It’s your Body your choice. But would you not want to spend all your time on your one year old first and then have a baby? x

Its up to you and your hubby when you want another baby.... no one can tell you how soon it is.... you just go with what you want my lb is 14 weeks old and my oldest daughter wants me to have another baby she wants a sister lol

your little girl is cute xx

What's the obsession with having more children, why not just enjoy the ones you have? Sorry if I sound judgy, obviously it's a decision to be made by you and your husband, I've just never understood the desire for so many children.

Of course it is your choice. But it is also your mum's choice not to give you support. If you are needing support with the 4 you have, having another one is going to be tricky without support.

I have no family support and can barely deal with my two toddlers and as much as I'd love to have another one, I feel that I couldn't give all three the attention deserved.

I have 3 beautiful children and another on the way.

Everyone’s circumstances are different but you’ve asked for opinions so I would say don’t have anymore.

You have 6 beautiful children and I’m sure with 4 of them being very young you are a very busy lady.

Financially it must be a burden and your time must be stretched.

Help from grandparents and friends is always helpful but you can’t rely on that and it’s not fair to assume people will help family or not.

Why don’t you just enjoy the family you have and quality time with them.

Of course it's up to you and your partner what you choose to do but do you think you could manage without the support of your mum? And do you really want to sever the relationship with her?

Your children are all still young and do you think you'd be able to give them all they need while also coping with a newborn? Do you think you can cope with the financial strain of having another?

Could you put the desire for another aside for a bit and weigh up all the pros and cons?

Hope you come to a decision that worksfor you soon.
