Did you change your mind on how many kids you wanted after your first child was born?

Question

Answer

I have 1 and my pregnancy and birth experience was horrible so I keep saying I'm okay with only 1. We'll see a few years from now.

Answer

I want less and my husband wants more…

Answer

Childbirth (natural) was like 10x worse than I expected, same with pregnancy, I was miserable. Before I was pregnant I wanted to have like 5 kids HAHA. Immediately after giving birth I said I am never doing this again, period. Then of course a week later I couldn’t imagine not having another baby. I think I’ll have another one but I keep forgetting how hard pregnancy and birth were. I am also 33 so I don’t have as much time as I wish I did.

Answer

Not after my first one. We wanted four total. My boys are 4.5, 3, and 1. My middle one was diagnosed with autism when I was pregnant with my little one. And it has made us question whether we want a fourth one or not, since my middle one requires more time and attention than normal children and also has therapies.

Answer

I wanted 4 children and then I met my partner who has a son from a previous relationship. 
We then agreed on 3 together then we had a our daughter last January and I'm now due in 11 days with our second together. 
I think this might be it for us though lol. 
We have a 9 year old (his son), a 1 year old daughter together and another daughter due in 11 days.

Answer

Not after my first. But after my second. I used to want 4 kids. But now, after realizing how hard it is to have multiple children, I MIGHT want one more once my youngest is older. But I couldn’t handle more than 3.

Answer

I wanted 6 kids, after my now 4yo I only need her lmfao. Orrrrr maybe at least 3 total lmfao.

Answer

Didn’t change my mind. Had an additional anyways. Ugh. 😂😭

Answer

I always thought I’d want 2. Pregnancy sucked and right now we have a pretty good life balance. Sometimes I want another and other times I’m ok.

Answer

I still want 3 but my husband wants to be done. (We currently have a 2.5 year old and 5 month old.)
