Anyone going for child #3 after this?

jeffrae · May 2011

DH and I have agreed to not discuss #3 until he turns 35 (a year from now). I can't help be keep thinking about it! I hated being pregnant - lots of issues this time around....but the idea of three kids has always been my dream. I say idea as I am sure one year with two will put more reality into our decision. Just curious if anyone else is contemplating another. Seems the norm these days is two.

I grew up with 2 siblings & I for certain want one more! I won't be having my next any time soon though.

h2ojock13 · May 2011

This is my first (DH's 2nd) but I fully intend on having 2 more after this little guy is born.

Hell to the NO.

Omg, I can't even IMAGINE being pregnant again. That being said - I think I'd like to foster-adopt a 3rd. I"ve always wanted 3, but don't feel the need to make him or her myself!!

Hell no. If we were to have a third, it wouldn't be for years but I'm pretty sure we'll be done with two.

BabyBebe1 · May 2011

I'm 90% sure I am done. 2 tough pregnancies, 2 completely unrelated NICU stays, and I swear I'm quitting. But I too kind of want a third. I may be certifiably crazy if I do it.

We're done. I'm 32 and by the time I'd be ready for another, I'd be pushing 35. We kind of knew we'd stop at 2 no matter what.

I don't feel done yet. I might change my mind after this one gets here though Smile

hellls no! The baby shop is closed. I have a tubal scheduled during my C-section. I have no interest in being pregnant again, and I am not sure I could afford a 3rd. Not to mention that I am 35 and my dh will be 41 this year.

meghanchrisaz · May 2011

We are on #3. We will discuss a 4th next year, if we decide no, snip snip for the husband

DH really wants a son, so he's pushing for #3. I told him I'd do it on 2 conditions: that we get a bigger car and that my mom live with us (we don't have family in the area).

pam1005 · May 2011

Yup, but we are going to try to prevent another for two years (like this pregnancy). DH will be 35 and I will be 32. I like the idea of having the kids two years apart, but who knows what will happen.

KhloesMom · May 2011

Not unless we win the lottery. It would be a really bad decision for us financially to have a third, plus the actual pregnancy this time was less than a walk in the park. I'm 99.9% sure we are done.

stargzr77 · May 2011

We are done after this. I told DH to start asking around for a good urologist. I loved being pregnant with my dd, but this time has been a totally different experience. I can't wait to meet my little man, but I never want to have to go through what I did with this pregnancy again.

fluffybuns · May 2011

For sure!

We will be waiting until DD #1 is in kindergarten because of the cost to have two in daycare. So, we'll have a few years between #2 and #3, but may want a 4th.

ToBeMrsC6907 · May 2011

We're pretty certain we'd like 3, but we're taking them one at at time.

If we do, we'll space it out a little further this time though to avoid 3 in daycare- oy.

Mrs.Saxy · May 2011

nope, got tubes tied

2 was DH's max. I don't think I can endure pregnancy again. It was worse this time and I don't want an infant when DS1 is 5-6 and will be playing ball and doing things with friends.

rickandcaitlin · May 2011

We always planned on 3 and just had our third and I got my tubes tied

we wanted 2 in 2 years and then one after a little later in life. So we have a 5yo 7yo and a new born

alliejoe · May 2011

We may well be done after this first one. I never thought I'd say that- but I just didn't enjoy being pregnant. We always said we'd have 2 of our own and then adopt one or two more.... I think we may opt to adopt after this one and not have any more biological.

Of course it could all change after he's here.

NicciH · May 2011

DH and I are already talking about #3. We said we would wait till Christmas to talk about it, but the topic has come up already. I always wanted 4 kids, he wanted 3, so I think we are going to end up having 3. I can't believe I am about to pop with DS#2 and we are already "planning" when to have another LO.

kcnurse77 · May 2011

I am on baby #3. This will be my 3rd baby in 3 years (3 year old, 1.5 year old and soon to be newborn). I could have sworn I would have been done after 2 but after I had my 2nd I had a strong urge to possibly have a third. My husband and I decided to try for 6 months, if it happened - great, if not - no big deal. It happened!

I am getting my tubes tied after this one. I had concerns about finances and adding a 3rd child but one of my good friends with 3 children advised me to make the decision based on your heart.....I totally agree. Sure, it comes with some sacrifices but we love our growing family.

JessicaG56 · May 2011

This was my third...after I had Grady I immediately was thinking when is the next one? But when we had her and now she is home I do not have that feeling at all..I feel complete. Dh wants to get fixed but I am not ready for that permanent fix..yet. I don't know mentally if I can handle another and each pregnancy got a bit harder so ya..think we are done

and blessed!

EJensify · May 2011

I want a third of my own (DH already has 2...this LO made us a family of 6) but we won't start thinking about actually going for it for a few years.

JMU_Bride09 · May 2011

This baby is #1 for DH and I, but we want a big family. Idealy, I would love five children, but my husband is voting for four. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, but, God willing, I doubt we'll stop at two.

UndecidedChange · May 2011

Dude, I can't even muster up energy to think about a possibility to even start considering about a number #2.

nikintheheart · May 2011

i think i'd prefer to be one and done, (i've hated being pregnant) but FI wants two (i think he just wants one more try for a boy...) i'm not saying 'no, definitely not' right now, but i'm not even up for discussing it until LO is 3-4 years old.

Butterflylove85 · May 2011

DH and I decided on 3 when we were still dating. DD1 was planned but DD2 was a suprise, we were planning to space them out a bit more. #3 will be a minimum of 3 years from now. We're just going with the flow and we'll see how things work out in the next couple of years.
