When do you plan to get K/U?

LaBellaVida · September 2013

I am looking at pictures of my kids when they were born, and am thinking to myself how much I enjoyed being pregnant, (even though I have had complications) and how great it is having a new baby, and the milestones to look forward to, and just how great kids are in general. I never thought I would even consider having a toddler and a new baby at the same time, but I am highly considering it. I know I am not done having kids, I don't feel "complete" yet. I am thinking in a year or so- trying to get pregnant again.

Maybe I am just crazy!? Owen is so good, and my other kids were so good. It makes it easy to want to have more of them!

Who else isn't done having kids?

When do you plan on getting pregnant again, or are you just going to let it happen naturally w/out planning?

How many kids, ideally would you like to have?

ETA: For the mom's who are done having kids; is it a feeling of having your family be complete?

ASmallWonder · September 2013

Oh let's see...I'm thinking about 6 months from never :-p

LiLi23 · September 2013

Lol @elmoali

We'll probably try for one more, but I'm going to hold off until R is closer to two. M is 23 months older than her brother and this stage is just really hard on me. I know it'll get easier down the road, though.

KellenHi21 · September 2013

We are leaning toward three and ds is our first... I'm thinking we'll start trying for our second when ds is a year/year and a half-ish?

kacelle · September 2013

We're not done having kids (I don't think), but I'm not sure when we'll TTC again. We just kind of let things happen after DD #1. Second pregnancy was a miscarriage (she was 10 months old) and DD #2 was born right after her second birthday. We're starting the international adoption process though, so more biological kids is off the table for probably at least a couple of years.

riansmommie · September 2013

This was #2 for us and we def aren't done. We want between 2-4 more, just depends on life. We aren't doing any kind of contraceptive so there is a big possibility that #3 could be baking as soon as Oct./Nov. of this year (kinda need the hubby home from deployment though in order for that to happen).

HeartLikeMine3 · September 2013

I also do not plan on trying anytime soon this mom business is wonderful but at this stage of exhaustion I can't even think about baby number 2. I think about 3 years between is good for me !

amberdt03 · September 2013

We'd like at least one more. We decided to talk around when J turns 2.

ilovemarfa · September 2013

Never again!!! Two and through.

dmlk413 · September 2013

Probably never! I think we're one and done.

phishgirl29 · September 2013

We want 2 and plan to transfer our last two embryos next July. That being said if we end up with twins that stick, we'll take 3

. I'm 32 and don't want to push the 35 year old age limit in case the transfer doesn't work and we need to complete a fresh IVF cycle. We were very lucky the first time around.

JinglesChic · September 2013

I'm trying to convince DH that a third child is necessary.

SJ7108 · September 2013

We plan to start trying for number 2 next September.

KateNP2013 · September 2013

DD is our first and we are not done. I am an only child and my husband's nieces and nephew live in Argentina. We would like to give her at least one sibling since she will not have any cousins nearby.

WasNotWas · September 2013

I have 2 boys and I am ready to move on to the next stages in their lives and get babies off the brain. I'm selling and giving away all my maternity clothes and everything Ty is growing out of (quickly) so that if I get tempted I will have to realize how expensive it will be

I'm only 28 so it's hard to say never, but it won't be even a thought for at least 5 years

BC&LM · September 2013

When do you plan on getting pregnant again, or are you just going to let it happen naturally w/out planning?

We will probably start trying again when LO is about 4 so that by the time
I get pregnant, LO will be about to start kindergarten. It's just too expensive to have two in daycare full-time, but one in daycare and one in before/after care is manageable.

How many kids, ideally would you like to have?
2

FunkyPhoenix · September 2013

I would love to have one more but honestly don't feel like I could go through it again. I had a lot of complications during my pregnancy and then was blessed with a beautiful colicky baby boy. Maybe the wound is too fresh to answer this question now ;-)

JessicaKS · September 2013

Probably Spring/summer 2015 we'd start trying again with an aim of a spring/summer 2016 baby. It's better for my work schedule and maternity leave (I am a school counselor) to have spring/summer babies.

Then again, this is just what I think...my husband and I have not discussed when we would another kid whatsoever. We want two kids only though Id consider a third if I could be a SAHM. I couldn't handle 3 kids and working full time!

+1. I'm with you. Relief is the right word for how I felt after we had Ty. I'm so happy to start the next part of our lives

amie444 · September 2013

One and done here. I am 42 and I will be 60 when she graduates high school. We are happy with our little oopsie baby.

KEK1025 · September 2013

We are most likely done as this LO was #2. Before she was here we were between and 2 and 3 but now we both just feel really good about our family the way it is. Financially, two allows us to provide for our kids to fullest without many sacrifices while still saving for us down the road. Three would be doable but require some lifestyle changes that I don't think we are want to make. Im on an IUD so we didn't make any permanent decisions but we are happy where we are. To those considering a second I will say I love the age gap between our two kids 2 years 8 months.

mamainVA2013 · September 2013

DD is our first and we definitely want at least one more. I'd love to try for number 2 next summer, but we will most likely wait until the following year. We want to save up for a bigger house and I'd like to make a career change.

