how many kidos do u want?

[SaraBravo]

How many babies do u want? When would u stop? Would u use bc? What bc would u use? Would u just avoid by natural family planning or would u just leave it all up to God and have as many as he wants to bless u with? What spacing would u like personally? What is best for the body and babies?

As for me if its in our means and there is help with cleaning id have as many babies as God wants to bless our family with. I love love love being pg and raising my kidos.

as many as God blesses me with.. be it i have 10 or 2 .. i have one daughter now.. and at 18 months i still dont have my period back..so im praying that it comes back soon so i can start TTC again. I too LOVE being preggo!!

[hollytheteacher]

In my heart I want 3 or 4 but in my head I want two.

DH is pretty dead set on 2.

We are currently working on TTC our second.

I want to know that I can financially take care of multiple children so that is what is making my head say 2. I want to pay for things like lessons, classes, camps and college.

So far after 2 children, BF'ing was very good BC for us. And one fertility returned, I felt comfortable TTC again, since our kids would be over 18 months apart. So, at this point, no formal BC.

I say I want 4. DH is a little less sure about stopping at 4! (he comes from a family of 7, his dad a family of 14!!!) So, big is normal to him! We'll see what happens after #3, then again after #4!

I'd like to have two but after three years of trying, I'll probably never use anything outside of NFP again, so I'll take what I get.

[Adallae]

If I could have as many as I wanted...I'd have 6. I love chaos and fun that comes with large families. Realistically, we'll probably end up with 3 or 4, primarily for financial reasons.

You said it, HollyTheTeacher! In my heart I truly want 4, but it looks like 2 will be it for us, mostly for financial reasons. I want to give my kids college funds and help them buy their first cars and maybe even first homes. I'd love to take our kids to Europe with us and have awesome, active family vacations hiking, climbing and skiing...and none of this sounds like it's gonna happen with 4 kids. I was the oldest of 6, and I loved it, but I think there are some things I want for my kids more than I want more siblings for them.

We're using the Shettles method to try to have a little girl, since we already have our little man, and since I told DH that I absolutely would not be happy without a daughter to raise. We're both really hoping for a little girl, but a little boy may mean that we have to have #3.

[Mama~Love]

As many as I can have! I have 6 now, and TTC#7. I LOVE being pregnant & babies, and big kids are just as awesome as babies (my teens are anyway).

[theirmommy]

Our plan is to have 5 living, 6 total (one daughter was born still) and we currently have 2 living, so 3 more. That said, we don't do anything to prevent aside from extended nursing and NFP. After we're done having biological children (and when they're a bit older), we're considering fostering.

[TheDivineMrsM]

I was one of four growing up, and loved the chaos and fun that Adaelle mentioned... but for financial reasons (and my age - I'm 29) DH and I will probably have less. I want three, DH says two. We shall see.

[AdalynsMama]

I am one of two children, my brother is eight years younger than me. I hated it. My parents both worked full time and some of my earliest memories are of lonliness. I wish that my parents would have been dirt poor and decided to have more kids instead. With that being said, my husband is one of seven children. His parents started with nothing and worked really hard to provide for their children and they have done an amazing job. DHs siblings are truly his best friends. I absolutely want that for my children. I think I want at least 5. We are working on number three right now. I have used all types of bc. The most recent being Paragard. I really loved the idea of non-hormonal bc but I ended up taking it out myself because the cramping and increased flow were awful! I think I want my nexrt two pretty close together so I doubt I'll use anything besides NFP.

Same as Hollytheteacher. In my heart I would love three, but realistically I want two - I have a job that I love and would never give up, and I don't think that it is realistic to have three kids in day care (for me). I also want to be able to send them to college, etc... which I can do if we have 2, but probably not if we have 3. Also, since DH and I are two people, I would like to keep the number of children we have at 2 so that we are not multiplying the population of the planet.

[KingsDaughter76]

We love having our kids- we are open to as many children as the LORD will bless us with...I always knew I wanted a large family since I was a child. Right now we have 7 kids...and are TTC the next one. :-)

[SoCaliMommy]

bad days i feel like 2 is enough. i'd say at most 4.

I have 2 kids now.

I delt with Secondary Infertility ttc #2. and i've been dealing with it again it's been almost 3yrs ttc#3. We will not use anything to avoid getting pregnant.

[SaraBravo]

in my heart I really want 3 more. We'll see what god has in store for us. I don't plan on using anything but nfp from now on so done with bc. That is unless I end up needing it for my hormone levels. I would love to be one of those huge families like the duggar family (they seem like such happy ppl too good 4 them) but that is so not realistic for us. Plus I want to take some classes and be a doula and eventually when I'm done having babies and they r all in school I want to go to school for midwifery. My dreams of going back in the army r over I think so that is no longer going to affect our decission on how many kids we will have.

There are so many types of families here. Big and small. So wonderful! All the babies of all you mommies are so deeply loved they will all be great ppl when grown. Such good examples for parents.

[jenniferadurham]

If finances work out, we will more than likely have 5 total. But we wouldn't be surprised if an 'oops' came our way.

[3boobykins]

TTC #4 now, and that's how many we want.
