Will this be your last pregnancy?

MamaMJ2

Forgive me if there is already somewhere for this but I tried searching and  didn't find anything, So, this will be my 3rd baby and my final. I'm planning on getting tubes tied or soddered or whatever they do-I'm not sure on the technicals yet but will be asking my dr for more info at the next appt. Anyone else in the same boat? I grew up with 4 siblings and always thought my parents were spread a little too thin so I want to make sure that doesn't happen with my kids.

This will be my second, and last, child. I am old and will be retiring once this child graduates college so I'm not pressing my luck on a third one.

Same.  This will be my 2nd and final.  I wouldn't mind a large family but I'm 37 (will be 38 when I deliver) and I just feel like I am getting too old.  My husband volunteered to get a vasectomy which is kind of awesome.

We're 80% sure we're done after this. If it's a girl we're done, if it's a boy we will probably wait a few years before making any permanent birth control decisions. I'm ok with 3, but since DH is opening a new business this summer (so scary!!) it's going to depend on our financial situation when the time is right. 

MamaMJ2

The only thing I'm worried about is what I've read about it seems like if you do it directly after delivery it will take away from  baby bonding time and I do not want to disrupt that in any way.

This is our third and probably our last. We're getting older and are ready to be done with the baby/toddler stage. I love being pregnant, but the first year or so with baby are hard for me and DH and our relationship.

LadyBugMe101

This is our second and since they are going to be 11 months apart we are calling it. We are about 90% sure we only want 2. I'm not saying my family will be complete only when we have sons and daughters, but DH really is hoping our second is his baby girl. He also volunteered to get a vasectomy since my body will take such a hit already with back to back pregnancies. We will both be 29 when our second is born so we will not be making permanent decisions for another 3-5 years.

 I was 99.999% sure I was done before I got my BFP. We have a bigger vehicle, but now we will have to start bunking kids. I know this is a huge 1st world problem (my dad and his three brothers shared one room with two sets of bunk beds). I'm still adjusting to the planning of a third baby now that s/he is making their way here. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm a horrible person.

I'm sure this will be my 2nd and last. I'm having a c-section, so my plan is to get a tubal ligation at the same time. My husband and I are both from households with two children born about 8 years a part. Our children will be 7 years a part, so this works for us. 

Edit: spelling

peregrinefalconx

If this pregnancy works, it will be my last at 2. I have to get a prolapse repair after I heal up and I'll get my tubes tied then.

ArtificialRed

We'll be finished after this. I HATE being pregnant. We like the idea of adopting an older child when we're older and more stable, so we won't guarantee our family will feel complete after this. But no more pregnancy!!

rms924

I think this is my last. Although I always wanted 3, pregnancy takes its toll on my  body. I am not young or I am a huge baby about feeling yucky, but I feel bad that I can't be as helpful around the house as usually am and I am pretty useless at work which is hard on my team and impacts the results I need to deliver. In another world, I would have loved, loved, loved 3 kids.

*TW* I've had a history or losses so I am praying this works out. With the state of my fertility, I am lucky to be pregnant right now *TW*.

My husband has volunteered to get a vasectomy- he was happy with just ds and really is over the baby phase (even though he's only done it once!!).

Airynn Chica

We are done as this will be number 3. I'm not sure I'll get a tubal ligation but the dr presented it. I have to research it more. Truth be told I liked having no periods on the iud. 

Karrotelle

Hell yes. Yes. I'm going for a hysterectomy when these babies are born. The twins make 4 kids for us. Done done done!

BayCamp

DH and I have also talked about me being a surrogate for my sister if we decide on no more babies. She's been TTC for years with no luck. I wouldn't mind being pregnant again since I am one of the fortunate people who has a fairly easy time with it. I'd love to be able to help her like that, especially if a 3rd baby isn't right for our family. 

DH isn't sold on the idea of a vasectomy, but I told him I'm not having unmedicated water births just to be cut open for a tubal afterwards. He can take this one for the team. 

TallMomma29

If this pregnancy works out, we'll for sure be done (4 kids!).  I already told DH that either he will have to get a vasectomy or I will get my tubes tied (if I have a CS- although I have to do more research... still leaning toward just making him take one for the team since I will have birthed 4 children!), before any sex will occur.  Our second was a surprise (found out when our first was only 5 months old), so definitely not risking that again with newborn twins!

pawcall

This will be my second and probably last. Idk how hard we'll try to prevent but it took a lot of intervention to get pregnant and we won't do that again. 

pawcall

My ex had a vasectomy after my 6yo was born. He's a huge baby and he did fine with it. It was done on a Friday and he mowed the lawn on Sunday no issues. 

ArtificialRed

Yeah, my DH has already agreed to the vasectomy. It's just so, so much easier on him than on me. And cheaper. 

KT&John

This will be our third baby and our last. We waited a while for "the time to be right" before making our decision to have a third child and I will be 40 when this baby is born. I will be having a repeat c-section and will have my tubes tied at the same time.

abs1686

This will be my second and our last. I don't want to be outnumbered and I want to be able to give them opportunities in life as they grow. my husband was voluntold he'll be getting a vasectomy and he is totally on board.  I appreciate that he's in agreement with it given everything I'll have gone through to help grow our family!

ariasbabyblog

This will be our 3rd and last. I have to have a repeat c-section so I will get my tubes tied, cut, and burned then, and DH will also get snipped since it is cheap, easy, and another layer of protection. 

elsieisamoocow

Assuming this is a take home baby for us, we will probably be done after this. 90% sure we will be if it's a girl. If it's a boy, I might want to keep trying in a couple years but DH only wants 2 kids. Age isn't a worry since I'm 28, but I hope that it's a girl because I don't know if we can handle another stressful high risk pregnancy. 

