How many children would you like?

[samii1989]

Just that really!

Im currently pregnant with number 2. Before now i had always thought 2 would be the perfect number of children to have. However, im now finding myself constantly thinking that i would actually prefer one more in a few years time. I feel like 3 would be perfect! What do you think?

I have 4 and I'm done.

I wanted two. I'm an only child, DH is one of four. He wanted four. We agreed to three and the fourth was an accident .

If I had my time over, I'd still go for just 2, honestly.

4.. I have 4

1. I love them dearly and I'm done.

Always thought I wanted 3.

After going through the newborn stage I told my husband I only wanted 2.... it was just too exhausting!

Now the terrible twos have struck I said I'm not even sure I can manage a second!! I'll see how we feel in a year or two...

I have three, which is perfect for me.

I've always thought I'd like 3. I've currently got two (baby and toddler) and while I'm permanatly knackered and don't want another one anytime soon, I don't feel like I'm done. Quite a few of my friends have two and talk about how their families are complete, and I don't feel like that.

I always thought I'd have two, but I didn't feel finished after two so we had another one. Now I'm done!

I've got 2, would like 4, DH says 3, I think we'll end up with 4

I have the one at the moment, 17 months.
Not sure I will ever have another . Have had a tough time with dd

I have twins and I don't want any more

2 but I've got 4.
Love them all dearly but they are such hard work! It's the constant fighting, 2 can be easily separated but with 4 it's virtually impossible.

I've got 3. We probably should have stuck at 2. But I was obsessed with the thought of just one more so we did it.

I have 4. All singletons each one 2 years apart. I'm knackered but they are lovely.

I'd like 2 but dh says no more so we're sticking with 1. Am a bit sad about it but try to focus on the opportunities we can provide for ds as an only.

I have two - a girl & a boy - who are almost exactly 3 years apart. I'm very happy; they get on well (most of the time) & the age difference is just right.

My only regret is that I couldn't have a child with my DP. He has no children of his own, although he loves mine to bits, and I would have loved to "make" a child with him.

I had my tubes tied after DC2's birth, With hindsight, I wish I'd just gone back to using the Mirena device.

I always wanted 6, I have 4 and I'm done. My family feels complete with 4 plus I don't have the time, space or money for another 2!

I would love 3, always imagined 3 but OH has 1 already and he doesn't want 4. I'm happy to count SS as 1 and have 2.

I thought I wanted 3 as I am one of 3. However I am done at 2! One boy and one girl. I don't think I would survive the sleep deprivation at the age of nearly 40!

I'd like 2

I wanted 3. Have 3 and am totally done.

Hmmm

I have one and I love having a baby etc so I'm theory I'd like another one (not sure I could cope with more than two!). BUT I'm far too scared to give birth again so

Maybe one day

*in theory

Before anyone points it out, I'm still going to love her when she's older

Always wanted 2, have 1 DS and one impending.

We have agreed 2 will be perfect, but I don't know how I'll feel a couple of years down the line - hopefully thrilled to have got my body (and boobs) back. Plus I really don't know how DH will cope with 2+!

I'd like four. I've just had number three. I'm giving myself a rest from pregnancy for a while and will hopefully have number four when dd3 has just started school.
