Oh, ours are 28 months apart, and I would have spaced them more like 3 years. |

| Two girls, 27 months apart. Have loved watching their relationship grow through these months at home. Our youngest just turned 2, and we are thinking (maybe) about a third. |

Six. Four natural, two step. Four girls, two boys. There are three girls in the middle that are clumped together age-wise, but it's mostly fine. The youngest boy often feels left out from them. I wouldn't change things. |

4. Boy, boy, girl, boy.
I guess that if I were in charge of it, I would have made my youngest a girl. I am happy with the number. Sometimes I will dream that I am pregnant though, and I wake up really happy until I realize that it was a dream, and we aren’t having any more. I don’t know if other women do that or if that feeling ever goes away. |

I wouldn't change a thing about my kids right now, especially given the pandemic! I can't imagine how purposeless I'd feel right now without children. They are by far the best part of every day. And no, I don't think there's anything wrong with having children, and yes, my husband and I are both working at home full-time while caring for our kids, but I still wouldn't have it any other way. |

3 - Boy, Girl, Girl. All 2 years apart. I LOVE it. It's so fun having three - they're all close and having a big family is great. We wanted another but after 3 miscarriages, we decided to stop. Now I feel like my family is complete.

| I have 1 daughter then went through years of infertility issues. I finally realized I loved the little family I already had and am now 100% content with it just being the three of us. |

Yep, the last question is weird. Unless your child is Hitler or Osama bin Laden, why would you want to erase your child's existence? |

What are you doing here? Are you sure you’re happy being childless? |

DP (I have 2 kids). Why attack a poster just bc they are happy with their choices? Your idea of happiness does not equal someone else's. |

Girl/Boy/Girl, each about two years apart. No regrets, wouldn't change a thing.
The last baby was pushing it for us, I'm glad we did it but I think I'll be happier when we're out of the baby yaers |

I have one and would have liked more – infertility and recurrent miscarriage. I don’t know what I could’ve gone back and changed, though. The Asherman’s syndrome that caused the miscarriages was caused by my C-section, and without the C-section one or both of us would have been dead, so I can’t regret that. I was nonplussed when I learned I was having a boy, because I don’t feel like I know very much about boys! I had really wished for a girl. But now that I have my son, I couldn’t imagine having a different child. So no, I wouldn’t change a thing about the one I have. |

Two kids, 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl (27 months apart, to be exact). Very happy but would have loved to have one more if my spouse was on board. ideally I would’ve wanted the 2nd and theoretical 3rd child to also be 2 years apart so our 3rd child would be 1 at this point. Still want another even though if I got pregnant right now, our other kids would be 6 and 4 when the 3rd was born. I imagine by the time our kids are 7 and 5 I won’t want a 3rd anymore bc the age gaps then would be too great. So it probably won’t happen but I have about 2 years to hope my spouse changes his mind
