I have 2 now. I am pregnant with number 3. Everyone keeps asking me how many I am going to have. I keep saying however many God wants me to. 2 doctors told me I couldn't have kids and maybe I'm just wanting to overcompensate for that. I don't know. I love babies! I love it when they get older! I love it all. However, I have talkid to many people who have 3 and they all say they don't want anymore. But I talked to someone else who had 3 (they were all grown up now) and he said they should've had 4 so that there was never an odd man out.
So what do think? How many do have? How many do you want? Why?

I have one. Would like 2-3 more. No particular reason. I do know that I want at least one more, because I want a son, but will be happy with whatever.

well before I had my son I didn't want any kids. As I was growing up I was an only child until I was 10. I had to help raise my sister and when I was 11 mom did it again she had another one both girls and I had enough. All I did was take care of them I didn't have a childhood. When I was 24 I found out that I was pregnant and couldn't be happier. I am now having another baby and the feeling is the same I can't wait until this baby is born, my son is looking forward to the baby he is 3 yrs old.

I only want to have one child, if my wife and I ever get around to having a kid at all. I only want to have one because I just honestly don't see the need to have any more. I know people who have six kids, and I think that anyone who does that willingly is stark raving mad. They have a decent income, and would be well off if they had one or two kids, but with six they barely get by. I think more than two kids is too many.
I don't believe in leaving my reproduction to chance. That's how I've made it to 30 years old and have been with my wife for 7 years without having an accidental pregnancy. To ensure my plan, I am getting my vasectomy the same week that my first child is born, so that by the time my wife is healed up and can have sex again, I will be healed up as well. Also, should my wife ever change her mind after the first one, and decide she wants another one, it will be too late.

Im 39 weeks pregnant with my first (well i miscarried befor over a year ago at 13 weeks)
i would love to have 2 or three more of my own and hopefully be a foster parent as well. Ive also thought about adopting children. I want to have a big family as long as i can support you know?
my pregnancy has been kind of hard with the sciatic nerve and pelvic pain and more but i absolutly love it. I know after i have my son i will miss being pregnant. I will miss feeling him move around inside me and feeling him have the hiccups. I didnt plan this pregnancy but i do plan on TTC in about 4 years.
"why?" because its so amazing brining a new life into the world. Taking care of someone and watching them grow. i want to adopt and take in foster children because they need a loving family that can take care of them.
Thats awesome that you already have two kids and are pregnant again after being told you couldnt have kids. You must have been thrilled when you first found out.

My husband and I just had our third child. Two boys and now a little girl. Our family is now complete. If we were more finanically able - I would want at least one more. I LOVE babies and it's definently a challenge with 3 kids but I wouldn't change it for the world. Going from 2 -3 kids is easy - just a little bit more stress - you've already handled going from 1 kid to 2 - that's the hardest part! Good luck - you will figure it out in time how many kids is right for you and your situation.

If you are happy with that many then so be it. I would be pulling my hair out LOL I have 2 (Boy and Girl) and would go insane if I was pregnant! I do not want anymore, I am done. I think my problem is that mine are too close together and do not get along AT ALL! It is a constant battle field here and would not dare add another one to the mix! If you would like more and are financially equipped to do so, more power to you!
How old are the 2 you already have?
Good Luck!

I have one, and would love to have more if it's in my future. But, I'm a single mom, so I'm honestly pretty happy with my daughter. If I never get to have more, at least I know what it's like to look at your own little miracle. Coincidentally, I too, was told that I couldn't have children, and not even a month after the last time I was told that, I switched OBGYNs and found out I was pregnant! I wanted to call my old doctor and scream HA! And other things, but....the laugh is nicer, lol.

My husband and I currently have three (two boys and a girl) and are hoping for one more (hopefully another girl, but I will be happy either way) within the next two years. I am lucky enough to be able to be a SAHM and I love every minute of it.
I had lots of brothers and sisters growing up and my husband came from a large family as well, and I enjoyed always having some one to play with and some thing to do. While I don't plan on as many as my parents had 8, or his 6) I really want that for my kids (and while I can't make them feel about their sibs the way I feel about mine, I can still pray for it).

I have one and I'll probably have one more. It's not a matter of the children being a problem, just a money issue. Who can afford having more than 3 kids anymore, 4 tops. The price of living is outrageous and it all adds up. The more children the bigger the house, the bigger the house the bigger the utility bills, the bigger the family the bigger the car..more gas....more food....clothes..and so on and so on. I would absolutely love to have a large family(4+), but its just not economically possible. I wish you luck with your family, and if you can afford to have 10, have 10.

I have 3, and 11 year old, a 4 year old and a 10 month old, I still have baby fever, I think I want at least 1 more, but not sure my love of babies will end when I know that this one will be my last baby, we shall see. I waitress and I gush over every ones babies, I love them, the way they smell, the way they look their little clothes, I could have 100 I swear, but I think that we would be in a cardboard box by then!

I loved being pregnant, babies, children, school mom, all of it!!! I wanted 10 and we traveled so much we settled with 4 because it is really tough to travel with 2 or more very much. Don't let other people tell you. It is between you and your husband. There is usually an odd man out most of the time no matter how many there are. Enjoy them
