I think if you have to ask and you are second guessing you shouldn't. Are you able to support your 4 kids? Mentally and financially... College funds?
MY answer if your asking is no. However, this is truly something that you and your husband have to decide.

My opinion is that the world is over populated and future generations are going to struggle with shortages of food and water, so no, you should not have another baby.

It's your life, though. I don't think you should or shouldn't based on what others think. Just think about what you are doing. Get educated about the earth's resources and its population, then decide.

Think about your children. Is it fair to them to add another child to the family? There are a lot of things to consider before you create another person.

I have merged your two posts, seem in one you don't have a 11 month old, and in another you do.

If you are going to be a troll at least be a good one.

You are asking a bunch of strangers whether you should have more children? This is something you should be asking your husband. No-one here can possibly know your situation or ability to cope with a large family.

I'm Irish, and by my standards, four is not that big a family. But four or more children takes a huge amount of looking after, not just financially (think about five college funds) but emotionally too. Have you a back-up system for if you get injured or sick? Can you cope with five children all shouting at you at once?

If your financially able to take care of all these children and yourself and the bills then what they hey why not.

The world may be over populated but hell it's your uterus you control how many babies you want in there.

If your husband is all for it then go for it. If your okay finacially go for it. If you live in a stable home go for it.

I wouldn't suggest getting pregnant to save your relationship or just because you want one because a close friend just had a baby and all of the sudden your like "ohh a baby" [I say that because one of my friends just had a baby and I'm all like "ohh a baby"-- but I'm not going through with it].

I'm not understanding why you posted that the boys have only been out 13 times and that everyone is telling you to bathe them 2 times a week.

How often do you bathe them now? Less then 2 times? More then?

It seems to me that you already have your hands full, why add more?

Can't you just enjoy what you have?
