how many kids should I say I have?

Question

I lost two babies (one at 5&6 and one at 29&3) and I have a step-son and one living daughter with my hubby. Some ppl say I'm wrong for saying I have four kids🤷‍♀️ m not sure.... opinions, ladies?

Answer

Unless you want to talk about the babies you lost every single time someone asks you, I would say you have two children. While you obviously are still a mother to the babies you lost, I would think it would be painful for you and awkward for others to say you have four and then have to explain two passed.

Answer

You're not wrong, only you can decide how you present that to people. I say I have 4 kids, I don't mention the ones I lost or the one on the way because I don't like inviting conversation. I want to just move on, if ik close enough for people to know those things thwy already know. that doesn't mean it's right for everyone.

Answer

You are not wrong. I lost my son at 24 weeks and when people ask I say I have two kids. My daughter Phoenix and my son Bentley who passed.

Answer

Even though you may have had a total of 4 kids, technically you currently only have two, if two passed away. I think it depends on how much conversation you want to start with a person.

Answer

Eh. In your situation, I would say that I have 2 kids. If you want to be more specific, you could mention that one is your step-child, but that doesn't really matter.

Answer

I tell people 2 and my 3rd is due in June.  If it's someone I know or it happens to come up in conversation then I'll tell them 4 angel babies and my 3 are all rainbow babies.  Otherwise, it's not something I talk about much, but it doesn't change I'm their mommy or missing them.

Answer

This is such a personal decision and you can change your answer based on who is asking. If you don't want to talk about it, just mention the living ones. If you don't mind talking about it, you can count them all. I have a friend who has a baby that passed away shortly after he was born and she always includes him when people ask how many children she has. She likes that it keeps his memory alive for her. Everyone is different though! You have to do what feels right for you.

Answer

I have two children alive and 3 angels i say i have 5 children. I have had multpile misscarriages and also state this too. Your not wrong they were conceived this makes them count. Never forget or leave out your angels all because of someones opinions....polite f**k them!!
