Would people really have more children if there was more financial support for it?

Yes they would have more kids.

There's not enough money in the world to get me to do that.

You can only vote on one answer.

Or would the idea of the dangers of pregnancy and delivery as well as the idea of no sleep for two years plus the stress that raising a child entails make people decide to stay childless?

Two parts to this question; personal and general.

I love taking care of kids and mothering them. I am building a whole army of children 🙇‍♀ but none of them are mine biologically, and I am not likely to change that. My own bloodline ends with me for many many reasons.

Generally speaking, people who struggle financially are more likely to have more kids. The correlation globally is the opposite of what you're observing. In prosperity, humans will focus on other life pursuits and passions that are beyond procreation because they got the financial ability to.
