Just that really. How many do you have? Are you done having them?
I have 3. Would like more but lacking space!

2 and done.
I will miss being pregnant, I loved it I’ve never felt better than I did when I was pregnant, and I miss the newborn stage. That first few weeks of quiet bliss at home with a new baby ect.

But I wouldn’t want to stretch us financially. I like that we have two kids, can still afford to eat out and have nice days out. A yearly UK holiday and occasionally an abroad holiday if I could get DH to fly 😂

None, by choice.

Two. Both girls. In their mid 20s now. Had them both within 2 years. Knew I didn't want any more. (Had them around age 30.) Smile

I have 3 and I'm totally done! I know a family who have 7 and it blows my mind. They're totally overwhelmed and I can't understand why they had 7

I have 0 at present, my dream is 3. Hoping to start TTC at the end of the year. I’m 25 so praying time is on my side but know it might not happen for us

2 and through!
Although I did say I was 1 and done.

I always wanted 5. H and I are both from big families. But, finances, pregnancy losses etc mean at 40 I'm done.

3, although looking at me you’d think I only had 1.

1 living, 1 not and 14 weeks pregnant with another.

4 over the space of 5 years and while they were little it was hectic but ok
Now they are all teens it is very hard financially

  1. We wanted two, but three came along for the ride. It's weird to think what kind of child we'd have ended up with if the egg hadn't split.

Same here, while they were all under 10 it was amazing but now they are all teenagers it is very expensive. They eat constantly, they are all in adult clothing and shoes and we have driving lessons etc to pay for. Their friends with only one sibling (or none) have been given cars but we cannot afford to do that four times.
That all seems so far away when they are little and cute.

4 and currently pregnant with twins. To think I only thought I would have one.
