Louise Thompson wants to have four children with Alik Alfus.
The 'Made in Chelsea' star has revealed that although her boyfriend is currently living in his hometown of New York while she remains in London, they've already discussed starting a family but she's worried about carrying a baby because of her tiny frame.
Asked how many kids she wants, Louise exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Four. He wants two.
"I'm small as well, I haven't really considered that. I actually hate the idea of child birth and being pregnant. I have a weird phobia of my stomach and people touching it anyway so the idea of that, having an alien inside, is really odd! "Hopefully the baby won't be too big. Or else I'll topple over."
The 25-year-old beauty - who previously dated co-stars Spencer Matthews, Jamie Laing and Andy Jordan - has even set out plans for where her future family will live and where the kids will go to school.
Speaking at the launch of London's first roast potato pop-up experience 'Sunday Best' hosted by McCain, Louise added: "I want to have a country house and a townhouse in London, he has a house in Manhattan. I'm like, 'We can have one in the Hamptons, it's fine! That's four houses!' It's great. I want my children to go to boarding school. He wants to be really hands on. I'm like,'No, let's have a nanny!' "
And although they may have different ideas, Louise has insisted she and Alik definitely have a "future together".
She added: "We talk about it all the time so it's just about compromise."

Jodie Marsh has hit out at angry residents who pelted her with eggs as she tried to film a documentary about living on benefits in Jaywick, Essex.
Flags with the slogans "NO MORE BIAS TV' and "PROUD JAYWICK FIGHTS BACK" flew overhead as the angry mob ejected the former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star and her production crew from the Brooklands estate - classed as the most deprived in England - as they filmed a documentary for the Discovery Channel.
But Jodie, 36, has retaliated on social media site Twitter in a series of posts that attempt to win the residents' trust and warn them of the potential for bad publicity.
She wrote: "People of Jaywick: do NOT tar me or my film crew with the same brush as others. I pride myself on making HONEST, fair, decent documentaries
"... I know you have been screwed over by other film crews but I do NOT screw people over. I have been screwed over myself so I'm with you!! (sic)"
She went on: "I didn't JUDGE you, so don't judge me. If you watched any of my shows you would categorically KNOW that I don't stitch people up!!
"You will only make yourself look bad if you are vile to me without giving me a chance to talk to you. Think about it.... I'm here & ready (sic)."
Residents were left furious after Channel 5 documentary 'Benefits By The Sea' depicted the Brooklands estate as the "closest thing this country has to a shanty town".
But local builder Danny Slogget - who is working with Jodie on the show - claimed they weren't allowed to "explain" their intentions.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's very disappointing as they didn't give the TV crew the chance to explain ... I was going to film something positive with them, but since this happened I haven't heard anything back, I'm very upset about it."
Meanwhile, filming for the documentary in Jodie's home county was concluded in the nearby Tudor estate.

Markus Feehily won't take part in 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' because he's scared of birds.
The former Westlife star - who's old bandmate Kian Egan was King of the Jungle in 2013 - could think of nothing worse than being eaten alive by pests as the thought "terrifies" him.
He explained: "I've been asked to do all the main reality shows. The idea of being buried alive in a coffin with rats in the jungle absolutely terrifies me.
"I have a massive phobia of birds and remember seeing Johnny Rotten have bread attached to his entire body while two or three ostriches were attacking him in a pen."
The 35-year-old star is a fan of watching the show and despite being too frightened to go on it, he thinks it would make great viewing for people if he did.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's fun to watch - but I would have a cardiac arrest. It probably would make great TV, seeing me screaming for my life."
And Markus was so proud of Kian for winning the reality show that he was jumping up and down and shouting at the TV in excitement.
He previously said: "I was literally screaming at the TV when Kian was in the jungle. I was literally doing back flips when he won."

