Who has 4 kids or more?! I currently have 3 and found out I’m pregnant. Wanting to know how your 4th pregnancy was? Smooth? Harder?

I’m on number 6, having him saturday… I feel as though the pregnancies have gotten harder as I have personally aged. My body handles this one at 31 a lot different than my first at 22…

Currently pregnant with my fourth but will be my family’s 5th kid (husband has a child from previous relationship) I don’t know how well this will be after the baby gets here however I can tell you this pregnancy has been hell on Earth way worse than my other three. I was 20 22 and 23 when I had my other ones currently 27 years old and it makes a big difference

My 4th wasn’t the easiest pregnancy but by far the easiest amount of kids vs 2 or 3 lol I now have 5 and am begging for a 6th just to make it even again

Currently pregnant with #7. My 5th 6th and 7th have been so hard on me this os the worse one yet. Im 34 weeks friday and i feel like straight crap. Havr no energy cant stand longer than a minute cause i feel like ill pass out. Hes also measuring 3 weeks ahead and is huge. The kiddos i had in my 20s were so easy and the ones i had in my 30s are harder.

I only have three, but the first two I had when I was 27 and 30, my third at 39! I think as you get older your body doesn’t handle pregnancies as well as a general rule. Third was definitely more difficult (though only in the beginning as I had a hematoma, then the remainder of my pregnancy was fine apart from being tired) Third labour was long and awful… emergency C section after two natural births!

I have 4 and honestly the only thing that I think was worse was how I felt towards the end I was uncomfortable couldn’t sleep because of it and my body aches were worse but I was also 32 and all c sections and I think the spinal taps from those made my back pain worse every time I had bad back pain when I wasn’t pregnant but definitely got worse towards 30 32 weeks. But birth wise was no different then the rest besides I went in labor before my c section date with my last water actually broke as soon as I got on the or table :joy: and bleeding afterwards was torture I actually got my tubal while they had me open and I bled so bad to the point when my baby was 3 months old I’d say I had to get the nexplanon to try and fix the heavy heavy murder scene periods. Now I don’t have a period at all. But everyone is different and everyone’s body is different you got this momma.

Currently on my 4th pregnancy. Honestly it been a breeze compared to the others :sweat_smile: I’m almost halfway through now. The only frustrating part is the weight gain and being bigger than all the others :joy: especially in winter. I’m probably sleepier this time but that may be because I chasing the other 3 around too lol

Pregnant with my 4th right now… not gonna lie to ya, it’s been a rough one

I don’t have 4, but just had my 3rd. I blame my age & health issues now, I had her at 39, turned 40 a month and a half later. My first two were at 19 & 23… so yeah, my last pregnancy was by far the hardest. The first two were boys, my last is a girl. Everything was totally different that 3rd time around.

I have five - I had them at 26, 29, 32, 35, and 40, and honestly didn’t feel like pregnancy was noticeably different with any of them. I’m lucky to have very easy labors and deliveries, and none of that differed wirh any of my babies, either. Best of luck!

Pregnant with my fourth right now, due in Oct, and it’s been as easy as first, but my last (3rd) was hard!! Who knows this one may end hard but as of now it’s been easy! I genuinely think it’s got more to do with age and when you had your last and what not. My littlest is 2 and I’ll be 30 in Oct.

My 4th pregnancy was rough couldnt wait for it to be over :sleepy:
My 5th on the other hand was amazing lol

Just had my 8th baby. This pregnancy, labor and deliver was a breeze.

I’ve 5 currently 10 to 19. 4 I found no different as already in routine. But now 10 Yr on I’m older, pregnancy is not fun. I’m 39 though. So baby 6 due Jan as ill just turn 40

Hard hard hard…but each of my pregnancies got harder with each one unfortunately. Then when my 4th was 7mths i had to have a emergency hysterectomy

I just gave birth to my 4th baby 2 months ago. The only thing that made it pretty rough is that I have a 1 year old also and ofcourse she keeps me busy running about so I never could rest and relax off my feet or take naps when I had those horrible bouts of 1st and 3rd trimester fatigue. Nausea was about the same for me, it was horrible and lasted the entire pregnancy like it did for my 3 other babies. It was so hard but only for that reason. If my youngest was a bit older I’d have a more enjoyable rough experience but it was just rough and rough lol

Depends, are you over 30? I had 4 before I was 30, then one after and all I can say is good luck! Like hell am I doing that again past 30 not a chance

It was harder on me but that’s because i got pregnant at 3 months pp from my 3rd child. I’m currently pregnant 2 years later with my 5th and its going decent for me

Smooth. But I was exhausted in the beginning especially not being able to nap whenever I needed to. I drank a lot of caffeine to get through and she’s completely fine. Did the same for #'s 5 and 6 too.

Harder. Second hardest. Definitely in the worst shape starting out.
I’m tired and old.

I have 6 children all my pregnancies are really good so are my labours i had my 4th at home xx

I was alot more tired with my 4th. But it was also my first pregnancy working. Other than that no real difference

Harder. Google shoulder dystocia.

I have five, and my fourth pregnancy was not complicated at all

My 4 one was intense got nausea all the time couldn’t keep anything down (didn’t get that with my other pregnancies) I’m pregnant with my fifth and it’s definitely the last one. I’m on bedrest since I hit the 25 weeks and I’ve been sick (I have asthma, and I have too much amniotic liquid so it’s making it harder for me to just breath) I’m 35 weeks and I never ever said that before but I literally cannot wait to give birth. I usually love being pregnant but this one is kicking my ass hard lol

1-4 between 19 and 22… all super easy.
#5 @ 41… was HORRIBLE!

My 4th was my hardest. But I think it’s because I got pregnant when my daughter was 3 months old. Definitely need at least a year recovery time imo.

My 4th was exactly like my 2nd

I’m 35 years old and currently 38 weeks. This is my 4th pregnancy. It has been amazing and has been a great pregnancy overall. But, got a tooth infection two weeks ago, had a root canal yesterday. Woke up so sick today with body aches and fever, went to urgent care and tested positive for covid. The whole pregnancy has been amazing and now my body is falling apart :sob: I’m being induced next Wednesday.
