Baby Fever

The Bride, on June 18, 2019 at 9:18 PM

Posted in Family and Relationships 100

In a little over two years, my husband and I have plans of being first-time parents. We would love to have twins, specifically a boy and a girl. After much research, we've decided that the best option for us is to have a home birth with the support of a midwife. Do you have children? If so, how many...

In a little over two years, my husband and I have plans of being first-time parents. We would love to have twins, specifically a boy and a girl. After much research, we've decided that the best option for us is to have a home birth with the support of a midwife.

Do you have children? If so, how many and what was your delivery process?

If you do not have children, how many do you want and by what means? Natural? Adoption, Surrogacy? Sperm donor?

    I would love to have four! I’ve always wanted a big family so five would be amazing to me but financially I think we would only be able to handle two at the most in a few years.

    I have two children, 1 natural birth and 1 c-section, both in hospitals. Both were delivered to term. I am very happy with the family I've got.

    I hope OP that you will get to have the births you want. I think midwifery is just as good if not better than traditional birthing methods.

    I have such bad baby fever! I don't have any children yet, but my sister has 4, other sister has 2, and my FH sister has triplets and the other has 2. It's his generation to have twins and twins run in my family. I would be ok with this too! Although, i know i say this now, but we said we only want 2 or 3 kids, I think I would be kind of sad the if the first time around we were pregnant with twins only because I know we wouldn't have any more if that was the case and I think I want to be pregnant more then once! Lol but who knows! We are planning to start trying right after we get married. We get married 3 months from today! I started taking prenatals as well! I wish everyone the best of luck when they start trying to conceive, and to have happy heathy pregnancies and babies!!

    Are your children with your husband? If not, do you plan on having children together?

    *warning long post* I have 5 kids. 2 girls, 3 boys, that order. My oldest daughter was a twin but I lost one of the babies very early in the pregnancy. I didn't even know I was pregnant at the time. I had a few complications. I ended up with preeclampsia and was induced 23 days early. After she was born, they couldn't stop the bleeding and I didn't get a chance to hold her for about the first 7 hours of her life. I ended up with chest xrays, 2 blood transfusions, a DNC, and a fever that wouldn't go away. 9 days later we finally left the hospital.
    My 2nd daughter was induced 2 weeks early. That was an easier birth. Epidural for both my girls.
    My oldest son, no epidural (not by choice), a week late, and came out with head full of beautiful red hair.
    My middle son is the only one who's water wasnt broken by a doctor. My water broke on it's own and it was a weird experience lol having your 4th kid, you'd think nothing could surprise you at that point.
    My youngest baby, came in the middle of a sleepover for my oldest son, I ended up driving myself to the hospital, the nurse couldn't find his heartbeat, he came out purple but was fine. He didn't have a name until after he was born. His dad and I couldn't agree on a name for baby no-name lol yes, that's what I called him at the end of the pregnancy.
    They were all born in a hospital, no c-sections, ripping, or tearing. I lucked out

    I have 3. 2 boys and a girl. All three were hospital births. All 3 babies were late. (2 days, 6 days, 9 days)

    It took me 2 yrs to get pregnant with my firstborn. I was 25 when I started trying.

    I was induced for my first born............he still took two days before he finally showed up. I had an epidural but it never kicked in.

    My second son was slightly complicated, he was born with the cord wrapped around his neck and I did need intervention but just because when he decided to come he was fast and furious but all was well in the end.

    My daughter was easy breezy and she's still the easiest child. LOL I ended up reaching down and helping "deliver" her myself.

    Midwives delivered all 3 of my babies b/c I was more comfortable with their care and that was just what I preferred, but I'm happy that I was in the hospital just b/c with both boys I did need intervention that I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere but in the hospital.


    I wish you much luck and blessings!!!
