How many children are too many?

I have 3 kids and my husband wants no more. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease when I was pregnant with my 3rd child and I had to do chemo after having him for 5 months and then 18 days of radiation. Everyone says that my body has been through enough. I know that having another baby would be crazy for us, but as my sons 2nd birthday approaches, I am getting serious "baby fever". What do you think?

I don't know about you, but for me 1 kid is too many. This is something you and your husband BOTH have to agree on and be ready for. Maybe you should wait awhile and see if the "baby fever" wears off. And considering your son's going into "the terrible two's", it just might!

Well, I have been through the terrible two's twice already. It should actually be the terrible three's. 3 is worse. I wouldn't want to have another one right now becuase I had my second child before my first turned 3 and I had my 3rd child before my 2nd child turned 3. It is hard when they are that close in age.

I think that having too many children would mean that you're having more children than you can take care of both financially and emotionally. For myself, I think that 4 would be too many.

I agree as well as that answer will vary from person to person. For me, I would think would be the most that I would want to have. I definitely would like to have two so that my child has a brother or sister to grow up with and won't be alone when I pass away. Some people want a lot of kids, some want a couple and some do not want any.
