maybe it's to soon for this question...

I was wondering if anyone was planning on having another LO after this one? If so, how long were you planning on waiting before trying to conceive again? DH and I want to have our children close together, so I'm thinking we are going to try to conceive once LO turns 1 or 1 and a half... What about you?

DH and I are done after this one. If we decide that we want to have another child later, we'll look into adoption. Probably we'd look into that in a couple of years.

We know we want 3, so yes. We definitely are planning on another one!
We wanted the first two close in age, so exactly 2 years is perfect!

For our next, we will probably want 3 years between # 2 and # 3, since it will be our last. We figure # 1 will be in kindergarten and # 2 will be in some kind of preschool, so I will get some one on one time since it would be my last :-(

we got pregnant within the first 3 days of trying, so we will have to be careful! We definitely want more, but don't plan on trying again until this one is at least starting potty training. 2 in diapers doesn't sound fun.

Going into this pregnancy I was 100% for adopting our next child, and then last week (when I realized I really was having a full term baby and *might* actually completely miss repeat pre-e), I mentioned to DH that maybe we could start planning for a third biological child instead... we'll see what happens... definitely having a third child, just not sure of it will be adoption or bio yet - guess I should wait and see how I feel after delivery Stick out tongue

Before this one, we both wanted 4 children. And we wanted them close together. I still want to have at least 2 or 3 depending on how the next labor goes. He says he is one and done. He didn't do very well watching me in pain...

Hopefully he will come around. I want at least one more!!!

I always thought I would want to have 3 children, but since this being my first pregnancy and a hard one at that...I think we will wait a few years before having another one.

Erin2903 · March 2011

We'll start talking about it after 2 years. But honestly right now I can't imagine being ready for another one. I know the feelings will come but I just can't picture it.

eeyoreem · March 2011

We're planning on 1 more. I think we'll probably start trying in fall/winter of 12 since I think 2.5 yrs is a good amount of time apart. They won't be in the same grade or competing really. My brother and I are that far apart and it was good because we were able to each have our own circle of friends but still close enough in age to get along and like some of the same things at the same time. (including him dating one of my friends) I'm not opposed to adopting and actually considered it before we started trying, if we do adopt it would probably be an older child not a baby so that would make a difference on timing.

When I got pregnant this time we weren't really trying because DH just started law school in the fall. (He's a a honeymoon baby!) But we know we want to have more just after DH is finished with law school and has a job. We don't really have a set number that we want or don't want, we may stop at two or go for 3 or 4.

MarchABC · March 2011

DH and I always wanted 2. I have labor amnesia (even though I went natural) so I'm looking forward to trying again. We will wait until DS is at least 2 to start trying. There are lots of weird statistics that recommend your children be over 2 years apart. I was surprised to hear that the rates of autism and sids are higher if they're closer together. Maybe bogus but over 2 years is good for us anyway.

veggybugg · March 2011

we both come from families who are really close together. my ob recommends i wait 6-9 months, then we will start trying.

MrsMoher · March 2011

Considering it took us 2 years to get the 2nd one, we just aren't sure. I really would like a 3rd, but given that this ones a girl and we already have a boy, this mihgt be our last. We'll cross that bridge in about a year though and decide once and for all.

myst33 · March 2011

I'm not sure. We'd love 2, but we're getting up there in age. I am 35 and dh is 39. I've also had a very difficult pg. I know that I will absolutely not attempt to get pg again without having surgery to get my fibroids removed. There's also a chance that the surgery could leave me with fertility problems.

gullterre · March 2011

We will wait until LO is 2 to start trying again!

sweetpea2718 · March 2011

DH is getting his master's degree and has 2 more years left. I said no more babies until he graduates (May '13) DH took this as no "outside babies" until he graduates and so thinks we'll start trying again late summer/ Fall '12. I'm not so sure, I'd like to save up my sick leave again!

misskris927 · March 2011

We'll definitely be trying for a second child, but probably not until LO is at least a year/year and half.

on_the_move · March 2011

We want 4 total so yes, but we are going to wait a little bit for these first two to get a little older. We are probably going to wait about 4 or 5 years before the next one. We started trying with this LO when DS was 15 months because that is when we were going on a cruise and I didn't want to be pregnant on it.

kwitt22 · March 2011

we def want more. i kinda three or four years between the first two. i would like to buy a house and have more in savings before number two.

bre87 · March 2011

i wont even entertain the thought of another kid yet. at my 20something week appt i was already asking about birth control. people keep saying how selfish only children are but i wouldnt mind just having Addison. my pregnancy and labor were totally normal but its not up for discussion for about 5 years for me.

at least thats how i feel right now
