As a parent ,have quadrulets OR have four babies all ten months apart??

 

 

I think i would rather have quadruplets cause my boys are like twenty months apart and that is to close. my youngest is 9 months and he doesn't know no and he is starting to get into everything, i couldn't imagine having another baby in a month to take care of also.

I would rather have them 20 months apart. My youngest two is 18 months apart. I think that is a good amount of months in between. Now for the mothers who have them even closer. My hat is off to you.

My gut reaction was 4 babies 10 months apart each, because I can't imagine caring for 4 babies at once, but I might actually opt for the quadruplets because I would hate to be pregnant for four straight years (in addition to caring for little ones).

I agree with Lisa.. I could not stand being pregnant for 4 years in a row.... I have 4 children but they are spread apart nicely.... oldest 2 are 7 years apart... the 2 middle kids are 5 years apart and the 2 youngest are 3 years apart....

I'd rather have the kids 10 months apart. Mine are 2 years apart, but we tried to get pg sooner than that. The first 4 months or so was hard, but then it got easier. 4 babies at once would probably drive me insane. Of course I enjoy being pregnant so that might color my opinion a bit.

I'd rather have quadruplets, people would probably lend more emotional support to someone in that situation than someone they percieve to drop one kid right after another.

I'd take the quads in a heart beat. My girls are 14 months and then 22 months apart. For a month out of the year they are sequential ages. Seems that the minute I get one out of a stage the other one is following her right through.

My second will be born in June, due on Number One's first birthday.. too soon I think but oh well too late now!

I would pick having quads because I agree with some other women on here: I couldn't imagine being pregnant for THAT long. Plus, I'd just like to get it all over with, all at once. One time in the hospital giving birth is a lot more attractive to me than 4 different times. I would hope that my family would pitch in as much as possible if I had that many babies all at once. OH, and I'd go on a ton of talk shows too because sometimes when people have multiples... they get lots of free stuff!
