When do you plan to get K/U?

We are sooo DONE. And now that my test was negative, I've kindly asked H to refrain from touching me until he has been snipped. Haha. But seriously, no more.

NEVER!!!!! Haha We are done. 100% positive. We went through a lot to get these two munchkins and we're blessed beyond belief to have been able to have them.

Eh, I loved being pregnant and I know we will have at least one more. Honestly, I wouldn't be too torn up if I got pregnant right now. We aren't really trying per say, but I am playing it a little loose on the birth control. It took is 9 months last time, so we'll see.

We are done and the doctor made sure of it!

We were on the fence after DS1 turned 2. We didn't feel absolutely done or desperate for another. So we decided to quit preventing and see what happened. We had a deadline in place if it never happened and then we'd just be happy as a family of 3.

Along came DS2 and we both knew that we were done. Financially 2 will be difficult during the daycare years. Plus, we lost two pregnancies, one before each of our boys. It is just too hard for us to deal with the struggle about how to keep me pregnant and if we should be excited when we see the positive test.

Our doctor asked around 20ish weeks and we knew we were done, just needed to figure out which of us was going to be the one going under the knife. Since I am a c-section mama, it made sense for me to get my tubes tied while they were already in there.

After DD1 was born, I didn't want any more kids EVER. I was fully convinced that I could not love another baby as much as her. We waited almost 3 years and I was finally ready. This time around I am dreading DD2 getting older -I just know ill miss having a newborn. It hasn't lasted nearly long enough and I'm anxious to have the opportunity to have another newborn (eventually!) Two kids are also not nearly as hard as I thought and I feel like having a third would be no big deal. At this point I am thinking I'd like to try again when DD2 is around 18 months old.

We want one more, but this one will be spaced out about 2-3 years from Grace. DS and DD are only 15.5mo apart. It's really not been that bad, but there's no way I could be pregnant again soon. I get so sick and exhausted, there's no way I could do that with two litte ones.

We are 2 and through! First pregnancy was a 26 week preemie and second pregnancy involved 16 weeks of SBR so I have no desire to have another. If there was any feeling about having a 3rd, it was definitely squashed by the rough experiences I have had. We have always wanted just 2 and now we just made sure of it by having my tubes tied when I had my CS. My family does feel complete now with DD.

I honestly don't know if we'll have another. Baby B is our first, and I always thought I'd want two children. I had an incredibly easy pregnancy and a not so easy induction that resulted in a c-section, but recovery has gone very smoothly so I can't complain. B is a super easy, super sweet baby, but I'm just not there yet when it comes to the idea of being pregnant again. All of this to say, I don't know but if we do have another, it won't be for at least two years because I want to be fully recovered and back in shape before I consider doing this all over again.

I really just don't know yet. A few of my thoughts...

a. This is my first and only child, if I never experience pregnancy, childbirth, and these first few months ever again, will I be ok w/ that?

b. My pregnancy was rough, complications throughout. I know my next could be a walk in the park but I seriously could not stand being pregnant. I could definitely do w/o it.

c. I'm an only child myself...and I love it. Always have. I had a ton of cousins and friends to play with so I definitely didn't miss out being around other children. I know my daughter would be OK w/ it too.

d. Can I love another child as much as I love her? I know this may seem stupid but I seriously do wonder about this.

I'm honestly leaning towards not having any other children at this point. I feel like our family is great now, just the way it is. I can't say for sure if I'll feel different in a few years.

This is me to a T, I always though I'd want two but I'm not so sure anymore. I kinda love our family with just my two boys. Who knows how ill feel in a couple years!

I am done - I had my tubes tied this time. There are many reasons for this - my husband and I have only ever wanted 2, we can only comfortably afford 2, I hate being pregnant, and I hate the newborn period. I am so happy to be done

just noticed your kids names in your siggy... my LO is Kaelyn (no T) and her cousin born 3 weeks later is Ethan. hehe

No more for us. I feel very complete with our family of four. We got pregnant with #2 a couple of months before DD #1 turned 4. I was ready to start trying around the time she turned 3, but DH took some convincing so it was a few months later. I was not interested in 2 under 2, or having them super close together. So far, I really like the spacing.

I was done at 4 (why wouldn't I be right) but my June baby made number 5 for us. Now I am getting the Esure to make sure that we are not going to have another one on accident. I always wanted a big family but financially we are having a rough time. Diapers and all the added expenses are really draining the ole bank account.

Lol @elmoali We'll probably try for one more, but I'm going to hold off until R is closer to two. M is 23 months older than her brother and this stage is just really hard on me. I know it'll get easier down the road, though.

Probably this.  DD is 22 months older than DS and its not easy!  IF we try again it will be when DS is 2.  And my window of opportunity will be short because I really don't want to have kids when I'm more than 35 yrs old.

I feel so lucky to have three healthy children. This may be it for us, although we're still tossing around the idea of a 4th. If we decided to have one more, I'd like to wait till our third is at least 2.5 years old.
