I had 6 pregnancies also. Got 3 Children, would have loved to have all 6 !!

I lost the first baby (lost near conception) had two boys, now 17 and 15. Used birth control pills until I got pregnant with our little girl,(YES, I took them all.... ) she is now almost 4. Got pregnant two more times and lost both near 10 weeks.

Well, now I have to add more to my list. I got pregnant again, but haven't announced it until after I met with the doctor and got an ultrasound.

We have a confirmed pregnancy and will now have 4 children. Now we just hope for healthy......
