When do you plan on having your next child?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

My LO is 3 months and DH and I always said we would wait 2-3 years before trying to have our second. We also said that two would be it!! However......Since having Miss Olivia, she has completely changed our world (Of course) and we are both having so much fun being parents. Theres not a day that goes by that she doesnt make me smile. Even after having the worst day. We were talking the other night and I dont think I can wait the 2 or 3 year for another and I also think I want 3!!

Has anyone else changed thier plans since having thier first??

    I always said I wanted 3-4, now with 2 I think I'm done. You will change your mind a million times, as I'm sure I will too.  It definitely gets harder as they hit toddler hood  =)

    I want 3... but we're going to wait a bit.  I wanna be done by the time I'm 32, and I'm 26 now, so we'll try to space them out.

    We were originally planning on having #2 right away and getting pregnant again this summer but for financial reasons we are "trying" to not get pregnant again right away.  He he, my DH thinks pull and pray is a good method of BC... as I secretly wink to myself and hope that he's proven wrong sooner rather than later...lol...

    We want 2 kids, and want them between 2.5-3 years apart.

    I would love to have 4! DH on the other hand is a bit skeptical lol so we'll probably have 1 more and I'm ok with that!

    i always thought i wanted 2...at this point in time, i'm wondering if 1 is enough!  if we do decide on a 2nd, we will probably start trying when DS turns 1.  it took us a long time to get pg with him, and i don't want my kids spaced too far apart.

    DH and I planned on at least 2 with 2 years between them.  Now I think I want 4 and I want to start trying next month, however DH still wants to wait.

    Yes, my plans changed after #1. I thought I wanted two and now we are pretty sure DD will be an only child :) Seriously, it's really hard work and a huge lifestyle change for both of us so we are going to take a lot of time deciding what's best for our family. Who knows, we could end up with 4!

    We have always wanted 2 about 2 years apart and we still feel that way.

    We want 3 or 4 biological and then we plan to adopt internationally. I think we'll be waiting 2-3 years before getting pregnant again-at least that's the plan right now!

    DH and I want 3 kids  and still feel that way. He wanted them to be 18 months apart but, since having DS he has changed his tune and we agree that we'd like them around 2 to  2 1/2 years apart.

    Hopefully next year--the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned! We're already not avoiding and we'll actively try in Jan if nothing happens. I think DH's plans have changed since having this guy--he wanted to wait a bit longer--but mine haven't! I want as many as we can have and I'm 34 and have IF, so tick tick tick...

    We started trying for #2 when #1 was 7 months old. 17 months later I found out I was pregnant!

    Believe me once you have 2 you may re think having 3! Its tough!! We are DONE!!! If DH likes it or not!

    We will probably start trying when Callen turns 2.  I think that I would possibly think about 3  now when I used to think I only want 2.

    We will probably start trying when DS is 2.  I alwayse wanted 3, but now I may decide that 2 is enough.

    Well, I used to want them 3 years apart... but DS was so high needs the first 3 months, that they are going to be at least 3 years apart, just so that DS will be in preschool at least a few times a week to give me a break if the second one is as high needs too. 

    We also always planned on having an "oopsie" 3rd one and that's still a possibility.  LOL.

    When DS is 2 we will try again. I would like them about 3 years apart (for my sanity). I always wanted 4 kids, DH wanted 3. Now that I have 2 I am open to the idea of stopping after 3. We are just going to see how it goes.

    We'll start trying again next summer so they'll be just over 2 years apart.  I've always wanted 3 so after the second is born, the third will come quickly after.  Granted, I'm 34 right now so we are on kind of a time line.

    We plan to start trying for #2 after DD's 2nd birthday.  I would love to have 3 but we will probably stick with 2 for financial reasons down the road.  I want to be able to fund their college educations and it will be a lot easier paying for 2 kids to go to college rather than 3.  We will see when the time comes though.
