I read a biography about her a while back and remember thinking she might’ve been happier if she hadn’t had so many kids.

She definitely would have been happier with fewer kids, but she loved sex and there wasn't exactly reliable birth control, especially for high-born ladies. Ironically if she hadn't been so disgusted by breast-feeding her own babies it might have helped space out her pregnancies more.

Victoria hated being pregnant and from what I've read, basically held each kid's birth against them (Bertie I believe was the hardest). Her last three kids were born when she could have chloroform for pain relief during labor and it's been noted that she seemed to have more affection for those babies way more than their siblings. She even considered her last child, Beatrice to be very pretty as a baby (had special paintings of her done and everything), when before she'd maintained all babies looked like frogs.
