@donkeyhead This completely melted my heart.

@clh72481 2 to 3 was a rough transition for us. You will have a middle child (middle child syndrome is real) and you are officially outnumbered. Strangely enough, adding more after the 3rd is WAY easier. There are more to siblings to play with and, eventually, the older children become helpful...

@fadeaway Thank you! We are SOOOO excited!!!

@texan2 1 to 2. 2-3 had its challenges but nowhere near as bad as 1-2 did. Every baby added on top of that seemed to be no big deal for me. Edit: I'm expecting my 6th

@seinfeld I'm 36 and just had my 7th (all 7 were vaginal). Nothing out of the "normal" (for me) realm of complications happened with this one. I did have a partial placental abruption at the inset of labor.. but i had the same thing with my 3rd and 6th as well. She was born a month early...

@guitarofgod The jump from none- 1 and 1-2 was definitely the hardest (hence the nearly 4 year gap between 2 and 3.) Adding kids after that is a lot easier. It was hard going from none-1 because.. it's new and all of a sudden you're responsible for keeping another human alive while sleep...

@jdn2604 We do mostly hand-me-downs but they get the occasional new clothing items because they each have different interests. We toss the stuff that is too worn or stained to pass down and replace it with new stuff as well.

@guitarofgod I had my first at 21. My 2nd at 23. My 3rd at 26. My 4th at 31. My 5th at 33. My 6th at 34 (3 months ago) Still planning on having more. Edit: going back to look at questions and continue answering. Starting early did make it possible for us to have a large family.. we could have...

@daryle Facts. Keeping house and home and raising children is the hardest, most rewarding, and most important jobs anyone can have. It is a travesty that this is looked down upon.

@shaunkeith Yes we do. Though my husband buys too many snacks for the kids too.

@shaunkeith My husband buys them Chewy dips. I prefer to make my own granola bars.

@puddingtader Our biggest expense is food. We buy in bulk (if it happens to be the cheaper option (it isn't always) and we buy our beef from a family member who owns a beef and Buffalo farm... they started raising pigs last year so we'll be able to start buying pork from them too. We buy at a...

@daisy83 I exclusively breastfeed so there really isn't anything for him to do to help.. unless baby has a blowout and I need help cleaning it up (bedding and such).

@alex_t We have 5 (12, 10, 6, 2, and 10m) and are planning on having more (trying now for #6) I am a stay-at-home mom, however. We struggle with the same things you do. It is not easy and I find myself stretched thin but we make it work. I heavily rely on my older kids to help out around the...

@ajewelinhiscrown That is so sweet! My 6 year old calls them 'bless you's' lol. "Mom, I bless you'd 3 times!" No matter how much I try explaining that they are, in fact, called sneezes and that 'bless you' is what we say to people when they sneeze... he still calls them that. Secretly, I...

@morgannicole555 I found going from 0-1 and 1-2 harder than 3+

@kaleandcoffee I found every additional child after the 3rd to be super easy.

@ajewelinhiscrown As much as it would be nice for every teaching moment to be like an episode of The Brady Bunch.. sometimes drastic measures need to be taken in the moment. The teaching can happen afterward once all parties involved have calmed down and everyone is safe. You did the right thing!

@beloved_dust_heap I've had 2. The first was with my 3rd the 2nd was with Vito.. I never got answers either

@beloved_dust_heap Some of the risk factors include: Placental abruption in previous pregnancy (most predictive factor) Pre-eclampsia and other hypertensive disorders Abnormal lie of the baby e.g. transverse Polyhydramnios Abdominal trauma Smoking or drug use e.g. cocaine Bleeding in the...
