    I want two, but after trying to conceive for the last two years I would be happy to just get one! Ideally would like to have twins and be done with it.

    I have 3- all boys, a 7 year old and 11 month old twins.

    We only wanted 3 children so despite the twins being tough glad I got 2 at once and there is no. Mind is made up we are complete. x

    I'd like at least 4, and hopefully a couple of boys first! I have three sisters and only one brother. I want a change of pace.

    Childfree! Unless you count my two derpy dogs and stupid cat. I love those guys.

    There are too many people on this planet and I never ever want "mommy brain." I know very few who have it, and NO THANK YOU.

    Plus, I teach. I am NOT coming home to more kids!

    via natural birth on purpose? none
    via natural birth by accident? a little boy
    via any other means? (adoptions/steps/etc) open to discussion if I dont have to do it alone and dont have to stop being awesome.

    None! I absolutely adore kids but having some of my own... it's like such a big responsibility! Pregnancy and labour scares me too, but I know that nothing to the miracle of creating new life. Blah who knows, the way I'm going my mind will probably change as I get older. :P

    Don't give into any pressure! You don't have to have them if you don't want to. Children aren't for everyone, and that's totally fine.

    I have 3 living children....all boys.

    They are 11, 9 (10 in less than a month) and 3.

    One of them was a "surprise"...guess which one!

    We also had a beautiful daughter, who died at birth. She would be 14 this year.

    My house is VERY loud.

    I want 3 children (after I finish my undergrad.. or grad school ha). I'll have two biological and I want to adopt the third. Don't really care about the gender, even though having at least one boy and one girl would be nice.

    Right now I don't want any and don't have any...maybe 1 in a few years. If I have 2 then I'm getting my tubes tied so I don't have any more (unless my attitude changes very drastically, lol).

    Absolutely none. I'll be an awesome aunt to my siblings' kids. Maybe I'll adopt someday, but if I do, the kid'll be school-aged. I don't want to deal with babies I can't give to someone else when they stop being cute, and the idea of being pregnant terrifies me.
