DH and I were excited to find we were pg with baby number 4, But unfortunately it ended in a miscarriage at 10 weeks. We have 3 boys, 6, 4 and 2. My youngest DS would have been 3 when #4 would have arrived, which would have been lovely to have them all near together. We would love to try again for #4 hopefully in the near future, I think that 4 children is a lovely number. I would love to hear from mums with 4 or more children and what age gaps you have.
