Any more in your future....?

hopefulinCO · October 2011

So, I know it's very soon for those of us with outside babies, and very, very soon for those mommas still waiting to deliver.....but,

are you planning on having any more after this one? If so, how long will you wait?

We want at least 2, maybe 3 -- but I won't do this again for at least a couple of years. Then I'll wonder how the heck to handle it all having one already!
Props to you moms of 2+ - I only have one and feel overwhelmed!!

We'll start trying after C turns one. However, I fully intend to hire help for these difficult initial weeks/months when I will also have a toddler running around.

Ditto everything you said. Smile

cantalopes24 · October 2011

We will wait at least 18 months before trying again. I'm getting Paragaurd put in next week.

CA2006 · October 2011

Nope...we are 2 and through. It's bittersweet. Even though I had a healthy pregnancy, it was harder this time around. I also don't want more than 2 kids. But it's hard to think of each milestone as "the last time we will experience..." (i.e. labor and delivery, maternity clothes (already in PP clothes), that moment right after birth when DH announces the sex (team green both times) etc.

wendyll64 · October 2011

we don't know yet... we're tentatively thinking around one year

mattandbekah · October 2011

This is probably our last. I want more children, but Im not sure I should do another pregnancy. I want to though, and we are both open to the idea of adoption.

jonnygurl76 · October 2011

we aren't 100% sure but we are both thinking we are '2 and through'...i have my hands full with 2 LO's and don't know that i could handle a 3rd even though i wanted 3. we will see how we feel in a few months.

lindylogana · October 2011

We want another but we are going to wait until this LO turns at least 2/ 2.5 before TTC. LO was a surprise and I've been pregnant basically for the last 2 out of 3 years, I'm ready for a pregnancy break.

UofMWolverines · October 2011

It's hard to believe that I'm even still entertaining this idea right now... but we intend to try for Baby #2 starting one year from now. We're not spring chickens, though. I'll be 35 at that point and DH will be 43.

knockedupOC · October 2011

Nope. One and done. I have no desire to do this again.

blu-eyedwife · October 2011

We want two more, but not anytime soon. Probably will start thinking/working on number 2 sometime in 2013.

lynnblack · October 2011

We want another LO. We will start trying in a few months but then I am already 35 so time is ticking and it took us almost 2 years to have S.

HappyAardvark · October 2011

We will probably go for #2 but not for a few years. At least when this one is out of diapers and closer to being in school.

mairo · October 2011

This is baby #4 and a surprise. I am done being pregnant!!!. It can be overwheming but once they are older the urge to give them a sibbling comes in.

StephRuns · October 2011

We want one more, about 2 years apart.

That was my thinking after DD#1, I needed clomid to conceive her. Nope, I got pg on the first cycle each time after. So don't be shocked if it happens quickly for you!

melimelg · October 2011

I would love to have a boy, but it has been a long hard road to get here. I don't think physically/mentally/emotionally I could handle another pregnancy. And then there is the cost of 3 in daycare to consider.

We are planning the same minus hiring help (actually maybe). We are going to start trying once Levi turns one. I have always wanted a house full but the hubby only wants 3-4 Kids. Since we are now at 2, I see one more in our future.

Soon2BMrsN · October 2011

We are done! Reality hasn't even really set in for me yet... I have yet to be alone with the 2 of them. Starting Monday, I know I'll be really stressed!

kagl04 · October 2011

We are 2 and through! Originally wanted 3 but we have all we can handle with 2. Plus I really forgot how much I HATE the sleepless nights! Also, my son had a rough start when he was born and ended up in the NICU quite unexpectedly. It was hard juggling the NICU and my 14 month old. I know I wouldn't be able to deal with that with 2 at home... My DD came at 37w and my DS came at 35w. I wonder how early a 3rd would come and honestly I feel it's irresponsible of us to find out or even entertain the idea of a 3rd. We are more than happy with our 2 and it feels pretty darn complete with our family of 4!

peelester429 · October 2011

I want 3!! DH always said, "Let's just start with one and go from there" but he is SO in love that he says he's ready to do it again ASAP! Easy for him to say!! I imagine we'll start trying for #2 sooner than we originally anticipated...

pennysuedog · October 2011

We are done with number three Sad

aandg · October 2011

We are completly done. I had a tubal ligation during my c section.

FrauElyse · October 2011

We want to 2 more, but we'll probably wait 2 or 3 years for the next one.

e_delo · October 2011

I always wanted 5 and I got started early (at 21) but I ended up divorced when DD was 18 months. I guess I never gave up the idea of having 5. Dh and I were married only 3 months before we got pregnant with Luke but I'm ready to have another one. I get so upset when the dr. asks what I plan on doing for bc, because honestly I don't want to do anything. With that said, I know DH wants at least 2 kids of his own, so we'll be having at least 1 more but I guess the responsible thing to do is wait...I just really don't want to (ok thats my fffc too!)

Liz4444 · October 2011

DH wants as many as possible, I told him he gets 2 viable pregnacies out of me and if he wants more he can figure out how to have them himself or get a different wife! Ideally, we would like a 2 year age difference, so we'll start trying again in a year.

babes12 · October 2011

i think we're done. We had to do IUI to get this LO so financially, emotionally, physically i wouldn't be ready to deal w/ that again for another 3yrs and by then i think i'll be too old (for me) to do this again. I'm very happy and content w/ our family the way it is.

Popple123 · October 2011

Yes, we are going to try for #3 once this baby is 4-6 months old. After completing a pregnancy with a 2-2.5 yr I decided I would rather be pregnant while this child is less mobile! LOL.

RoxRing · November 2011

Always thought I'd want two, but I think I'm good with this one.

scarlettoctober · November 2011

I have days where I swear we're one and done, and then other days I'd love at least one more. I had pre-e and thrombocytopenia, which totally screwed up my L&D and I had a hard time accepting that, plus we've got latching issues for breastfeeding. Things are starting to come around and aren't so stressful, so I haven't completely ruled out more kids.
