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

@Mamanyt
Got a candle lit for you!

@RevolvingPivot
Good luck to all those TTC or hoping too in the future! 🙏

@CreamCabbages Flowers.

Thank you all 😊. Have my Hysterosalpingogram on Saturday 🤞. Good luck to everyone else trying.

Wanted 2, one of each. As soon as I had DD, decided I was never going through labour again, DH agreed. Everyone said we'd change our minds - DD is now 7, we haven't waivered & DH has now had the snip ✂️

Am thinking about a puppy next year though 🐶

As a child/teen I wanted 5 but as I’ve got older it’s got less and less. I think I’d like 3 now. Currently have 0 and have a feeling I’ll struggle to even have 1. Sad

katrin174 · 04/08/2021 21:15

I wanted 2, weve got 1 of our own, 2 neices and 1 nephew in our family.
Id still like another of my own though but im getting older now so may not happen but🤞.

TerribleTango · 04/08/2021 21:33

Want 4, have 1. Getting too old now that if I'm lucky, I'll have 1 more.

Barbie222 · 04/08/2021 21:40

Have 3 but wanted more. Ran out of time

Buttercup54321 · 04/08/2021 22:11

Wanted 4. Have 4.

Sirecho · 06/08/2021 00:21

Wanted 2 with ex husband but only had one as ex turned out to be psychopathic ( whole story in itself). Met new husband decided we wanted 1 as already had 1. Happy family of 4 when baby number 3 surprised us so now family of 5 and absolutely no more!

Want 1, got 0 and not likely too as 4 rounds of IVF haven't worked 😪 (1 initially did but lost it at 9 weeks) 😭

Flowers I'm so sorry.
Lampzade · 06/08/2021 20:42

Wanted four had three.
Three is more than enough

Codywolf · 06/08/2021 21:30

Wanted no kids I have three.

So sorry Flowers. You never know, fingers crossed for you.
Saladcreamormayo · 07/08/2021 16:01

I wanted more than I actually have due to motherhood having a far bigger impact on my mental health than I could ever possibly imagined. Suffered horrendously with postnatal anxiety and it has never really left me unfortunately. So no more babies for me unfortunately.

Worldwide2 · 08/08/2021 10:16

@Melm22 I'm so sorry 😔💐 I hope things change for you 🙏

Melm22 · 08/08/2021 14:39

Thank you all for your lovely messages and thoughts. We're not giving up, just disheartening at times. We're strong and have hope ❤ xx

Opalfeet · 08/08/2021 15:50

@Melm22 glad you still have hope and wish you all the best.

Dontsayfuckorbugger · 25/08/2021 04:54

Wanted 1 have 3.
Only envisaged one boy (I'm one of 3 girls and lots of girl cousins). Had 2 girls then had a boy. Love them dearly although suffered terrible PND

Gooseysgirl · 25/08/2021 16:37

Wanted 4 had 2. Finances, my age (had second at 39) and mental health were the main factors.
