Does anyone regret not having more children than what you have? Or is it the opposite?

I’d love to keep this friendly and not argumentative. Free opinion zone.

Before having kids, we wanted 3-4. We have two and my husband got a vasectomy 3 years ago and we have zero regrets. Imaginary kids are a lot easier than real kids 😅

We wanted 4 kids total, currently pregnant with our 3rd, been an extremely hard pregnancy, and dr recommended this be our last baby due to health reasons. Definitely hurt my heart, but it’s also opened the door for fostering and adopting in the future, so I’m seeing this as a blessing. I personally say i definitely would regret not having more kids, and a part of me will always ache for that last baby, but like I said we’re going to foster, so I pray for that sweet child and am excited to one day meet them, that gives me comfort in our decision ❤️

I only wanted two, and was honestly happy it being that way. But my birth control failed and now we have three, and now I can't imagine life without her. I was complete with two and but now I'm definitely done. Had my tubes removed because I did not want to risk ever having more!

Some part of me may always want a 3rd, I just don’t see it being good for my mental health. Next year, both of my kids will be in school & I want to get back to me, if that makes sense.

I really wanted two kids but my second pregnancy was a twin pregnancy. I love my kids and don't regret having three. However, I definitely would have stuck with only two if my second pregnancy was a singleton.
