How many children do you want?


Ideally that is? I understand many can't always have as many as maybe they'd like for medical reasons etc but I just wondered what everyone's family plan was.


Hubby and I have always said we'd like 4 children, in theory I will have had 6 as my 1st two only lived for a few hours after birth. But if Smudge is born fine and healthy then this will be my last child, we have 2 girls who are 6 and 4 years and a little boy who has just turned 1 year old. Smudge will make our family complete and I really couldn't care less if it's a boy or girl as long as Smudge is healthy

I think we're going to have two. I'm pregnant with our first and I'd like to wait about 4 years or so before we try for our second one. Hubby has always wanted a very large family so he'd be be thrilled with 4 or 5 kids. However, this pregnancy has been pretty hard on my body and I don't think I will be able to have 4 or 5 kids. Plus I think that financially, for us, two will be what we really can afford and still have a nice lifestyle.

Well 1 is enough for me. If this pregnancy had of been easy I would have said more maybe but I couldnt look after a child and be pregnant at the same time I have been that ill.

1 is enough for us. And I heard it all from my mum about how lonely one child will be on its own and why i wont have more. which is a surprise as she used to go off on one about me never getting pregnant (think she meant that at a younger age though)
