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

[RevolvingPivot]

I wanted 3. I've got 2.

Didn't have a number in mind.
Got 3, want more, can't have more

Wanted 0 in my grand plans for adulthood, had 4 plus 2 steps. 😂

I wanted 0.
I now have 2. They are my pride and joy, but I really didn’t want them before I had them.

Wanted 2 or 3, have 1 (so far)

We both wanted 5, have 3 Dh would still have 5 I had SPD with 2nd, really bad with 3rd couldn't go through another prgnancy in that much pain but love being pregnant :(

Wanted 5 have 3. Too late now for any more. That boat sailed and I'm now divorced and my kids are adults aged 30, 28 and 26

0 and got 2 but I wouldn’t change it for the world 🥰

I’ve got 3, I wanted 5/6 (very least 4) but last baby ended up having major surgery due to genetic issues, we didn’t know ‘were a thing’ (super outting to say what, it’s pretty rare) now we know it’s 50/50 to happen to us again, it’s a no go after years of hospital for the youngest making sure and so that’s our lot 🥲

Wanted 1 or maybe 2, I have 3.

It took years of TTC and IVF cycles to have my first. She was hard work and we thought we wouldn’t/couldn’t have more, rolled the dice and conceived boy twins naturally.

I adore them all, happy with how it turned out but I wouldn’t put myself through another pregnancy. Definitely done.

0 and 2. And although I would not take a billion dollars for either one of them, neither would I give you a PENNY for another just like either one of them.

Would have loved 2 or 4 but have none. Praying for a miracle. 🤞

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you xx

Wanted 3. I have 2, but only 1 with me. My first was stillborn and when my second arrived safely 4yrs later I was so relieved but never wanted to go through another pregnancy again! So much worry for what seems like such a long time... I don't think my nerves could handle it

Wanted 2 but have 1 ivf miracle. Grateful for the child I have x

Wanted lots have one

Wanted 1, had 7!
The more you have, you think oh, another one won't make any difference.. ;-)
Married more than once, so that was another reason.
Lost lots too, so I didn't get away scot free. I was verbally attacked after one bad miscarriage by a would-be mum in hospital, telling me I should be happy with my then 6. Hurtful but I often wonder whether she did get a baby.. my heart goes out to women longing for babies..

Wanted 2 had 2

I used to want 3 or 4. I have two with my husband and he had two already (grown up!). I'm glad I don't have to split my time and attention further.

I wanted 5, husband wanted 2. Have 4 😂

Wanted 2
Have 4 (final pregnancy was twins)

Wanted 2. Don’t have any.

Got a candle lit for you!

Wanted 4, husband wouldn't go higher than 3-i NEVER wanted three, so we stuck on two. I managed a boy and a girl so am happy 😁

Always wanted three - the "ideal" being two girls and a boy in that order. Had two girls, realised the raw deal many women get when they have children, became somewhat of a misandrist due to their useless father and absolutely refused to risk bringing another useless male into the world!

Now my post natal rage has subsided I'm still very happy to have stopped at two. It's the smartest move I've made, as I would never have coped well with three regardless of the circumstances.

Wanted 2.
Had ds.
Wanted 4.
Had dd.
No longer wanted 4 and went back to 2.
