We were being so careful but I just found out about baby 4. Unfortunately for me I can’t take birth control I’ve reacted badly to every type I’ve tried & my partner gets a lot of irritation with condoms!

But for some weird reason I have this feeling of impending doom this time where I never did with my older 3! I’m excited as I love being a mum and love the newborn stage but I just can’t shift this underline feeling - it’s really psyching me out!

I don’t know if it’s just worry or hormones. Maybe that we’d be considered a “large family” or the comments people will make! Maybe the impact of 3 under 3! But it’s driving me mad! Has anyone else ever gone through something similar when they found out?

I just found out we’re expecting baby #4!

Which means my boob barnacle will be roughly 18 months around my due date, I planned to let her decide when to stop feeding but now I think I’d rather wean her off me ready for the new arrival. I’d like to stagger it and start reducing feeds after her 1st birthday so I have 3 months to prepare before completely stopping by 18 months.

Has anyone done this before? Am I dreaming? Any advice?
