Luck you! I'm not being sarcastic either children are wonder full and its rare to have quads so u are lucky, my aunt had quads now she has six , she found it hard the first few weeks but after that it gets easier, with your 8 and 6 yr old they would be at school most days so that's that sorted, your 3 and 2 yr olds will love babies!!!!! you can let them know they are still loved by getting them involved, let them help with changing diapers ex. let them pass you the powder or let them help by putting dirty clothes in the wash basket even maybe en roll them in a daycare pre-school centre where they will become social and learn as well as have fun with your four bubs that will be tricky you might want to hire some help if need be, 4 screaming babies could be hard, be aware that the government will help. talk to your money provider or local doll centre type thing they have parenting benefits and possibly go to classes at health centres for advice before you have them, good luck and be sure to post a photo of your 4 beautiful delights when they arrive, let us know at answers how things are going.... good luck :-} ...............Ashleigh

You will manage, don't worry! Hire a nanny, and just have faith in yourself. Enough love can make almost any family work. I have 7 (3 year old triplets and 2 month old quadruplets) Yes, i have the multiple birth gene! I have a wonderful nanny, a great husband, and I love each and every one of my children to death, and I have not had one single problem with the kids (yet!) Congrats Congrats Congrats Congrats (one for every baby) I hope life with your chldren is fantastic!

CONGRATS!!!! Wow, I am so very happy for you. 1st of all take a deep breath :). You will be o.k. God does not give us more than we can handle. If you have any family in your immediate area see if you can enlist their help at least for the first couple of months. If you can afford it you could check into a nanny or someone like that. Also it sounds like two of your children are old enough to help with some of the smaller things and the older one can do diapers and feeding and holding. I will definately be praying for you. God Bless you.

Wow sounds like you'll definitely have your hands full, luckily your 2 older children are at an age where they can help out with chores and even helping with the babies. It will be a lot of work at first but you'll get a system going where you can attend to everyone's needs. Luckily you are in a situation where you can stay home and raise them. Good luck & Congrats!

The great thing is you have a couple older kids than can help! Granted, you cant load them up bc they are still children but they can lend a hand here and there. God never gives us more than we can handle. Children are a blessing that God loands us. Our children belong to God and we just watch them for Him =]
You will do fine. I am sure you are worried and a little panicy but once you get the bundles home and get into a routine....things will go smoothly. Don't be afraid to ask friends and family for help either!

Believe you can do it. If you believe, you can. I come from a family of 7 girls. Amanda- 33 Rebecca-32 Anna-Marie, Nina, and Lillianna- 23, Laura-14, and Ava-13. My parents got divorced before Ava was born and my mother never remarried, So she was raising 10 year old triplets, a one year old baby, and a newborn all by herself with just a bit of help from Amanda and Rebecca once in a while. She was so scared and didn't think she could do it, but she did and she was and still is a wonderful mother to all seven of us.

Do you have any friends and family that can help you out, because you gonna need all the support you can get. I don't want you to get all stress out and do anything crazy. But if you have friends and family;y that is willing to help you and come in shifts to help you out around the house with the kids thats good. Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy

If you can afford it, you might want to hire some help for the first few months. Read up as much as you can on multiples, and take it easy. Also, take good care of yourself in pregnancy..triplets and quads often are born way early..it is best to give them a good start. Good Luck!

ahhh, l must say l dont envy you, there would be support groups for women who have had multiple births and now maybe the time to get as much family support as possible, luv you will be fine, you just have to think positive aboout it and look at all the positives and not the negatives. try to get as organised for their arrival as possible soon, as you may be quite tired towards the end, good luck

OK first you need to breathe. Then just think how nice it will be. dont think about the bad things. And i would hire a nanny or someone to help you so that way you can still enjoy being a mom. Congratulations!
