How many kids did you want v's how many you have

[RevolvingPivot]

I wanted 3. I've got 2.

Wanted 2, have 3 (twins second time round!)

Loads lol have 4 currently pg with number 5 but will likely be last due to my age. My previous relationship broke down and this baby is my new partners baby.

The genders of all of my babies worked out exactly how I wanted though. 2 boys 2 girls pregnant with boy.

Wanted 2 now have 4 ( mine plus my niece and nephew after my sister died)

Wanted 2, got 2.
Couldn’t even imagine having more. I always see families with 4/5 kids and think why so that to Yourself

1. None.

I wanted three. I had two.

Would have loved four, but stopped at two due to my age and finances. Very very grateful to have the two I've got!!

Wanted one, got one. Pleased.

I'd like 4 but have 2 and an unlikely at 39 to get the other two.

4, 4.

Wanted 6, had 4. My bones foiled our plans!

Wanted 1, have 1. Could not be happier.

Wanted 0, had 5!
Would happily have had more but have to draw the line somewhere!

Wanted 3, got 2. Other one didn't come along despite tracking cycle and trying for years now biological clock has run out. Grateful and at peace with 2 I have.

Wasn't bothered about children either way. Had one, would have liked a sibling for DD, but it never happened.

I wanted 0, I have 2.

Wanted 2 or 3. Pregnant with first but due to age we'll be stopping at 2.

Always wanted a big family. Got 6. 😳 no more now. Happy with 6

Would have liked 3-4, have found out I have a fertility problem and would be over the moon if we end up with even just 1 now.

Wanted 3, have 2. Changed my mind about 3 after having my first, it was so much harder than I thought it would be! I’m now very happy with the 2 DDs I have and no way want to go through pregnancy, labour and the newborn stages again!

Wanted 2, have 0.

I wanted 3, but have 1. Started late, two miscarriages and health problems with DH. Gets to me sometimes but I am so lucky to have DD. She's awesome and adore her.

I wanted 1, and had 1.

What makes some women want lots of children, and some not?

Wanted 2 got 1. Happy with 1.
