awful advice....
I agree with most above who say this is awful advice. If you don't want a child, then don't have one. No matter what you will still be a major caregiver. Also, the point of raising health problems should be a major concern. Your health should come first.
I wanted to add that it seems like your own freedom and life are important to you. You had children when you were so young you deserve freedom! You should get to have your own life. As you said, you will have completed 32 years of child-rearing when this one is 18. By my calculation, that puts you at 52. 52 is no time to start living. You only have four years until the twins are in college and your time to have a little more freedom comes around. Remind your husband that he will be 65 when this baby turns 18.
