Right now I'm thinking if we do I'd like to wait until June after DS turns 3 (so 2016? I think...if my math is right haha)....I'd like the next baby to be a spring or early summer baby....being super pregnant in the summer was no fun and trying to lose the weight when it's too cold to be outside now sucks too.

But honestly, the thought petrifies me. I'm seriously afraid of another bad labor/postpartum experience, and right now DH and I have no desire to go through the newborn phase again. Maybe time will make it seem not so bad...?
We might just be one and done.
I had an awful vaginal birth and recovery after DD, then severe PPD. I swore we were one and done. It wasn't until DD was 3.5 that I was even willing to think of a second. We planned to wait until she was 4 to TTC but got pg 5 months early. Fwiw, my birth and recovery were 100x easier this time, and I had a planned csec this time.

If I can convince DH to have another one of our own we will wait until DS is 2 or 3. We want to adopt a child at some point also. He wants to be done having our own but I can't make that decision at 25....
We are 90% sure that we are done. If we were to go for another, I would not even think of starting to try till fall of 2014. Because I've already had 3 c-sections and I will be 40 that year, we are likely done, but we just can't seem to pull the plug on it 100%.

We plan on trying in march 2014 when he's 18 months. I want to go to Disney World next December and not be pregnant and if we try in March I have 7 months to get pregnant so that is wont be hot as helllll when I am in third tri. I never want to have an end of summer baby again if I can help it
It wasn't even until the last week or two that I was sure I wanted to go for another, ha. I think we'll start trying when DS turns two--I didn't really have any desire to have 2 under 2 and after hearing some of the opinions of the ladies who have 2 under 2 I think I'll stick to those guns.
I haven't been around so not sure what this is about. I think I have it much easier than my two friends that had a newborn and 3/almost 3 year old.
Never! This baby factory is closed! I had a hard time getting SO on board with #2, there is no way in hell he'd agree to a third!!! I'm going to be 40 in a couple weeks, and feel fortunate to have 2 healthy kids. Although, personally I'd have 5 more if I could, I love being pregnant and am sad that that part of my life is over...
I don't really want 3 in daycare. James will start kindergarten Aug 2016 so we will start ttc around June of 2015. Typing that makes it seem so far away. Maybe I can swing a year of 3 in daycare.
i loved being pregnant just hated i had high BP pretty much the entire time, no pre-e though. i also hated how my family worried about me all.the.time. and they still worry about me 3+mo pp.
We are going to talk this time next year seriously about what we want to do.. i have little desire to have 2 under 2 as well.. i cannot imagine having a newborn and a young toddler as well.. we will see then..
In 4 to 5 years when we are financially stable. This one was a surprise while w were planning our wedding. So next time we want to be ready. So we will try late spring early summer of 2017
Having siblings close in age is a top priority for DH and I. We haven't really discussed it, but the earliest we'd go for it would be July or August next year. It took us 18 months TTC with Kate because of PCOS. This time we know what to look for and how to help the process along - clomid the latest would be late winter 2014
Honestly, I really don't know. Some days I'd like a 4th and then other days I wonder how in the hell I'd manage 4 kids, or if it's affordable in the future (when they get older and start wanting more expensive things! and we want to travel, and take them places) I wish H would just make my mind up for me and get the big V, but he says he's scared. I keep telling him that if he doesn't get it done there's a chance we'll have another one, and he is pretty adamant about not wanting another one, so I'm not sure why he won't do it!
So I guess even if I did want another one, I also don't know when I'd want him/her. I don't mind the age gap of the kids now.

Re: When will you TTC again?
Never. DH is getting snipped in March. 2 kids is what we wanted, although I am a little sad that my baby days are over. DS is my little cuddlebug.
I had an awful vaginal birth and recovery after DD, then severe PPD. I swore we were one and done. It wasn't until DD was 3.5 that I was even willing to think of a second.
