Congratulations!!! At this point this baby is here so it shouldn't be a question whether you should have #5, he/she is already forming inside of you, not just a hypothetical idea.... maybe the timing isn't great but it never is.... by the way I'm my parents #5. Talk to your partner, and maybe choose not to have anymore after this? You guys wanted a big family and now you have it.... enjoy your little ones :)

your partner is probably just worried ant stressed at the prospect, it will be hard but once your children start to grow
im sure things will get easier, like someone else suggested i think you should keep this baby and then get your tubes tied or your hubby snipped? children are a gift and god doesnt give you more then you can handle (even if it feels thatway sometimes) good luck hun

Talk to your partner about it. There's nothing more you can do now that your pregnant so i think its better now for you and your partner to plan ahead for this baby. Congratulations. :)

In my opinion, I would have a good discussion with your partner; you need to know what his feelings really are. He may just be coming off as reluctant thinking about financial aspects and all the thoughts that come with an unexpected pregnancy. After, you just need to think if you are ready for a fifth and having your hands being even more full. You said you wanted a big family, so if you have this one then your family will be big like you want.

Well you've done the deed! I would say after this one be done & get yourself fixed!

Props to you for having a big family and taking care of all of those babies! : )This one is tough to give advice. I know if it were me, I would make it number 5, and figure out the rest in the 9 months it will take for him/her to get here.
