One and definately no more than two children for me.

Two kids were what suited us best. When I was younger I wanted to have a bigger family (I'm one of four), but the way things turned out a tight little group of four was our ideal number.

Since I come from a family with two children (me and my brother), I'd prefer having two kids myself, but since I am already pregnant with my third child and looks like there's no chance of that ever happening now, I suppose three children is where I draw the line at.

I said before that I was very happy with my two but if I did fall pregnant (which is near impossible with my husbands low sperm count) I would be happy to welcome another child into the house if not a little worried about how we would cope!

My Mum was one of 12 and hearing childhood tales of jealously and how poor they were makes me worry about having too large a family.
