If you hadn't experienced any loss/losses how many kids did you want to have? Is the number still the same or is it different now after going through having a loss/es?



I always said I wanted 4 kids. Now with already being pregnant 3 times but only having 2 kids its weird that this next time will be my 4th pregnancy. I was SOOO sick this last time I don't think I could go through it 2 more times.

I wanted 2, but always thought I might sneak a 3rd in...at this point I'll be thrilled to have a 2nd and it would definitely be our last.

It's not just the losses that have me stopping at 2, but pregnancy for me is also tough...

We have wanted two, mainly because we both had siblings and can't imagine having grown up without them.

However, I'm not getting any younger (I'll be 33 in a few months). How long it takes to conceive the first might make the decision for us. We would be perfectly happy with just one, but two would be ideal.

I guess only time will tell.

I always wanted 3, it's taking so long to TTC the 2nd.. that 2 will be great as well, if I can I will go for a 3rd one

I have always wanted 3 or 4 kids, and that hasn't changed. but it is weird when asked the question how many pregnancies and how many live births.

[.:Shortcake:.]

DH and I have always wanted a big family around 5-6 kids is what we want/wanted. Now I would just love to have one. I'm not saying I would give up after that but I would be over the moon just to have one living child.

We always said two with the possibility of a third. Then my delivery with Josiah was really rough, and we decided we'd be stopping for sure after two. I know deep down we'll get our second baby, but I just didn't imagine it would require so much heartache to get there. And the progesterone is definitely doing a number on my body, so I will be VERY glad when I can close the TTC chapter.

We've always wished for two (or rather 3 - but we can't afford 3 so we're sticking to 2) BUT with all the difficulties we're having to get me pregnant I think we'll going to stick to just one Both of us don't have siblings so our children will not even have cousins. Ughhhh I would give anything to have kids! At least even just one!

I always wanted to have three... but now that I'm almost 30 and haven't even been able to have one, we'll have to see. At this point the thought of even having one makes me SO overjoyed.

We always said at least two, possibly three. But at this point if I can get number two I am calling it a day. It isn't so much the loss, but the never-ending process of TTC that is more than wearing on me. If I can get my rainbow baby I am not going to TTC again. Probably will not do b/c for a few years (doesn't seem to be much point) but will not actively do any.of.this ever again!

I want a large family, as in 6+ kids. That hasn't changed.

[StaceygirlPa]

Dh and I wanted 4 kids. Now with the losses we have had we will be happy with just baby. Although we aren't going to stop trying after baby is born.

[vrock]

I wanted 4 but DH only wanted 2. He has changed his mind when I got pregnant with our 3rd, the one that we lost. We are going to try one more time and if something bad happens again we will probably stop trying and be happy with our 2 that God has given us.

[Sneetch]

I always thought I wanted 4 or 5. I think if I had 3 (living) children, I could feel like I could stop "trying." But I wouldn't prevent having more.

Growing up I always amused i'd have three kids - 2 boys and a girl - but now i'd settle for one happy healthy baby - boy or girl. Fingers crossed this will be our cycle
