Maybe I shouldn’t even bother. Having said that my eldest son is so desperate for a little sister. He tries not to “make me feel bad” [emoji23] for having another boy. It’s funny and cute. People are so ready to throw comments. It just the last thing you need. That’s why whenever I see a pregnant woman I will never ask what she’s carrying no matter what. Cos u have no idea what she’s going through. Gosh I don’t know what I’d do without the support I get on here. You guys really make my day. And I need it a lot atm. Thank you ladies [emoji3531][emoji3531][emoji3531]

its funny even though we have 2 girls my DD2 is closest by far to DS5 :) dont let anyone's opinion dictate weather you have more babies and dont let them spoil DS4's arrival either, he's going to be perfect!! :heart: (typing this while snuggling my own 3 week old blue bundle :) )

I was extremely sad & stressed during my 4th pregnancy. After a very long sway (10months) I fell pregnant & then had a miscarriage. At that point I didnt care about gender & just wanted to be pregnant again. I never felt the joy with that pregnancy. Only fear & sadness. I felt so robbed of my joy & innocence that I felt with my first 2 pregnancies. Finding out that I was expecting my 3rd boy was even harder than my second - but I think that was much smaller than the fear of losing another baby. I didnt tell anyone that I was pregnant (apart from hubby) until I was around 30weeks. I was small & hid it well. I then went into labour at 34weeks much to the shock of everyone. We managed to hold things off for another 4 days then my rainbow baby arrived. At that moment everything changed & he healed my broken heart. He still does everyday. He is the most beautiful snuggly boy. He has a lovely nature & was a easy baby. So being profoundly sad & fearful didnt affect him at all. Goodluck.
