3 or 4 kids?

hi guys, just want to get some feedback from those of you with 3 children or those that have gone on to have 4 children.

I have 3 children all pretty close in age and we are tossing up whether to have one more. My husband is pretty happy with the 3 we have and now wants to start doing more with them rather than to be back with a newborn again. I am really happy with the 3 that we already have but can't help but keep thinking about having another one. The main problem is that I hurt my back about 6 months ago but it is slowly starting to get better. The other things that we are considering are whether we would have enough time for each of them if we were to add one more.

Those of you with 4 children do you regret having another one, did you feel like this before you had your fourth and are you happy now? I dont know whether i am just missing the newborn stage or whether it is because I just want one more. And for those that have decided that 3 is enough, did you feel like this after your 3rd or did you just know that you were finished?

Thanks so much for your replies.

Hi AandCsmum, thanks for your reply. Totally agree with you about grandparents! They ask about taking 1 but that almost makes it harder as you need to entertain the other one missing his buddy!

My three are 3, 2, and 8 months. The oldest will be 4 in June though, but all really close in age. If we were to have another then we would want them close as well.

What did your friend say about 4?

Thanks

Yeah that sounds about right, we haven't got to the activities stage yet, and then I suppose you have to drive them around everywhere x 3.

Thanks for your thoughts. I might be just missing that first stage where you meet your baby for the first time.
