If I knew all four would be healthy I would be happy about it. The problem I have with lots multiples is that you rarely make it even close to full term and they are typically not healthy, many times they have life long health problems because of being born so underdeveloped.
Plus the comments I would get being a vet and having a "litter" of kids.  I would never hear the end of it from my dad.

Wow. That is really tough! If all 4 were perfectly healthy, I'd have a hard time turning that down.
I would so get together with Astrid (who has triplets and lives near me) all the time.

If they were all healthy, then no problem, it would be difficult until they were about 18!! but iŽd do it.
Also my Nana (mums mum) was a triplet, although only 2 survived the birth, and twins are quite common on my mums side, every generation has at least 1 set!! So I hope it skips me as more than one is always difficult!!

Because I've had a hip replacement I would have to say no. I think that would be too much stress on the hip and I wouldn't want to have to need a revision after just having 4 newborns! Twins might be doable though!

Wow! Quads! It'd be a challange, but I'd be willing to take it on! If that was what was in the cards for me, I'd be happy to. I'm sure I'd have a ton of help (My FIL is retired, my mother is getting close and my SIL is a SAHM) so I'd be definitely calling on them for any and all help I could get.)
I don't know about that stroller though... it looks like something out of Star Wars!

That's a hard one. I would be excited and nervous if I found out I was pregnant with quads. If switched back and forth how I'd answer this, but I think I'd have to say no. Part of that is just because I know the likelihood of all 4 babies really being healthy is so slim. Part of my reasoning is selfish as I wouldn't want to carry quads.

In a heartbeat. A girl I went to high school with had quads a year and half ago. It was all natural. They had never used any fertility treatments or drugs. It is amazing.

I'd say no. I couldn't afford that many kids, our house is too small (& market is too bad to sell) & I have a demanding job.
However, I think the most important issues would be that I think Abby would probably feel really left out and I have some health issues that I think would worsen.

I would probably go with no on this one. I want 4 kids. But, I also want to have them different ages. As much fun as I think it would be to have twins, I don't want to have my kids the same age. I want to be able to have babies and toddlers in the house as long as possible. However, if i was given the choice between quads, and no children, I would take the quads in a hearbeat!

I asked my Dh the same question for fun he said "no". I asked what about 3 babies he said "mmm, I don't know". I said what about 2 and he said "two would be fine".

As much as I want a child right now, I would have to say no. I don't think DF and I could afford 4 children right now. One or if we had twins would be okay, but I doubt we could afford 4 right now. We eventually want 4-5 kids though, just at different times.

All 4 are doing great. They were a little early like most multiples, but there are no lasting problems from it. They are all so cute!

That would be a thumbs down for me. I am 4'11" on a good day, and can't picture myself having twins let alone quads
