Yes - his four children! But, no, Jocasta and Laius had no other children. Oedipus was born after years of infertility. Oedipus's adoptive parents also had no other chldren. If you want to know how Oedipus never guessed that Jocasta was at least 25 years older than himself, google for "Queen Harmonia's necklace".
In "Oedipus Rex," Jocasta asks Oedipus to stop if he has any concern for his life or for her suffering. At this point, she has guessed the identity of Oedipus and doesn't want him to experience the pain of knowing he has slept with his own mother. The knowledge that she has children with her son is too much for Jocasta, and she hangs herself.
