How do you know if you’re done having kids?

I have two small children. I’ve always thought I’d have two and feel “complete”, but there’s a small wonder, what if we had a 3rd? My husband and I are both one of 4. Am I going to spend the rest of my life wondering if we don’t have a 3rd? Am I mad to want a 3rd knowing it’ll make our lives so much harder?

I’ve had the third I always wanted. I thought I would feel complete… but a bit of my heart would have another in a heartbeat if I could. I wonder the same thing, when do you feel done? I love having babies and children so much!

I like even numbers, and four is WAY too many for me, so two it was. As DC2 was passed to me moments after birth, I remember thinking “ahhhh, I never have to have another contraction!”

I just never got broody at all after my 5th. Just felt I was done.

I knew minutes after the birth of my last child that I was done. It was a relaxed and satisfying feeling.
