1st Trimester

Anyone else think this will be their last baby?

I am pg with our third child and we are 99% sure that this will be our last baby.  I love being pg, and want to make sure I appreciate and remember every second of my last pregnancy.  Anyone else pg with their last?  Are you kind of sad about not ever being pregnant again after this?

Re: Anyone else think this will be their last baby?

  • This is our 3rd too. We always have said we will just take it one at a time and decide if its our last. I definitely knew my last pregnancy wasn't the final one but I don't have that confidence this time. I understand about wanting to treasure it. Even with the annoyances of pregnancy, it is truly a remarkable season and relatively so very short. I am sad thinking this might be my last so I hope not. I hope we will have more. Will see...

  • Yes. Sad Maybe.

    I don't want it to be. I want like 8 kids but DH would rather this be our last. We shall see, I guess.

    Maybe we'll get twins! :P

  • This is my 2nd baby, I can't picture myself having 3 kids so I'm treating it like my last.  Trying to soak it all up, morning sickness and all.
  • I actually thought our first would be our last, but here we are almost 8 years later pregnant with a 2nd. After this one is here and is healthy we will be done. I am not a good pregnant person. It is most definately not my cup of tea.

  • I am positive that this will be my last pregnancy, and I'm not sorry about it at all. I really dislike being pregnant anyway, but now I have an autoimmune disorder that seems to go into high gear while I'm pregnant as well. I plan on staying on birth control until I can convince my doctor to do tubal ligation, and if we decide we want a third child, we plan to adopt.
  • Yes this is our last.  DH thinks if it is another boy he will be able to convince me to go for #3 but I am totally fine with 2 boys.  I've always wanted 2 kids, gender makes no difference to me.  I also think my body has an actual aversion to being pregnant!

  • Oh yes, this is my last. 2 and done. =)
  • This will most likely be our last, makes me sad to think that I probably won't be pregnant ever again. But then on the other hand I want to make sure my dd and LO cooking have the best life and don't want to just have kids cuz I can and not be able to pay our bills. If circumstances change and we decide that we would like a 3rd and are mentally, phyiscally and financially able to then we may change our minds.

  • I always wanted four, but I am thinking more and more that this will be our last one. And I'm actually surprisingly ok with that. :-)

  • This is our 2nd. At this point, I'm pretty sure it will be our last. And to be honest at this point I'm glad I won't be going through this again. I loved feeling movements with DD, but the bad parts of pg (m/s, nausea, leg/back/hip pain, gd, etc) make me not want to do it again.

  • Yes this is my second and I'm 90% sure my last.  I just feel like we are not cut out for too much chaos and two seems like I might be able to keep my household relatively under control (at times anyway lol) and yes I feel the same way, kind of sad about it.  When we were driving to tell our parents I told DH enjoy this because we won't ever do it again.  It is sad but, like you, I am trying to really soak it in and am not in the same rush for it to be over like I was with my first.

  • Yes, it better be! We were actually thinking we were done at 2, but were surprised. It has actually taken us a few weeks to get used to the idea, but we are happy about it. DH will be ensuring this is our last this time - hee hee. We both love kids but we both work FT and have no family around so it isn't easy!

  • This will definitely be our last.  I'm not sad about it, but I'm trying to enjoy the pregnancy experience this time rather than focusing on how crappy I feel.

  • We will definitely be 2 and through.

    DH wants three, I told him when it's medically possible for him to carry the third, we can do it.

  • this is our 2nd & if it is a boy it will most likely be our last. It does make me sad - I am not a fan of being pg, but I have always wanted a big family (4 kids). But DH isn't the kind of guy who can handle a large amount of kids, and $$$ wise it wouldn't be fair for us to have that many kids b/c we couldn't offer them the life we want for our children.

    That being said, i think if something changed drastically financially, we'd probably have 3-4 instead of stopping at 2. B/c then I could hire help :) And that right there is why it's sad :(

  • We actually thought our 2nd would be our last, but we are here happy all over again over our pregnancy for our 3rd. I think this will be our final, I never pictured how many I would have, I thought 2 maybe, but we are excited and just plan to keep moving forward and continue to be the best of parents we can be to our boys and the next baby!!! We love who we have become with our lil family and it makes us proud and happy to be where we are!

    All of this!

  • This is definitely my last.  We always said 2 and we're sticking to it.  I do really like being pg though, so I'm a little sad that this is it!

  • I think if anyone is unsure like I am, first tri is the worst time to make a decision. At this point I'm questioning number 2, but I'm having an extremely difficult pregnancy and in a few months I know I'll be elated. When I'm stuck with my head in the toilet bowl for a.few hours at a time I kind of want to die. My daughter has even started to announce she's sick, run to the bathroom and make noises and spit into the toilet......

  • fh & I just had this talk last night. It's our first together (his 2nd) & I'm 31 he's 36 & I just dont think I can do this again. Im constantly tired & hate the all damn day sickness. I was pretty sure I'd be one & done no matter what but now I too am @ 99% sure I'm done if this is our take home baby but we decided to wait till LO is here before one of us (probably him-yay) gets something done

  • I am 99% sure this will be our last. Even though it's #2 for me, it's #3 for DH. It's all we can financially afford and honestly I've always wanted just 2 kids. My DS really needs a sibling around his age (SS is 10 years older than him). I'm ok with this being my last pregnancy. I won't miss the m/s from the first trimester but I think I'll miss feeling the baby move when I get further along.

  • As long as all goes well with this pregnancy, it will be our last.  I have severe morning sickness and while I love the later stages of pregnancy, movement, etc. I don't feel like I can be a good mom to my DS and this LO if I were to be pregnant again later.  We thought we were one and done, but then changed our minds, but I've never wanted 3 and neither did H - he is one of 3 and has only ever wanted 2.  I'm not sad to have the m/s again but I know I will miss feeling movements - that's just an amazing feeling and I will be sad to not have that again, but not enough to have a 3rd.  My theory is one hand per kid and I only have 2 hands so in theory I only need 2 kids!  :)
