with this.
3. On a more personal note i believe you should be able to stop raising children which is an alltime consuming activity and start spending that time on yourself; enjoying and making the most of every minute you have . You are a very young woman so there are still manyyyyyy things you can do.

This should be a family decision, since it will affect the entire family. If you are going to have another one, doctor says do it by 35, the risks for both mother and baby are greater after that. I too wanted another baby at 35 until I realized I would be 53 before that child graduated high school. Whatever you decide, good luck!!

evaluate your day for a second. Making a list is the easiest way to do so, and see what you are doing during the day. look at how much time you spend with your kids. Do you have the time, energy and patience for another? The choice is up to you but it would be a good idea to ask you kids and your significant other their opinion. Remember your life isn't the only one that will be changing. Good luck!

If you want to have another child then do so. Just keep in mind that you are still raising 3 and aiding 1. You will need to consider if you are financially, mentally, and emotionaly ready, stable or prepared to take on another child. Those are just some of the things you need to look at.
Would you and your family be able to adjust at having a baby in the house?

Only you can really answer this question. If you want another child, do it. My kids are 25,22. and 13. I was 40 when my 13 year old was born. So it is never too late!

If you think you can handle another kid, I say go for it.
Be sure to get tested though, the older you are the higher the chance is of the kid ending up retarded.

I think it's absolutely normal to have another child. My mom had her last child when she was 44. We're 7 all together and the youngest one is 20 months old.
:) Give you 2 thumbs up!

Do you want another? And can you support another?
As long as you are well informed of all the issues involving pregnancy after age 35, and are willing to take the risk, I say go for it as long as you can support another child.

That is a decision you and your husband will discuss and you will know if it is God's will. I have 5 and I had two signs
#1. My husband had a gleam in his eye when he said " I want an "us" baby, a baby with a woman I really do love"....AHHh right?
#2 God gave me her name before we were pregnant
I didn't ask for signs but #5 is a blessing indeed!!!!!
Only downer is waiting 5extra years to have my husband ALL to MYself!
