hi
Im pregnant with number five and this will be the last. We have four kids under 12 and I have found three and four was easier than one and two, maybe because they had each other to play with and I was more used to it. The older ones are really helpful too.
enjoy the journey

Are you able to afford new clothes for each child?
How far apart did you have your babies?
did you breast feed all of your babies? (IF so are you breasts still ok?)
Did you plan all your children? Please explain...
Also how do you afford your family? Do you work? or SAHM
Sorry if these are too personal, just curious.

Are you able to afford new clothes for each child? Yes, although mostly from layby's
How far apart did you have your babies? around 2 years between the older ones: 17, 15 13, then we have 4, 3 & 1 year olds.
did you breast feed all of your babies? (IF so are you breasts still ok?) Yep, but not for long with the 1st 3, about 5 months, 6-7 months with the last ones breasts aren't ok, don't have any anymore lol
Did you plan all your children? Please explain ..my 1st wasn't, the next 2 weren't exactly planned, the next ones were all planned.
Also how do you afford your family? Do you work? or SAHM I'm a SAHM, DH owns & operates an opal mine, sometmes we have good cashflow other times not so good.
