would def have 4 . infact want another now - mine are 6,5 and 3(all girls) but hubby put his foot down and had snip.

I have 2 and am expecting number 3 next week . If I knew my body could cope with it, AND that the babies would all be ok, I would have 6 in total and a huge garden, nanny and housekeeper!

In my real life I always wanted 4 but have found this pregnancy difficult and the baby may have problems too, so now not so sure. DH feels the same way but if I change my mind we have ways of making him co-operate.......

I'd just keep having them until there was a very good reason NOT to!?

My Mum said after she had her 4th baby she finally felt that completion and didn't ever again have the urge to have anymore.

I had to have the fertility pill-Clomid to conceive my first daughter so when I fell pregnant again when she was just 3 months old I was astonished-sounds naive but I really didn't think I could get pregnant naturally.My second child-son-was born one day before her first birthday and-lo and behold-naively thinking it just wouldn't happen again-when he was 3 months old, I was pregnant again! My 3rd-daughter-was born 4 days before his 1st birthday!!!I was advised to have my tubes tied whilst I was having her as all my children were born by caesarian section. I did, but I must have been addicted to being pregnant as it's only now-five years on-that I've come to terms with not being able to have any more kids! I think i'd have carried on forever.....!!!!

Wow cutekids!! so you have all 3 birthdays in the space of a few days!! that must be a very expensive month! they are worth it though arent they! mentally i have never grown past about 8 years old so my kids are more my little buddies! - so the more the merrier!!!

I'd stick with the two I already have, then try to adopt children.
