Does being pregnant make you want to have more children?

Pregnancy? Definitely not. But seeing my girls who are now 4 and 5 growing up and growing out of things, THAT makes me want to have more. I just turned 23 and this is our 3rd. DH is on board for another right away and then one more after that but in a couple years. I could probably talk him into a 6th, but we'll see.

I'm 22, my fiancé is 26, and this is our first baby (a girl). We both have two siblings each and I want our daughter to have at least one sibling. My fiancé really wants a boy in the future! We plan on having our second child in five years. I don't love pregnancy at all, but I do love babies so I'll deal with all of this at least one more time!

Being pregnant makes me want to get fixed.

I definitely think u should go for it. Yolo seriously. Take the opportunity to have the family u want while you can imo. I used to want a big family with 4 kids but aftter a horrendous first trimester i have no clue how im gonna make myself go thru that again. I still want 4 but idk if i can survive that.

I've always wanted lots of babies. When I imagined my life,my house was full of kids. But after this pregnancy (FTM) and how rough it has been, 2 might do the trick for me. I guess it will depend on my next pregnancy. If it is a hard as this one we will probably look into adoption for one more baby.

We're probably one and done. I'm not sure how we're even going to afford this one! If I had made different life choices and was in a better place financially, AND could SAHM, I'd love to have three or four. But especially considering I'm 34 now and will be 35 in just a few more months, this little nugget will most likely be it. 

Honestly, my brother and I weren't close growing up, and the hubs is an only child, so I don't feel like we *need* to have siblings, not really knowing what I'm missing there anyway.

@finchfeeder80 honestly after this pregnancy sucking (migraines) I really would be fine with just one.... But my husband I don't think will be. And I agree with you on finances. We do well for ourselves but I have 40,000 in student loans yet from attending a private nursing school and have always found reasons to push off paying more than the minimum.... Bleh.
