Big families? Blended families? C-sections?

How many kids do you have? I’ve had two and my husband had two prior so we’re a family with four kids.
I always wanted more kids but I’ve had two c-sections so they don’t suggest a natural delivery afterwards.
Thoughts? Has anyone had a natural delivery after having a c-section?
Also, what are the age gaps between your kids? Mine are exactly 2 years apart (the second baby came at 34 weeks)

I have only one kid, during the delivery my wife suffered a lot so we decided not to think of next.

@rachelennia It wasn't that much worse than the others . It just took a little longer to heal than the others

Wow! That’s amazing to hear. And how did you recover from the 4th and 5th? Most say 3 at best.

@rachelennia it wasn't very easy,but I managed.Plus my mum wasn't interested at all helping me.I raised them alone as a single parent.We still live in a 3 bedroom house.

I think I enjoy the idea of a big family because I grew up an only child with no cousins or other family. However, raising them is another story hahahaha. I have two toddlers.

@rachelennia Two toddlers can be two handfuls.

Yep. That’s why I hope to be able to deliver naturally but the doctor I had said it’s possible my bones are too small for baby to fit through.
