should i give it one last hurrahh, advice pls
Hello, I haven't posted on here for a year, but as you ladies are great posters and good advice givers, please share some wisdom with me. Just a quick history, DH and I married 10 yrs, together for 22 yrs, 3 kids aged 8, 6 and soon to be 4, all conceived within 2 - 4 months of trying. When our youngest turned 1, we started TTC again, and we had 4 miscarriages, 2 in 06 and 2 in 07. They were all unexplained, all tests and checks are normal, they were put down to my age and bad luck! Remembering that I was 39 when we started to try.
Pretty much gave up last yr and didn't think about having another baby, we have always wanted 4 kids. Got into fitness etc last yr and didn't have any baby cravings so to speak. NOW sev things have made me think of giving it one last try, our little one is now in part time kindy, sev friends are pg including one who is pg naturally with triplets, she already has 3 kids, and the longing for another baby has surfaced again.
I wish it would go away, but alas it won't. I dont want to think back and regret not trying again, I think maybe having a yrs break is enough, maybe not. And if I have another miscarriage, it will be devestating.
BUT I need your advice on what would you do. I keep on finding reasons to try
I am 42 this yr (heaps of mums have kids at that age)
There will be a big age gap (who cares!!)
We have just bought a farm and are building (well sometimes things all happen at once)
It wasn't meant to be (well maybe that was then, this is now)
I am thinking of giving it 3 months til my birthday and going full assault, meaning no alcohol or caffiene (can cause m/c), eat healthy and exercise, take my vitamins etc. When I think back, I was really healthy etc when I conceived our kids, so maybe that is the key. And it won't do me any harm anyway.
Please forgive the rambling, I really would like to know if you think I am crazy or just clucky, or just lonely. I love being a mother and always wanted 4 kids, I hate to think that I will never feel a baby in my belly again, or kiss my pure newborn baby for the first time. Please don't tell me to be happy with what I have ( I am extremely happy, blessed and grateful for my family) and please don't tell me that I am lucky to be able to have kids at all (heard it before and appreciate it). Should I give this one last try??
