A little envious of you expecting your first child as I remember feeling so happy and excited at the prospect of having a new baby, it's such a wonderful feeling - so enjoy and good luck to you and your new family.
Had first son with ex partner when I was 20, I honestly never gave other children a second thought and just persumed I would only have the 1.
Met my husband when son was 8 and have since had another son and then a daughter.
Yes they are hard work but a lot of fun. Never would have imagined myself with 3 children in a million years but they are the best things in my life.
Had one with husband no1, who is now 8. I did want two but husband was not interested in helping to look after our son, so I decided to leave it at one.
Met husband no2 and as I was 39 we decided not to have any. (even though he was a childless 30yr old) Became pregnant due to a having an operation (a long story) and we now have a 15 month old who is just teriffic! However, there is for me a difference in having a child at 32 and then 39! ie, I feel tiredness more, even though the baby is very easy!
So I got what I originally hoped for in the end!!
Take it as it comes, depends on your partner, and your health.
Didn't really want kids, I thought, but got pregnant at 21 and had twins. Loved them so much, decided to have five!
As things turned out, had a son 9 years later with bloke #2, 2 losses, and now another 7 years later, a final daughter with bloke #3.
I am pretty sure that had I met bloke 3 earlier, I'd have had even more, but 4 is enough!
Not what I'd ever have planned at the start, but I'm happy.
Now my daughter is almost 2 1/2 and I want to repopulate the whole of Leicestershire as I think being a mum is the best thing in the world. The most satisfying and worthwhile thing ever. Its wonderful.
