How many children do you want?

Hevz · Dec 8th, 2008, 06:21 AM

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.

OH and I have talked and we've figured two is a good number for us.

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)

I don't know to be honest. When I was a kid I used to say 3 but think I will see how well behaved this one is first,lol!x

me and OH have talked about it and we're thinking 3. Although we're gonna see how well that turns out after our second arrives lol
