[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would try. Pregnancy is only going to get harder the longer you wait. Having a baby with older kids is easier than having one with little kids. A part of you really seems to want another. Yes a 4-kid family has less parental time for each kid but I don't think that's bad and it's nice for sibs to have each other (I am one of 4 kids myself). Honestly, it sounds like it might not work and then you'll be done with the embryos and can feel like you did everything you could. [/quote]

Only OP can know if she has the time and bandwidth for a fourth child, particularly when one is special needs and presumably takes much more time than her other children. But part of being a good parent is making decisions that are best for the family, not only best for you. That means this should not be an emotional decision and not based on how much she wants another. Many families overextend themselves thinking everything will work out and be worth it in the end, but it's the children that get the short end of the stick. Not to say she shouldn't do it, but it's not a simple decision and OP needs to think long and hard and come to a decision with her partner. [/quote]
