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

[RevolvingPivot]

I wanted 3. I've got 2.

Wanted 0
Have 0

Wanted 4, have 2.

I'm very done. Finding the baby/toddler years lonely and difficult and don't want to have to do it three times! They're very close in age so hoping they will become best friends in a few years.

Wanted 2, had 1, decided I was happy with 1

I wanted three and I've got none.

Wanted 3, but after 2 decided that was enough!

Wanted 0, got 1 (had a broody husband who I love very much).
Definitely happy with my 1

Wanted 1.Have 1.

I wanted a big family, we had talked about 4 but didn’t feel we were done. Now 7 months pregnant with number 5 but this is us finished.

1. We have 2, my family thought we’d have loads more. I possibly did too, but the constant knackered feeling got to me and we moved to Oz for a few years and found it hard going on my own.

Never wanted any.
Have 4
No regrets

Wanted four had three boys then had a surprise and a DD😁also worked with kids for 30 plus years.

Wanted 0, changed my mind when I met now dh and have 2 boys (and 2 dsd's)

Wanted 0, got 1.
Wouldn't change him for the world though

Wanted 4. Still do. Have 3 and now to old for a 4th and it's been tough managing the three.
I don't regret much but I do regret not trying for a family earlier - we were both engrossed in our careers and social life - I didn't expect it to be so hard trying to firstly get pregnant and secondly stay pregnant. Three miscarriages broke my heart and stripped away a lot of naivety I had about being in control of plans for my own life.

Never thought about having children and how many I wanted.

Had 2.

Never been broody and wonder what that must feel like.

Wanted 3+ but currently pregnant with number 1 and I’ve been so ill I really don’t want to do pregnancy again. Who knows but I’ve already told husband I’m not having anymore 😂

Wanted 1
Had 1

I never thought about how many , I just knew I’d like one/some.
I have 3.

I have 1, lost 3. I originally wanted 2 but in the end was incredibly grateful to have my 1.

Wanted 8 boys, had 2

Same here but am glad I had two.

Wanted 1, had 1.
Pretty happy at 1

I do sometimes wonder why people want to go through it all again. Parenthood is hard enough with 1, and she's a pretty easy baby!

Wanted 4 when I was young
Have 3 - perfect for us

Rubyupbeat 8 boys!!!
