There is a chance of pregnancy at any point during the month, though your chances are much higher when you are ovulating. You can google for info about ovulating, since there are at-home ways you can tell if you are. There are also ovulation test kits you can buy at pharmacies.

Whether you end up with a baby or not, you might want to rethink the situation with your 3 year old. While of course you love him and want to give him the world, you aren't actually doing him favours in the longrun if you are overprotecting or spoiling him. It's probably not helping your relationship with his brother and sister if you are showing any favouritism towards him.

One way to help him get used to other kids is by joining a play group with kids of varying ages, including those slightly younger than him. You will need to be very firm that it's not okay to be mean to children that are younger than him.

One way to help positively reinforce a good relationship is to have him be a 'helper' with his cousins. Give him little tasks he can do - singing to the babies, playing peek-a-boo, etc - and then really, really offer him praise when he does well. Let him know that babies can be fun, and that being a big brother can be fun, too.

Most children have trouble adapting to a new baby, and your son might have more difficulty than most. Perhaps it's time for him to learn that he needs to accept some boundaries - which means not getting everything he wants, sometimes being left with sitters, etc. While you might feel mean doing this, you are doing him (and your future child, and yourself!) a big favour.

I wish you the best.
