What made you decide if you wanted more children or not??
 

We have our Girl Mia 5yrs and our Boy Finnlay 6 weeks. We said that we wanted two children aprox 5yrs apart which we have(we are very lucky)!!I am just sat here thinking OMG I am never going to have another baby,I am not what you would call a broody person ie friends babys do not make me go all broody I adore my own children and I think because we have said no more I am really wondering if its the right thing to do and say def no!or do you keep your options open?:shrug:
Just wondered what made you decide to have more or what made you not decide not to have anymore.

Pretty much once I got healed up from the birth experience, I took one look at little Edward and thought "I can't possibly only have one of these". I still feel that way, he is such a joy, if I wasn't so old I'ld probably have a dozen :D

Well, Simon is the most glorious baby ever invented so he just must have a sibling! :) I would ideally like one of each, but I am happy to have just one more (OH would like to entertain the possiblity of three). I am also mindful of age, fertility and risk, so if it doesn't work out that we can have another of our own for some reason, we will adopt.

I am just keeping my options open, I knew I wanted at least two children with quite a small age gap so I am lucky too :D I am still undecided if I want more, but I am thinking about it so I must do :lol: OH wants another 2! :) I cant imaging Rosie being my last baby in the house & I am only 24 & I always seen myself with a busy house full of kids. I was an only child & hated it :lol: x

well i wanted 4yrs between mine lol...that kinda didnt happen tbh archie was the wworst newborn ever! i no im a meani but he was al he did was cry an cry an cry and cry lol..put me right off another. im preying this `1 is an angel xxx

as im only 16 :blush: i wont be having any more for at least 3 years i hope lol!

but both me and OH are from big familys so noise it practicaly a must have haha, luckily Harriets a really good girl, i had a great pregnancy,birth and labour and if the next one is as good as her ill have 10 haha only joking i wouldnt mind having 3 though.

hopefully once she starts school ill have another 1 or 2 :) x

lookng at alys i could never imagine not having atleast another 1 but ideally we want three! i love being a mummy and im always super broody!

xx

I always wanted 2 but then I changed my mind and figured 1 was better mostly because we can't afford to have 2. But I'm scared of hospitals and had a home birth but afterwards they discovered I carry Group B Strep so I'd have to be on antibiotics and monitored in labour next time which I don't think I could handle after having a home birth iykwim? I also got a nasty womb infection and mastitis and I just think I'd be happier putting all my time and love into him rather than having to juggle two.

I would be happy with just tyler but i would really like him to have a sibling so thats my reason for having another and plus im super broody atm :) x

We haven't had number 1 yet but there is already a plan for number 2. We want 2 school years between them so, as this one is an October baby, we need to leave 24 months at least which means starting to TTC in Feb/March 2011.

Hubby would like to have more but he refuses to drive a people carrier! :dohh:

I'm not particularly broody but I love the thought of us having a family....so 2 is fine, of course this one may have other ideas but I was an only child and didnt particularly like it so would like a sibling for this little monster!
