Do you want more children?

gallegowedding · May 2013

Growing up I always felt that I would have as many babies as God blessed me with. I'm not the Duggars or anything but I always figured I'd end up with at least 3 or 4 kids. I'm 36 and this is my fourth pregnancy but we are hoping its a third child. Because of our previous loss this pregnancy has been particularly stressful. I've been freaking out about every little thing and the stress has been too much for me. God willing, this baby will make it to term, and if it does, this will be our last. Is this the last one for any of you?

I am still very early in my PG. If the PG is complication free, then we will likely be seeking to have one more baby. We used DE and have 6 frozen embryos. We will not be paying another donor if those 6 embryos do not give us that one additional child we would like.

This is my first pregnancy and I have twins on board. When we decided to do IVF, we made the personal commitment that any embryos that were frozen would be implanted - either in me or we may consider DE. We have three that were frozen. I hope to implant all three in me(probably not all at once since we only implanted two this time!), but I wonder how my body will do since I'm already going to be 40 next week. We wanted a big family - it just took a long time to get started.

I am very early too, 6 weeks. But if this baby makes it. this is it for us. I have a two year old little girl, so two is enough.

This is my second pregnancy and first child, although we lost the twin to this one very early on. Basically I have been feeling the same way you have in that if we finally are able to get a child to term and they are healthy (which all tests seem to indicate), I will be grateful and this will more than likely be our only. I have no desire to do any more fertility treatments and I am 37 (38 in September) so obviously I do not have time on my side.

We're done. 2 kids is enough for us. Maybe if I was younger a 3rd might have happened, who knows? But really, I'm looking forward to the next stage of watching the kids grow up and never dealing with TTC and pregnancy again.

This is definitely the last for me. I am 38 years old and this one was unexpected. Still trying to get out of the denial stage.

I am also extremely early in my pregnancy (5weeks) and am trying not to worry too much during this pregnancy. This will be our 3rd child. However, my husband wants ONE MORE! I actually thought I would never have any more kids after my first was born 16 years ago (I was 20yrs old and asked my OB to tie my tubes after his birth which he declined). I just had my second child 6 years ago. And now we are expecting a 3rd. He wants to try for the fourth as soon as the doctor clears me after this one! I think if my husband could keep my barefoot and pregnant he would! Do I want more kids? I would love more but I worry about each of my kids not getting enough of my time. So I guess I am still on the fence about having a fourth.

This is our third child and we are definitely done! This one was a bonus

I'll be having my tubes tied at my c-section.

I am 40 years old and this is my sixth pregnancy but it will be my first success. I will be grateful for one, I can't imagine going through this again. When I was younger I imagined having two, but I think this is it for me.

Fitnessteach2010 · June 2013

I'm 37 and this is my first child. God willing, we would love to have 2 but it's ok if we have 1.

miracleat47 · June 2013

I am 47 and will be close to 48 by the time I deliver. This is my first pregnancy and feel very blessed. Don't say never, it could happen again for you, but it's not for everyone. I am 33 weeks Monday and I have had a very easy pregnancy. My recommendation to all is to not stress. Good luck to all of you.

jkzinck · June 2013

This is my third pregnancy and second child. I always wanted a big family but did not find the person I wanted a family with until I was 36. I will be 40 when this one comes and we will stop at two. I am a little sad but I feel I am very lucky to have a wonderful 16 month old girl and a little boy on the way. I look forward to watching them grow up together. :

This is my first pregnancy, I'm hoping for one more!

Wendy Gipson · June 2013

This is my 4th pregnancy but would be our 3rd child. My first pregnancy resulted in a loss. Then I had 2 successful pregnancies with 2 little girls. This time it is still early and I have been very nervous. This will be our last and I will be 37 in July!

Reilly626 · June 2013

If I had met and married my husband at 30 I would have loved 3. Since I did not we are blessed with boy girl twins and we couldn't I,alone more, they fulfill us. Plus pregnancy and birth and the first 3 months were too hard to repeat!

danuli8 · June 2013

I just had my first and last child at 42. If I had started sooner I probably would have had a second, but this is it for me and I am okay with that.

GracieBlue · June 2013

I always thought I wanted three or possibly four children, but from the moment I got my bfp I "knew" I my family would be complete with two children. I will be 38 when I deliver this baby, so assuming everything goes well, I am done!

mrsjones06 · June 2013

I'll be 36 when this baby (my 3rd) is delivered. I've always said I was definitely up for 3 & maybe open to 4 but pretty quickly after finding out I was pg this time I started feeling like I may want this to be my last. If I hadn't had c/s with each one maybe I'd be more open to it...I get nervous about the surgery & my other children being left without me, even though I know it will likely be fine. It's also a lot harder being tired & feeling crummy this time...I'm sure it's a combination of the fact that I'm older & taking care of a 1 & 4 yr old. I also work full time so I feel maxed out. Can't say no for sure yet...will see how I feel down the road.

MT-Head · June 2013

I have 2 boys - one born when I was 36 and the other at 39 - and we are two and through. Part of me would have loved to have more, but I really want to be able to provide a good life for any and all children I have, and I want to be able to spend good, quality time with them, so for me, two is the limit.

I am having Essure done in mid July so the baby factory will REALLY be closed, and every once in a while, when I am holding my new baby, I think about how sweet he is and how much fun just one more would be, but I really don't feel up to a third at this age.

kje120 · June 2013

This is our 2nd and last. I think DH would possibly like to go for one more to try for a girl, but I'm pretty sure we're done.

livy625 · June 2013

I'll be 44 soon so I think this will be my last, I have a 12 year old son and never thought I'd have anymore. This is a second marriage and my DH has a 20 year old son. Feeling very blessed with this one-16 w2d and it's a boy!

tampamom1 · June 2013

It was great reading all your posts

i always said i wanted 2. well 2 came pretty quickly...they are 13 months apart. the going was rough for several years but then we settled down..always felt though something was missing from our family. so at 36 we let things ride for the summer and if it was meant to be it would happen, well surprise!! i had my 3rd a year ago at 37 and couldn't be happier..we are now complete..tubes tied and all!

brilis · June 2013

I have always wanted 4 children. I have 3 boys now and am pregnant with twins. I guess I am an overachiever! Lol. We are done having babies after this pregnancy.
