I didn't know where else to post this, so here it goes. I have 4 healthy kids, ages 5 and under. With all 4 pregnancies I had pre-eclampsia - all 3 of my boys were induced at 37 weeks. But my daughter was induced just shy of 33 weeks. I am having baby fever again. My husband and I had always said we would have 4 kids. I don't know if it's just because I am used to being pregnant, but I really want to have another baby. I am terrified of the health issues again, especially with my kids being so young - and bedrest being so difficult with young ones. I feel selfish because I have 4 healthy and wonderful children. I just turned 29, and I feel too young to be done having kids. My husband is hesitant because of the preeclampsia that has happened with all of the pregnancies, it really takes its toll. but that's all that is holding him back. should i just stop at 4? any advice is appreciated. Thanks ladies!

And definitely stick around if you do decide to ttc! This is a great board, and there are probably other ladies here who have had pre-eclampsia that can help you prepare.
Good luck! :)
