How many kids would you have if…

[Magssss]

…it was entirely up to you? If things like money/overpopulation/others opinions were not influencing or restricting your decision?

3 or 4.

Currently struggling to get a second 😪 in reality probably 2 or maybe 3 if we’re lucky

None. I have one. Whilst I don’t regret him now he’s here, the decision to have him at all was based more on DH’s desire to have a child than mine.

1. Any more and we couldn't give them as much of us as we want to.

(And that's what we have)

I'd have carried on and probably ended up with near or actual double figures as we're incredibly fertile!

Stopped at 4 and was sterilised because had run out of contraceptive options.

6 but we have 5 and won’t be having any more due to disability

3! I have 2 but always wanted three

I'm kind of fond of the three I've got but I think an ideal number is two. Not sure which one I'm returning yet, depends on the day and mine/their moods 😂

3 or 4

I’d be pregnant or breastfeeding a baby until fertile again all the time if money and space were no object. I love being pregnant and my last birth lasted 40 mins so the worst bit was over quickly.

Three, which is what I have because my mind and brain can't cope with more.

Two. More than enough for me.

3 or 4 and still ever hopeful I will persuade husband to try for a third!!!

I had two, I would have loved four! Age and finance scuppered that! But I am very happy and grateful for the two I have got 🥰

4
But only if I could lay eggs and pop them in an electric incubator until they hatched. I had 2 bad birth experiences and found pregnancy dreary and uncomfortable.

Two, but only have one (infertility). I have a boy, and would have loved another boy 18-24 months younger. Girl would have been ok, but two boys would have been perfect.

I think we’d stick with two, I would worry about spreading ourselves too thin if we had more.

We have three and I would maybe have four - two sets of two buddies. Our twins are such a lovely little unit. I'd like that for our oldest, but maybe they'll relax into a trio as they get older and I'm pretty sure four would require us both at home with private incomes 😄

Two. Just can't understand the desire for more - they are hard work and it doesn't get easier past the baby stage.

Three which is what I have

3 (have 2)

None.

Four - two with my eggs, two with DW's. But DW wants two so we are stopping there.

Same as I have. 1.

Six. But we are almost certainly stopping at two for reasons to do with pregnancy, birth, money, house size, sleepless nights, and amount of time we are able to spend with them.