Caroline Flack "definitely helped" Olly Murs cope with his split.
The 'Never Been Better' hitmaker - who split from girlfriend Francesca Thomas recently - credits his 'X Factor' co-host for making things a little easier.
When she asked if she had been a help getting over his split, he replied: "You've obviously had a split this year, so it's nice to hear how you've coped with that. You have definitely helped me."
Caroline added: "I taught you all about the phases. I think it's important to talk about that because it makes it easier. I literally did everything I could to try and get over it. I would Google things like, 'How long does this last?'"
And 35-year-old presenter would have no problem setting Olly up with her pals.
When he asked if she would, she told him: "Yes. Of course I would!"
However, it is a bit too soon for Olly as he admitted: "Not now. It's too early now. Come back to me in a couple of years."
Caroline also grilled the 31-year-old singer about rumours the pair are together, with Olly insisting show boss Simon Cowell is just having a "laugh".
He told The Sun newspaper: "I haven't told him off yet. Obviously I'm not going to tell him off... The thing about it is that, even when we were on the show, Simon is always joking around and he is always trying to make you feel awkward.
"I had a girlfriend Francesca and obviously Caroline was hosting with me and he was like, "So, when are you and Caroline going to get together?" And we're like, "No, Simon!" We just always joke, it's kind of Simon's way of having a laugh. He's probably going to do it every week. But we have said it a hundred times, we're just good mates. If we did this for another 15 years, everyone would still be saying it."

Jenny Garbis didn't see 'The Apprentice' as a competition.
The 23-year-old graduate became the third candidate to be sent home by Lord Alan Sugar on last night's (21.10.15) episode of the show after failing to purchase two of the items specified in the task and she's now claimed she got on well with all of her fellow contestants.
Asked if she clashed with any of the other candidates, Jenny exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Not really because I didn't really see it as a competition in the sense that I'm against these people. I know that sounds ridiculous because it obviously is a competition and it's one of the biggest competitions in the UK viewership wise but actually I just didn't see it that way.
"I saw it as me, Lord Sugar, how am I going to get there. I don't think that's something I've done wrong at all, I think it's actually very admirable that I stuck to my morals and values and respected other entrepreneurs."
Jenny also admitted that while she would have loved to have worked with Lord Sugar, she's not too upset about missing out on the £250,000 investment up for grabs because a tech start up she's working on recently received £10 million in funding.
She explained: "What people don't really realise is that, actually, giving away 50 per cent for only a quarter of a million is quite a lot of your business to be giving away. So when we got our £10 million in funding from the US hedge fund ... All I'm going to say is you can get a lot more money for giving away a lot less equity.
"So I think that while it's an amazing opportunity and everything, it's not necessarily the worst thing that I didn't go into business with Lord Sugar but I think, for me, it was more about having his credentials and his passion for the renewable energy industry that I was interested in."
'The Apprentice' continues next Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.

Marnie Simpson doesn't think the 'Ex on the Beach' beach is big enough for all of her ex-boyfriends.
The 'Geordie Shore' star has confessed that although she'd love to appear on the MTV show, she's not sure there would be enough room for all of her former flames.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the launch of Lovehoney's new lingerie collection, Marnie admitted: "Yeah, I would definitely do that. I've got a lot of exes though, I don't think the beach is big enough.
"I'd be like 'The Bachelor' but The Bachelorette."
The 23-year-old star - who has previously had flings with her co-stars Scott 'Scotty T' Timlin, Gary 'Gaz' Beadle and Aaron Chalmers - added that it would be "entertaining" to come face to face with ex-fiance Ricky Rayment on the reality show.
Meanwhile, Marnie has also responded to her co-star Holly Hagan's claim that she knew her and Rickie's relationship was going to go "downhill" after he proposed to her on 'Geordie Shore'.
She added: "Well I think she's right if I'm honest. It actually did all go wrong from then. As soon as we got back from Greece that's when it all went downhill so she was right."
And the brunette beauty claimed that while she isn't in touch with the former 'Only Way Is Essex' star anymore, her co-stars still speak to him.
She added: "They can all still talk to him, they haven't got to stop talking to him."

Marnie Simpson thinks she and Ricky Rayment could get back together in "ten years time".
The 'Geordie Shore' star has admitted that while there is no chance of a reconciliation between her and her former fiance in the near future, she would consider getting back together with him when they're both ready to settle down.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the launch of Lovehoney's new lingerie collection, she said: "Maybe in the future, when I'm like 30, which is like ten years time, maybe. If I'm still single and he's single."
The 23-year-old beauty confessed that even though she doesn't want to be with him right now, she can't stand the thought of seeing him with someone else.
She explained: "I haven't really thought about him being with another girl yet. It's not a very nice thought but I'm just trying to take one day at a time. It would be really upsetting. I can't even imagine. That would be awful, but what can you do?"
However, Marnie has insisted she doesn't want to start a new romance of her own just to prove she's moving on.
She added: "I don't want to do anything like that. I don't want to rub anything in his face. I think he knows I went on a date with someone. It is what it is, you've got to move on some day and I have different coping methods to him, I think."
