I thought I was done at 2

LOL the last few weeks of my pregnancy, I was like 3 is enough. Now I'm back to wanting another one, not right away obviously, and I don't even know if my husband will ever agree to a 4th, but I can dream right?

MH and I have been discussing this the past couple of weeks. This is our first and we thought we wanted 2 but now we're both kind of on the fence. I have a huge family (and I absolutely love that I come from a big family) plus I'd really like for DS to have a sibling but pregnancy really sucked, I had a rough labor and caring for a newborn is hard work! Where we stand now is lets wait a year or two and see how we feel then revisit the subject. Right now with a five week old, the thought of having another sounds like the worst idea in the world. I think it's going to take time for me to warm back up to the idea of doing this all again.

It's amazing how you can forget all the bad stuff!  Don't write off #2 yet

We're done. This baby has made our family feel complete. A third child would feel like a party crasher.

We are done with pregnancy in the Bills's house. My body sucks at pregnancy to the point of being frightening and after a growth restricted 35 week preemie and a 24 day NICU stay I'm not putting myself and my family in jeopardy for another baby.

We have talked about adopting down the road, and I kinda like the idea of a foster adoption. My youngest sister was adopted after being a foster child in our home so I definitely see the appeal of taking a child out of the system.

Definitely not. Lol. 2 boys and I'm done.

This! When I was still pregnant I thought that I may be ok with 3 one day (I had always said I only wAnted two). Now that I have two I am 100% good with only two!

We always said we wanted at least two kids with the option for a third. The twins pretty much too care of that "option" . I had a tubal done during my c-section. It makes me kind of sad because I seem to be pretty good at being pregnant, but at the same time I was already sad about how I was going to split my time and attention with these guys. I also really want to go back to work some day and more kids would delay that.

We thought we would be done at 2 and a few months ago DH was ready to schedule a vasectomy for this summer. DD2 is now a week old and we are tossing around having a third in a few years. I'm just not ready to know that I will never be pregnant, experience birth, etc again. But we don't know for sure if we want another, and it depends on some other factors too.

Have my girl. Have my boy. I am done. I previously considered having three before having any of my babies but after having pre-eclampsia, severe swelling and best rest with DD, then GD, traumatic birth and very difficult recovery with DS now, I am done. Mentally, emotionally and physically! 2 it is for me!

I'm glad I'm not the only one here. Although I know I should focus my attention on this LO and wait till we're a little older lol but I know I would enjoy being pregnant again and giving birth (not bragging, I swear!) I had a pretty easy pregnancy (with the exeption of my fainting spells) and the delivery went amazing! So I would love to keep having more

We're re-evaluating when this one turns two. We take into account each labor went and how each kid is. I could have a house full of kids like my DD. If DS is a hellion, we'll probably be done lol

VineyardMel

Done, done, done! It's easy to make the decision, though, because I'm 41. I am too old to do all of this again! If I were younger I really don't know. I always thought 3 would be great, but at this point I'm feeling very divided and conflicted trying to care for my 1mo old and 18mo old and can't imagine throwing another one in the mix.

I had a tough labor and delivery the first time around and the transition to have our first was though. Second time around labor and delivery was a breeze and a newborn is a cake walk.
