How many kids....

girlymama79 · January 2015

Would you have if money and fertility was no object?

I saw this on another BMB and it looked fun...and I'm board.

I would have 6-7 the hardest thing for me would be what would I drive!!

Bednarova · January 2015

2. I'm pregnant with the second!!

elbowpasta · January 2015

Before I ever got the BFP, we talked about 4 or 5. Now, I really don't know if I'm going to do this again... But we'll see.

Karissa764 · January 2015

4 would be perfect for us!

mamayo26 · January 2015

We are 2 and through. We want to play man on man...not zone.

kristennflickk · January 2015

2 and then I'm done. Two is the magic number for both of us!

housewifebecomesher · January 2015

Keep in mind every pregnancy is different and God has a way of making you forget the awful parts of it when you meet your baby!!

We would like at least 3, maybe 4. But this pregnancy has been much harder than the last so we will just have to see.

Even in a fantasy I don't think I could handle more than 4!

leenziepops · January 2015

I would have 4. I'm one of 6 but us 4 girls grew up together then the next two came with a big 8 year gap between me and my brother. 4 just seems great for a party. Kids can pair up and you dont get the middle child.

devyns2nd · January 2015

MH has five and I'm working on #2. So seven is a good stopping point I think.

tiffbot1985 · January 2015

We both want 3, but I've been thinking about 4 more since having DS!

thelittlestbee · January 2015

In a perfect world: 5 kids. In real life we're going to try for 2 or 3.

This.

When I was younger, I wanted 4-5 but I didn't have my first until I was 35 so we are going to quit at 2.

megtyrrell · January 2015

We agreed on 2 at the most. But I don't know if I want to go through this again. We'll see!

sammyca · January 2015

This is #3 and I think I might be done. DH would like 4 and he may convince me as long as I never have to drive a minivan.

kej0004 · January 2015

I want to be done having kids when I'm 30 (I'll be 25 when baby #1 is born in June). Maybe 31-32 if we don't feel quite done, but I like the idea of having all the kids out of the house/college/payroll when I'm early 50s.

That means we've got 5ish years to crank out more kids...so 3 will probably be our magic number. We always said more than 1 and less than 6, so 3 works out well.

We'll see how I feel after #1 though. "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men..."

BabyList · January 2015

If children just magically appeared without all the pregnancy issues (fatigue, ms, RLP) I would have 5.

cnoelle92 · January 2015

My boyfriend wants like 6, but this pregnancy has been horrid with all the ms that I had. This pregnancy is my permanent birth control.

mmo2112 · January 2015

Three is our absolute max. Even if we were living in the lap of luxury, I don't know how we'd handle more than that!

AndasKnits · January 2015

I grew up an only child and always hated being alone. Always wanted at least 2. Now with being 33 and pregnant with #1, who knows, hopefully can still have at least 2

Hmm...if money and fertility was no object, we'd have 3 and adopt the 4th.

This is a really good point. I'd definitely adopt an extra if all the hurdles/financial burden were non-existent.

lfaithlove · January 2015

I think 3-4 for us... Mayyyybe 5. For us it depends on how close out children end up being, because we have a goal age (like my age) that we want to be "done".

taisree · January 2015

3-4 maybe? My SO always jokes we have to "beat" his sister who has 4 kids.

Jtdd · January 2015

4 if I could give birth to 3 year olds. I mean I love the whole infant toddler stage but it's freaking exhausting... Or maybe if I didn't give birth to little insomniac

mccall35 · January 2015

This is 2, we're thinking maybe one more after. We also like the idea of adopting, so we might have one more and adopt a 4th later in life... Or be done after 2 and adopt a 3rd sometime in the future.

veggiemo · January 2015

I've always wanted 2. DS has been a challenging child so for awhile there my husband wouldn't agree to a second. Finances and all that jazz aside, I really don't think we could handle more than two, especially if this next one is anything like our first.

nf0kss · January 2015

Started late. One and done.....MAYBE 2 Max.

elvinnoe · January 2015

Before we had kids, DH and I decided to have one at a time and go from there whether or not we want more. Considering how indesicive we both are in general, it's worked out pretty well that way.

Erinrhea77 · January 2015

This is 4 for us, and we are done. I'm going to be 38 when this one is born, though. If life had been different , I might have had more

sjw91988 · January 2015

I would love 4 but with my history, I am lucky too be having 2. My body and pregnancy do not get along

disney815 · January 2015

I would have 4. This is our third and I would love one more but DH says NOPE! (Maybe once we get out of the baby stage for longer than 2 years he will miss it and we may have another.. You never know)

carolyngrace · January 2015

I'd love 4-6. A few of my own, and a few adopted.

Realistically, I think we'll have 1-2 of our own and then adopt 1 more.

karaelaine1991 · January 2015

As many as God gives us! If it's just the one, that's fine. If it's 10, that's fine too. I was the oldest of 6 and I loved being a part of a big family, but I appreciate how much more affordable 1 would be. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!

bruunk · January 2015

Always thought 3, but will probably go for 2.

starkbaby22 · January 2015

Only two! Oh..wait..3. This one still catches me by surprise!

hulagrl461 · January 2015

I like the idea of no more than 2.

mcp6286 · January 2015

2. I don't want an only child, I know that. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I grew up as one of 5 kids, and there was never enough time/attention/money to go around. So I know I don't want to continue that cycle. I think 2 is perfect - you can each take one and give them lots of attention but if you need to you can easily wrangle two on your own.

CMSullivan326 · January 2015

Sugarbean17 · January 2015

This is #3. We are done this pregnancy has been much harder than previous pregnancies. So if this were fantasy land where money was no issue and I could have a perfect pregnancy with no pain we would have 4-5. We already have a mini van so they would all fit

toodaloo · January 2015

4 at the most....we are currently on #4!

;;)

laurendutch · January 2015

We are done at 3. And that is why I'm getting my tubes tied after my c-section.

neongreen · January 2015

Even if money weren't an issue, I like my house and don't want to move, so I wouldn't want more than three so they can each have their own bedroom. Besides, they already start to outnumber you at three. Once you get to four and beyond, I'd be worried about them plotting a revolution.
