1st Trimester

how many kids do you want to have?

Just curious-- how many kids would you like to have?

 I'd love a big family-- maybe 7 kids, some bio, some adopted.

Re: how many kids do you want to have?

  • Im going to get through this pregnancy then we'll decide.
  • Loading the player...
  • Dh and I always said we wanted 1 healthy babe. ::shrugs:: If we change our minds down the road we are open to that but 1 was what we always wanted.
  • I would like to have 3 or 4 but we are only having 2.  Kids are expensive and we're getting too old!  Wink

     

  • I am thinking like 4. But it always depends on how good they are, how good my pregnancys are, and how many boys vs. girls. You are brave to have seven!
  • I am going to start with this one .......then well see

    This... but in theory I've always wanted four.

  • We both would like 2-3, preferably 3!

  • 4-6

    we're going to adopt a few though.

  • One -- and possibly adopt another later on.  Over-population is an issue, and it's not like we live on farms anymore...    so a small family is ideal for us. 

     

     

  • I've always wanted a big family around 3 or 4 kids.  DH was a package deal so I already have a SD.  Only three more and that would be our max. 
  • DH comes from a big family, so we said when we got married we wanted 6-7 kids. ?Financially, we are starting to rethink that decision because living in SoCal is really?expensive. ?I think we will take it one kid at a time- if this one is a girl I will be happy to be done. ?I am actually thinking about being a surrogate for some friends of ours who can't have their own and aren't?eligible?for adoption, so I can get my baby fix that way.

  • we are on #3 .  . . i will be close to 35 when i deliver, so this will be the last.
  • I would like 2 of my own and my husband wants 3. He has a son from a previous relationship so we agree at 2 of our own :-)

  • I would love to have at least 2 and maybe 3 if we feel up to it. If we have 3 I would like to get them all out by 35 which is reasonable considering I'm 27. It will probably depend on if we get one of each at first or if we get two of the same sex, then we might want to try one more time so we can have at least one of each. I would love to experience both!
  • DH would like only 1 (preferably a boy). He is an only child and loves it. I would like no more than 2. We will see after this one.We just have to wait and see.

  • I never promise anything beyond the baby I am currently pregnant with, but we always imagined having 3-4. If this one is a girl, I would think we are done. If it's another boy - we will see, we likely may still be done. But since this was a surprise BFP for me, we obviously are not so skilled at the family planning :)
  • Ideally 2, but I just want to get thru this pg with a healthy baby and then we'll see. I'll be 39 when I deliver this one so probably over 40 when I have the 2nd one, so it will depend if I can get pg again.
    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
  • DH and I would like to have 3.  If our finances allowed I would love to adopt a child as well. 
  • Probably just one...We'll see

  • Well we would like to have at least 3-4, depending on finances later on we could possibly have more. DH comes from a very large family, I have 2 other siblings, and we both enjoy our family. Hopefully we continue to have good luck and have many babies :)

  • We'd like 2 and since so far this pregnancy has been pretty easy we might be trying for #2 sooner than I thought!
  • We want 4-5.  4 for sure!

  • I just want to have this one first before we decide on having one more or not. DH has a 9 yr old son, who I adore and love being a stepmom to, so if we only have this one we would most likely feel like a very complete family.

  • My DH and I have agreed on 2.  I joke that only 2 kids are coming out of this body...if he wanted more he was going to have to birth them himself! 

  • I want 2, I came from a big family and it was really hard form my parents financially. DH just had 1 brother and we think two will be great!

  • Both MH and I have always said 3-4 kids.
  • We want to have 4 DH was 1 of 4 boys and he loved it growing up - I only had a sister and we hated each other and could have really done with another sibling.. we'll get through this pregnancy though and see what happens!

  • At this point, we're thinking 2.
  • Our goal is to beat the Duggars.

    So whatever they do, plus one.

  • I always wanted 3, so one more after this one:)

  • DH and I are thinking 2 - each for one of us to hold...lol
  • We would like 3-4.  But we agreed to get through this pregnancy first and talk about another one in a year.

  • I would like 4 and DH would like 3. We'll see after this little one is born how I feel about more.
  • I would like 4, but if this is a high risk pregnancy like Seth's was, this will be my last biological child, and we will plan to adopt one or two more.

  • we planned on 2, but now we are just gonna see how this pregnancy goes, the financial impact, ect. before we decide on when/if to have the second
  • So far we've always wanted 2, and we've also wanted to adopt. Good thing, because I've already decided I'm not going through another pregnancy! So our next one will be adopted.

  • I'd like 4, DH wants 2, we compromised on 3... God willing.

  • At least two but would love to have 3... depends on how many we can have before 35.  After 35 we are done.   

  • 2, unless this one is a girl then we may try once more for a boy.
