How many children’s have you got?

[TwinklyGiraffe]

Just wondering about this!

How many children have you got?
How many children do you want? Or did you want?
Do you ever get broody?
What age are you?

There’ll be no more babies for me but I do get a little broody from time to time!🙁

I’ll start,
I’ve 2 children
Wanted 3
Get broody but less so as they grow up, age 3/5
I’m 38

I have 2. I want my 2 but I wanted 0.
I have never been broody.
I’m 49.

I have 2 DD8/DS1

I would love another but I don’t think it would be the right thing for us to do.

I’m 35

We have 2

An amazing, beautiful, sensitive, hippy of a girl, who despite recently hitting her teens, I 100% guarantee won't give us even 1/4 of the teenage grief I gave my parents. She's been an absolute dream of a child.

Also a gorgeous, cheeky, hilarious, stubborn, super clever too clever for his own good little boy who turns 5 tomorrow. He's a bloomin' handful and I'm sure will make up for our eldest being the dream child but I predict we'll worry less about him as an adult than we will about our DD.

We'd both love a 3rd or even 4th but have allowed head to rule heart in terms of practicality/finances/our current children's needs/ space/the future etc.

My siblings and in-laws really need to get a bloody move on and start giving me Nieces and Nephews to dull the bloodiness.

Have 1, 14 year old
Wanted 3
45 now & won't be having any more
Have been very broody at times, less frequently now

Thank goodness I have 2 DSS and a DGD arriving soon.

I have 2 at one point wanted loads then decided I was finished. Now I’m in a happy, healthy relationship with someone I really love I’m broody and can’t wait to have babies with him at some point.

*broodiness not bloodiness

3 DDs and 1 stillborn DS. I always wanted a 5th but was advised against it as after 2 c sections my uterus was battered beyond repair. Given the issues I've had, it was good advice but I took many years to come to peace with it. I guess having lost one, it was never going to feel "complete". I'm very lucky having my 3 girls, they're my sky full of stars. And now I have a grandson and 2 granddaughters - utter magic. I was there when my grandson was born, and holding him for the first time was a very bittersweet moment. He's a complete little monkey and gets away with far too much when he's with me

How many have I got?
0
How many do I want?
2 - 3 (but I guess it depends on how things go with this pregnancy etc)
Age?
Late 20ies

Wanted 2, eventually would have been happy with one, had none.

Was obv intensely broody but not anymore.

How many children have you got? 2
How many children do you want? 2
Or did you want? 2
Do you ever get broody? No but my youngest is only one still!
What age are you?40

Definitely done and DH has had vasectomy.

I’ve got 2 girls ages 12 and 3
I always wanted 2 girls.
I’m 46
Last One was def a gift from god

I have two.
We said ‘two or three’. DH has now done a runner so we’re stopping at 2. I’m 37.

I don’t get broody at all but I am seriously considering being a surrogate for a friend with secondary infertility.

I wanted three, then had two and only wanted two, then agreed to a third. Currently pregnant and don’t want anymore after this one

I have two children (both adults now).
I never had a particular number in mind.
Fuck No, I never get broody.
I’m 41.

I've got four and been sterilised.
I'm 30.

I have 3.
I'd love 4.
I'm 35.

To be honest, 3 is a stretch financially as we'd love a bigger house. So between that and my age (dc3 is due in March), I think we'll have 3.

I have 1 DS (age 9 months). I’m 40.

Wanted 3. Have changed that to 2 now (am old and knackered).

If we only manage 1 i’ll be okay with that (DS is a precious gift after recurrent miscarriages and infertility).

Am 36, have 11 and 7 year olds . Wanted 4 kids but I get hyperemesis when pregnant and couldn't face it again. Don't get properly broody anymore although I did until relatively recently.

I have 1 on the way.
Only ever imagined having 1 - partly because I'm an only child myself and partly because of the expense.
I only started getting broody when I was 37.
I'm 39 now.

How many children have you got? 2
How many children do you want? Or did you want? 2 :)
Do you ever get broody? DS is only 7 weeks so a bit early for broodiness but I feel really sad retiring clothes as he grows out of them knowing I won't be using them again. I also feel sad I won't get to give birth again. I keep going over my births in my head, it was such a wonderful and empowering experience.
What age are you? 37

I have 1, I'm 23. I want 3 or 4 ideally but I'm suffering quite badly with PTSD from my birth so I need to get my head around that before I think of another one!

I have seven dc , wanted two as a child but as I started having children I wanted more.
I am broody yes , am ttc our last one.
Am 37.

1. Small gap between 1&2, big gap between 2&3.

Am 40.

Am done, done, done. Never had this feeling before no. 3 - I wasn't 'broody' as we imagine it but I wanted another child - but as soon as she was here I knew that was it. I would find it very upsetting to get pregnant again and tbh I'd probably terminate.

Children's?? Children's what?

I wanted 5, then had DS and revised down to 1. Got over the hard work baby bit and revised up to 4. Split with xh and resigned myself to 1, accidentally got pregnant with DD. Would have loved another but didn't work out so I'm at 2 and content.

Age 44, DS 16 and DD 11
