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

Have 1 natural child. Wanted 2, but was vomiting multiple times a day for the full 9 months and cannot imagine going through that again, ever.

Keepingup - I might go back my last was a very scary emergency section he had no heart beat and I just kept getting told I was too hormonal and stressed to make that decision even at his 30 months check up lol

Wanted 4 children, ended up having 2 dds.. aged 8 and 6. Sticking with 2 as I couldn't imagine going back to the baby years.. feel like we've finally got our freedom back a bit. I dont feel broody at all. I'm 29

Have one 3yo DS, pregnant with DD due in June.

Feel a bit terrified of having two, tbh...

Mrsknackered · 08/02/2018 11:31

How many children have you got? 2
How many children do you want? Or did you want? I wanted 4, not so sure now.
Do you ever get broody? God no, love a cuddle with a newborn but honestly my worst night mare is falling pregnant with a 3rd. I can't even describe how much it would change. I'd like to think in the future I might have another one or two though.
What age are you? Early 20's

MissCalamity · 08/02/2018 11:35

Two DC, before having kids I did want 3 (as I'm one of three) since having DC1, I knew 3 was extremely unlikely to happen, so very happy with the 2 of them.

Do not feel broody in the slightest or jealous when friends fall pregnant. I'm 38 & just getting my life back not my body, that's long gone

BreakHerOffAKitKat · 08/02/2018 11:39

I have one DD nearly 2 yrs old. I had a stillborn DS would be 5 now and a miscarriage prior to that. I'm 40, wanted 2 or 3 children but DD is my world and I'm happy with my rainbow too tired physically and emotionally to think about trying for more

TabbyTigger · 08/02/2018 11:42

I’ve got 5, one more due at the end of the month. 6 is how many I want (plus I’m nearly 40) and I always knew I wanted at least 4 but didn’t have a set idea outside of that.

CosySnuggles · 08/02/2018 11:45

Am 37- Have 1, wanted 2 or 3, but we struggled so much to have DS (endless rounds of IVF, m/c etc) that I'm eternally grateful for him!

Still on the IVF rollercoaster, eternally optimistic 😆

Groovee · 08/02/2018 11:45

Have 2, 18 and 15. Originally wanted 3 but the 15 model didn't sleep and I couldn't face another baby like that. I am40.

Kenworthington · 08/02/2018 11:46

I’m 42
I’ve got 3 dc
I would have ideally liked 4
Although before I had dc1, I didn’t want any!
They are all teenagers now so no longer broody as now have a bit of freedom again but was very broody about 5 years ago.
