Didn’t know

Had 3

Rosiiiiie · 02/08/2021 15:41

Want 3. Have 1. Pregnant with another.

Actually had a think about it today and not sure I could go through another first trimester. It’s really kicking my ass!

WallabyLullaby · 02/08/2021 15:42

Wanted 4, have 2.

SheABitSpicyToday · 02/08/2021 15:42

I wanted 4. I’m pregnant with number 2 and I’m never doing this again.

Shapesorted · 02/08/2021 15:42

3 and 3. Also the same sexed children in the same order that I'd always imagined too.

THNG5 · 02/08/2021 15:43

I wanted 3. We've got 4 after my sterilisation didn't go to plan...

Notadramallama · 02/08/2021 15:43

0 and 0

ReginaaPhalange · 02/08/2021 15:43

Wanted 2, but 3 if it happened.

Got one DSD and pregnant with my first baby. Won't be doing it again as class the family as complete :)

Cats on the other hand.... hehe!

Lavender24 · 02/08/2021 15:43

One and one. Never doing the pregnancy/birth/baby/toddler stuff ever again URGH. Sometimes my ovaries are like "Hey, BABIES" but I shut them down. It's been even harder than I thought it would,

firstimemamma · 02/08/2021 15:43

Want 3. Age 31 and pregnant with number 2. Would be happy with 2 if 3 wasn't possible.

possumgoddess · 02/08/2021 15:44

0 and 2. Wouldn't be without them now though.

BingBongToTheMoon · 02/08/2021 15:45

I wanted 3 & have been bloody lucky to have the 1 I have.

shouldistop · 02/08/2021 15:46

Wanted 2 or 3. Have 2 and won't be having any more.

LittleLottieChaos · 02/08/2021 15:47

Wanted 4… (both from big families, I’m one of four and partner is one of six).

Have 1 with 1 on the way and I am so done. Too tired, and the toddler stage is hell, actual hell. Already planning the vasectomy party.

AnneLovesGilbert · 02/08/2021 15:47

Wanted 4. Got one.

Mistressofnone · 02/08/2021 15:47

Wanted 2 and have 2. Don't think I'd cope with 3!

Bluey18 · 02/08/2021 15:47

Hadn't given it too much thought, just knew I would want at least 2. Pregnant with no 2 now and feel like that is plenty for us!

BigMamaFratelli · 02/08/2021 15:48

Always wanted two, but had assumed I'd have at least one boy - I have two dds. But also have dss and dsd so there's 4 kids in our household.
Dp and I have talked about having another and it's not off the table, but 5 might be a bit much (for us)

Karmagoat · 02/08/2021 15:48

Wanted 0, have 2.

elliejjtiny · 02/08/2021 15:49

Wanted 3 and got 5, we've been very lucky.

CarlottaValdez · 02/08/2021 15:49

Wanted lots have 1, at peace with it now.

Username916 · 02/08/2021 15:50

I desperately wanted 3, have 2 though. Think I'll get a puppy for my 3rd!

17caterpillars1mouse · 02/08/2021 15:50

Wanted 3 got 2

Chocolateandamaretto · 02/08/2021 15:50

Wanted 4. Have 3 and I’m done!

Parker231 · 02/08/2021 15:51

Wanted one but got twins. Happy with the end result!
