You didnt have to worry about money, space or your age. I think I’d want 4, maybe 5. I love pregnancy and birth (even though I had c sections) so much and when you first see them. 🥺 Plus babies, gahh. Amazing. And I love watching them grow, even when Im so unbelievably overwhelmed.

So in my dream world Id be a sahm, enormouse house with big bedrooms, multiple holidays a year and a nanny for when Im stressed or want to work for fun (obviously!)

Obviously real life means most of us can’t do that!

At least two. But I don't think I can say if I'd want more than two because I've never had to deal with more than one.

Sadly the reason we only have 1 DC is nothing to do with space, money or age. My pregnancy was a lovely catalogue of complications so we couldn't risk a second.

I'd have loved 2 if that wasn't the case though.

I’d have had four. I am one of four siblings myself, so it seemed like the right size for a family.

As I did have to worry about money, space and my age, I had two!
