How did you decide how many children you were going to have?

I feel like I'll never have enough children.
Our first died at full term after 8 yrs of TTC
Our second is a beautiful 3yo boy.
I would have more if we could.

Aww, Kateo

I always feel selfish when it I read stories like yours.

I knew I didn't want another when my DS was about 18 months.
I don't enjoy toddlers, and now that my DS is almost six and our lives are getting easier by the day, I don't regret our decision for a second.
I don't think our relationship (or my mental health) would have survived another child.

We always thought we would have 2 or 4 children. We had 2 and were pretty happy with that and then fell pregnant again and were happy with that. We have a 4 year old, a 2 year old and a 6mth old.... I think I'm done and then I think maybe one more. But DP is content with 3 and I think I am too tired to go through it all again. I have had three c/sections, all uncomplicated with quick recoveries.
