So how many earth babies would be your optimal number?


We plan on stopping after the next successful prenancy so that would mean 2 for us.

[jademyst13]

At least two, but maybe more. I know Derek wants alot of kids, but even before our loss I told him lets take it one pregnancy at a time and see how we feel.

[Melanie0507]

We would like to have 2 more, so that would be 3 all together (but, it also depends on the gender of the next 2...I really, really want to have a girl, so if the next 2 are boys, we won't be done )

[babyblue]

I'm pretty sure we'll be done after one more. That is the plan right now.. but I'm not ready to close the door completely.
We'll see how the next pregnancy goes.

[katiegirl]

We have decided that 3 is the limit for us.
So after we have the next, the baby factory is closing its doors for good

[Banned-ZoesMom]

I want three, Mike only wants two, but we'll stop after two. Mike will get a vasectomy and I'm gonna get a hysterectomy after the second one. I need to focus on my family and not the daily pain I suffer from my endometriosis. But I'd like to have at least one more. If after a second one we decide we want another, we'll adopt.

[steph&dam]

we agreed on 1, but if twins come knocking on my uterus, I wont complain!

[MaMaTuTu]

4-6, we're still not sure. I tell DH that our kids are just too cute to stop!

[..Jessica..]

I want 3 total children including Markus, so 2. Their genders do not matter to me

[fairy9800]

I just want one more baby so that would total 3 for us. At least thats what I say for now. About 3 years after having a baby I go through withdrawls and want another LOL but I know DH will stop me.

[priddymama]

4, so two more for us. We may adopt some more after that depending on where we are living etc etc

[mom 2 haley & tyler]

We want 1 more. That would make 2 for us...

[cam & sami's mom]

I want a total of 3, so 1 more. DH would like me to consider having 2 more for a total of 4. So, I'm hoping next pg is successful & twins. Both of my grandfathers were twins. In fact, my paternal great-grandmother had 3 sets of twins, 1 set of triplets and 1 single birth and 8 years. I can't imagine having 10 kids 8 & under. This was way before u/s so she had no idea how many babies she was having each time. The single birth was her last, I bet she was wondering where the other babies were!

[Lv2Mommy]

Well, we thought we wanted four, but here we are TTC #5... DH would like to leave the option open for another after that, but with my age, who knows if that'll happen.

[shanesmommy]

we want at least one more. that way shane will be a younger brother or sister. we will see how this one goes.

[Brittanie]

I've always told myself that I wanted at least 2 of each, but I hate even numbers, and I DON'T want 7 like my mom, so that leaves 5. lol.


DH has 6 kids in his family, so we both are expecting a large family, but I don't think he has a set number in mind. He keeps saying, "why don't we just take them one at a time and go from there?"

[Mommy2Makenna]

Twins runs in my family, so I'm hoping for a double blessing when it comes and if that happens we would probably have one more for a total of 3. Otherwise, just 2. (Right now, I'd settle for any!)

[MrsPoe]

Not getting greedy, but I would like to have 2 living children. I would love to just have 1 right now, but I am sure I would want the baby to have a sibling to play with.

[LindsLuvsSi]

We want six! 3 of each! (maybe more than six!) We gotta get the first one first and hopefully that'll be soon. We said that if we have our 6 by the time we're 40 then we'll stop but if we have 6 before 40 we may try for 1-2 more or adopt 1-2! (DH has 8 siblings, 4 sisters and 4 brothers) I'm so glad he loves kids and wants a big family too so I'm glad!! I hope we at least get 5!
