As for me I had always wanted at least 7 children and got 8. This wish was fixed in my mind when I turned 14. At this time I had no fear, never had for my kids, nor any thought what it would be like. When my niece was born I had just turned 12 and was so much in love with her, my sister then just 17 lived with us, and did very well then.
In the family I had my kids two years apart and after the 6th there was a break of five years. Then again the last two also two years apart.
I really believe that the good Lord had his hand over my kids and me. There were no complications, except for the doctors at a birth where my son stuck out his feet first and inspite of me having known what could have come up there was no fear at all.
With every pregnancy I was so full of faith I still wonder today where this came from.
Thinking of it today itīs incredible. So many kids and some got even more, and where older.
I guess at a certain age though the woman might be strong and healthy there should be a time to just leave it.