JDW0325

Hopefully not! I have a 3 year old son, this bean, and hopefully 1-2 more! We have always dreamed of a big family.

ShePersisted

I honestly don't know. I am going to be 39 when the second baby is hear. I know I have great egg preserves so don't think I'll be hitting menopause soon but who knows what happens to my body once I turn 40. We needed a RE this time but it was not dire. It all depends on what and how I feel after the baby is here and how much readiness I feel for number 3. I think it's too soon for me to tell. After all I am only 39!!! ;-))

MississippiCatfish

98% sure this will be our last baby. After our third, I would have told you I was 90% he would be our last. But when he started to walk and talk, I knew we really wanted one more. Our plan is to use condoms for a year and then go forward with a vasectomy. 

cottingham3

Yep! We thought we were done after #3. Because he was born at 26 weeks the doc encouraged us not to go through with my tubal. Well, 4 years later here we are and although though we are scared to not repeat the history of our last PG, we are over the moon to be parents again and have another soul in our family! I will have the tubal (or hysterectomy if we can justify it) at the time of my section. I am trying to soak up every single moment of this pregnancy. One thing that happened to be last time, delivering at 26 weeks, was a sort of mourning for the end of my pregnancy. I though that would be my last and was so sad that I missed the big belly and really hard kicks that come closer to the end. We are done this time, for sure

sarahunderthesea

H says he is 100% certain this will be our last, #2. But I am not even 50% convinced. Right now we can only afford 2 but in a few years we may be able to afford another. I always wanted 4 kids, but I guess we have to compromise sometimes. Only time will tell.

KeHill08

We only plan on having two, but things do happen. If we get a bonus baby, then we will be happy with that too... once the shock wears off haha

2Dash

I'm fairly certain this baby #3 will be our last. On the operating table waiting for CS with DS2 I said to myself well one more time then I'll be done. Took awhile to convince DH he was happy with two then took awhile to get pregnant. I will be 36 when this little one comes and I'm feeling I'm completing our little family right now.

AmberG34

We'll be 25 when this baby #2 is born. I am 95% sure we are done after this one. My mom had 4 kids and I told myself that that just isn't for me. I really could've been one and done but fiancé wanted more. If this is a girl we will be 100% done! I always saw myself a mom of boys and don't think I could handle more than one girl so I don't even want to chance it. Lol if this one is a boy I'm 95% we're done my fiancé would like a girl. 

mamabear0528

There is definitely a possibility we'll be done after this one. If we do have a third it would be after this one is about 4 years old so I can finish nursing school. But I don't like the idea of DS and LO being so close in age and #3 so far apart so then I'd probably want another closer together. But 4 babies would be a lot for me, especially financially. We will get an IUD for a few years so we have time to work it out and decide later. 

TeacherMama7

Cool! What business?

TeacherMama7

We have one and we'd like 4. Feeling so blessed to have this little one growing!

froggy994

Yes, we are done after this one, baby #3. After my second, we decided to just not prevent and see what happens. It's always taken us a long time to conceive so I wasn't sure if it would happen again with it effort. I didn't feel like my baby #2 could be my last or didn't feel quite done/complete and am excited for this pregnancy. My first appointment is tomorrow! I'll have another c-section (my third) and will talk to my dr about a tubal. I think that's one of the reasons my husband agreed to not try/not prevent because I said if we had another I'd get a tubal instead of him getting snipped. He's a baby. 

cmessamore

I'm still not sure. I had two DS's before DH I were married and DH had a DS and a DD from his ex-wife. We then had a baby together (DS3 for me) and now we're pregnant with this little raspberry. Total we will have 6 kids. I know it sounds crazy, but a big family has always been what we wanted. DH has agreed to have a vasectomy if that's what we decide. I would also like to get the Mirena again, as I had no side effects with it and I stopped getting my period while I had it. We talk about it every day. Should we be done. Would that be what God would want. Is our family complete. All questions we will weigh out after this baby is born. It's so tough to make these decisions. 

rosalie12

This is our 3rd and last, as long as everything goes well this pregnancy. But still, I'm hesitant to do anything permanent in case we change our minds in the future. DH is pretty positive and I am too, and hell get a vasectomy when we go the permanent route. 

TheLovingWife

We were fairly certain that #3 would be our last baby, but my husband never got around to getting the vasectomy so got ended up pregnant last year,  but that ended in miscarriage. I really wanted to try again so here we are! This w

msjkhn3213

My husband is from a large family (he's the youngest of twelve) and he swore we were done with two. #3 was a bit of a surprise, and again he's swearing we're done. I've always wanted 4, so we'll see He wants me to get my tubes tied when I have my repeat c-section, but I really need to look into that more before I agree!

E3A7AGGIE

This is our 4th, and will be our last. We were actually on the fence about trying for #4 when I found out I was pregnant. So that answered the question, but also definitely verified we are done. DH volunteered a vasectomy. 

hopeful87-2

This will be #2 and we want either 3-4 so hopefully this won't be our last pregnancy! If for some reason we weren't able to have more after this we would adopt or foster.
