How many LO's are you planning on?

This will be my first baby and DH and I had always discussed having two.  However, the more I think about it, the more I think I may want to go for three.

I know that there are many factors that must be considered here (health issues, age, conception difficulties, etc.), but if everything were to go as planned, how many LO's would you have?

Re: How many LO's are you planning on?

  • Four... So one more after this LO.
  • Loading the player...
  • I'd like 4, MH only wants 2 or 3 so we will likely wind up with 3.

  • Four or five. Though it really depends on if I can get through the next pregnancy without so many complications! We have always wanted a big family!

  • I've always wanted 3 or 4, but we have recently decided on stopping after 2. I'm a nerd, so I have a nerdy reason for only wanting two kids. If we have 2, then they will replace me and my husband on this planet and not add to the problem of overpopulation

  • I'd love four but that's unrealistic for us. One healthy baby would be out of this world, two would be a dream come true.

  • For a looong time I thought we'd have three. After what we've been through, we've learned that life doesn't cooperate with plans or dreams. We are blessed with this miracle and she may be our 1 and only. I will forever be grateful for her.

  • Just two. We wanted DD to have a sibling. 

    We are pretty practical and two kids travel well without having to get a minivan. We live comfortably while putting away college money for 2. 

    And, I guess I just feel that's all I need/

  • We will probably have 2 or 3. We are thrilled to be having our first little girl, and if our next baby is also a girl I wold strongly consider stopping - not because I am worried about 3 girls, but because I feel like two girls would be a fun family unit

  • At least two, no more than four. We're leaning toward three.

  • 4. So when E and B are 1.5ish we will try for our last one. My doctor said there is no reason I can't have a successful pregnancy after the one I just had.

    I've always wanted 4 but I don't love being so sick during pregnancy so I told my husband I've lowered it to 3. We'll see what God has in store.

  • I have much peace in knowing this baby completes our family. So two.

  • I'd like four, but financially 3 is much more realistic for us. 
  • I'm 90% sure we're one and done.

  • Two. We're hoping to have a second child 2-3 years from now but that's all dependent on how well we handle the infant/early toddler years with this one.

    We are very grateful to be having what we hope to be a healthy baby, and honestly, I need to see how we take to parenting before we decide on any more. Regardless, we don't want more than two.

    Two provides the sibling experience and support

  • I think two is the most I'd want from both a personal and financial standpoint. So one more after this one.

  • We'll see how one is first, maybe two which is what we both agreed on, three is the absolute max though.

  • DH and I planned on two regardless of a girl or boy, but today he started talking like he would want to try for no.3 if no.2 was a girl! I laughed at him. He's probably all sentimental because we just found out some friends are pregnant with no.4.

  • This will be our first and I'm at the point where I would be happy with just one...but that could change once she's here and starts growing up! My husband wants 2, so we will probably have 2. I come from a larger family and although I love my siblings, I'
  • Maaaaayyyybeeeee two.  It depends.  I'm sure we could financially swing 2, but it might be tight.  

    If money weren't the problem I would be having 2, no question.
