Poll: How many kids do you want?

mrsjenni · June 2013

Happy Saturday! Just thought it'd be fun to do a little poll and see what everyone's plans are for the future.

So, how many kids do you want? What about DH?

BuckeyeANG · June 2013

We want 3 most likely. Though ask me again in January when I have 2u2 and I might have a different response

Cara1024 · June 2013

We have always said we'd love 2 or 3 total. However now I'm thinking the next pregnancy would have to go really really well for me to try for a third though.

mrsjenni · June 2013

DH and I always wanted 3 kids. When I was PG with #3, I casually brought it up to him that I didn't feel like it was my last pregnancy and that I may want 1 more. I thought he would think I was completely crazy but instead he said "I feel the same way."

Since Reid was born, we were going back and forth about a 4th baby and then BOOM. Surprise! So here we are... pregnant with baby #4.

And I definitely feel done now.

KristaBelieve · June 2013

Originally we both wanted three but with everything it took to just get here we will wait and see. We still have two embryos frozen, my RE calls them our little popsicles! We will definitely try again with those but beyond that, I'm not sure.

2. We are done after this one. I hate being pregnant, and it's also hard to plan trips/vacations to fun places when you constantly have a newborn. DS is getting to the age where it's fun to take him to cool places like the zoo and stuff.

2

I will be 36 when this one comes. If it takes us 16-17 months to get pregnant again, that means I will be 38 when the second one comes.

MissMandyD · June 2013

We were thinking 2 but now that identical twins are on the way it might be 3.

JuliaH21 · June 2013

3 has been the plan. Right after DD was born, I said I thought one was a good number, but I was (mostly) joking. Now, if this one is a boy, we'll see. DH is a pastor and so we're moved to different churches periodically and may not always have enough bedrooms for 3 kids to have their own. If this LO is a girl, she and DD can share rooms, but I don't think, as the kids get older, having a boy and girl share rooms will go very well.

2, one in January , one in 2-3 years.

Same.

If this baby is another boy, I might have it in me for a third pregnancy.

If this baby is a girl, we'll probably settle at 2, though.

rowanthefrog · June 2013

This will be our last. It was a pretty strong debate between 2 and 3. DH would have preferred to stop at 2, but I just wasn't done yet. But I know this is it for me and I'm happy with it.

SweetPeaKate · June 2013

I think we both settled on 4-5 when I was pregnant with #1. This pregnancy, number 2, is high risk so we will see how my body handles it to determine how many more we have. I'm hoping we can do at least one or two more.

blue_elle · June 2013

1 or 2. When I was younger I saw myself having 2, but now that I'm a little older than I'd planned for starting, and it's pretty well set that we'll never have huge incomes due to our career choices, one may be a better fit for us. I had multiple siblings, half-siblings, step-siblings, and DH was an only. I've talked to him about his experience a lot, and done a lot of reading, so I'm not concerned about the lonely, spoiled only child bit.

KatelynEA90 · June 2013

I want 3, possibly 4. DH wants 2, possibly 3. We decided to wait to discuss a third until after two is born. I will be slightly heartbroken if we stop at two.

suupercute · June 2013

I would have love 3 kids but due to age and finances, realistically probably 2 and happy with that. This will be my first at 37. Hoping for #2 before 40.

BuckeyeMommy4 · June 2013

We wanted 2 or 3.

We are now having our 4th!

Definitely done after this one.

CassieD · June 2013

3. Assuming all goes well with this pregnancy, and the adoption goes through ok, we will definitely be done.

Saltina11 · June 2013

Mrs. Jenni I think you have the perfect #. I would love 4 as well. I don't know if it will play out for me (this baby is due a week before my 35th birthday), and it took us quiet awhile to get a BFP this time around, but here's hoping!

nic5606 · June 2013

1-2. If this pregnancy works out, we are done. If it does not work out, we are still done.

jldubb0626 · June 2013

Two and done. It took me some time to convince DH after DS was born to try for another. He only wanted one.

thepretzelchick · June 2013

2. DH and I are both getting fixed after this one, since clearly non-permanent forms of BC don't work for us (see: two unplanned pregnancies). We weren't planning on having any children, but after we had one I knew I wanted DS to have a sibling. It wasn't supposed to be until summer 2015 at the soonest, but since it's happening already, we're done after this.

LittleMommaBlueHen · June 2013

Our answer has always been "as many as we are blessed with".

ccip82 · June 2013

Two, maybe three.

I agree. I didn't min my first pregnancy at all; this time around....Oi vey. I'm not feeling nearly good enough to function 100 percent daily. I'm at a 65 percent. I just hope I feel better soon. But, you never know. I don't remember any specifics about my pgncy with DS or about the c section, so I was all about having another one. I'm going with 2 right at this moment. :S

July1215 · June 2013

I think we will be done at 2.

halfthetree · June 2013

I would be ok with 4, 5 would be awesome though

adfee · June 2013

I think we're done at 2 but who knows! If it's another boy, I might try for a girl.

Kismc · June 2013

We are stopping after this one so that will be 2 for us!

ac1259 · June 2013

I think we might be done with 2...but I'm only 25 so I'm a little nervous to do anything permanent so I'll probably try Mirena until I'm sure!

Sam3683 · June 2013

One and DONE!!

tesskerr · June 2013

I always said 2 or 3. This is my first. I have hated being pregnant so so much already, HG and a killer sore back already, I don't know if I could do it again.
Also this one was unplanned, I had originally wanted to wait a couple of years, then have 2 really close together. Now if we do decide to go it again, there will be a gap, maybe 4 or 5 years, which kinda sucks, but we just can't afford it.

FSUNole31 · June 2013

I have always said four because I have three siblings and love it, but we will see how I feel after #2 shows up.

Cewilliams207554 · June 2013

I want three but i think i will stop at two. I love what the process gives me but i hate being pregnant! The last one will most likely be adopted.

Armyratt · June 2013

3 so this is the last one...unless our first ultrasound shows its twins lol but this will be the last pregnancy for us.

jaxxx15 · June 2013

We will have 2 or 3:)

AprlShwrs18 · June 2013

I'm open to 3 DH is happy with 2. If this if a girl it'll be our last.

Kathy4678 · June 2013

Before we knew about our IF issues- I would have said at least two, maybe three. But now we'll just be thankful for this one. If we add to our family it will be through adoption.