We would love to have three children (or more if we could afford it) but will just have to see how things go with two. I know DH really hopes we have a son one day because he is the last male in his family to pass down the last name from his grandparents (fairly common name otherwise, but his dad passed away when he was young and all his cousins are female). I think if we have another girl we would most likely keep going :P although, to be clear, he is thrilled to have a little girl and would in no way be disappointed to have another

kel71883 · September 2013

DD is our first and we definitely want more. At least 2, but possibly 3. We're thinking we will start trying for another when DD is a year or so. But I also want to look into adopting a LO, so we have that to think about too

Loriimagination · September 2013

LO was our first and I definitely want at least one more. It's funny, the whole time I was pregnant I was unsure about having more and DH seemed very sure. Now we're the opposite. I know he'll come around. I miss being pregnant so much. I couldn't imagine not experiencing it again. I don't want to try until sometime in 2015.

steph_pegasus · September 2013

We aren't finished having kids yet, but I think the next time will be too soon for me, and not soon enough for DH. We're using contraceptives for the time being, but we haven't discussed when we will try to have another one. I'd like to wait until LO is at least 18 mo to get pregnant again. Hopefully I'll have forgotten how the c section and recovery felt ;-) At least one more, possibly two more depending on how life goes for us.

rzurbr · September 2013

Not anytime soon that's for sure. Newborns are hard work and while I'm already missing the sweet snuggle time that E and I used to share, I don't mind waiting 2-3 more years before trying for probably just one more.

We'll see how we feel as time continues on but right now I'm more than busy with E and not looking to add another to the mix anytime soon.

melissa0726 · September 2013

DD1 just turned two last week, and DD2 is 2.5 months now.

I'm very serious about prevention right now. I'm not looking to have another anytime soon, if ever, although I know DH wants at least one more.

If we have more kids, it certainly would not be until DD2 is potty trained and more self sufficient than DD1 is right now. I'm doing ok so far, but a third as close as these two are in age might put me in the nut house.

pinkmickey24 · September 2013

I am ready to TTC for number 3 now, but DH not so much. We agreed that when the boys turn a year we will start talking about it, however, I still talk about it all the time. When we try again it will be around the same time as last because the timing worked out so perfectly with work. Also, I want to start sooner rather than later because it took us 3 rounds of IVF over the course of a year to have success. I won't deny that I am scared out of my mind that we will repeat the first two rounds, but fingers crossed the same protocol that brought us the boys will work again.

PinkPuffyHeart2 · September 2013

in 2-5 yrs... this is our first. We want 2. We would be ok with a 3rd oopsie.

Monkeybutt80 · September 2013

I want to be one and done while my dh wants one more. Either way, we agreed to revisit it when our lo turns 1.

vickivt327 · September 2013

I am done - I had my tubes tied this time. There are many reasons for this - my husband and I have only ever wanted 2, we can only comfortably afford 2, I hate being pregnant, and I hate the newborn period. I am so happy to be done

jgiraldo1120 · September 2013

I would atleast like 2, but DH is set on only wanting 1 now. I plan on convincing him later on, but right now the rough nights and scary delivery (she was preemie) have him freaked out about another. I plan on waiting until LO is atleast 18 mos before trying again.

kmkaull2 · September 2013

My head says that we're done and are ready to move on to the next phase of just enjoying our family. My heart would love one more. But we're old, have fertility issues, and I had a dramatic pregnancy. We'd consider adopting again, but that is getting so hard, especially if you already have children.

Ditto. But, to each her own!

MissDei · September 2013

Who else isn't done having kids? I'm unsure. Things have to be negotiated in my marriage for another, honestly.

When do you plan on getting pregnant again, or are you just going to let it happen naturally w/out planning? Ummm, im on bc. Def not letting it happen naturally. If there is another, DS will have to be at least 3-4. I also need to start and finish my masters.

How many kids, ideally would you like to have? At the most? 2.

eschario · September 2013

We are going to start TTC soon, maybe around the new year. This baby is our first and we want one more. We figure this stage is so hard we might as well just keep going with it. I know it'll be really hard for about 2 years, but we want the kiddos close in age and figure it'll be great for them to be so close growing up together. I would like to be done by 35 yrs old and I'm turning 34 in Nov.

buggybear87 · September 2013

We're done now with our 2 daughters. They are 25.5 months apart and I love the age difference. And yes, I feel our family is complete, which I totally didn't feel after DD1 was born.

MrsAery-to-be · September 2013

This LO was #2 for us. DS1 was 2.5 when DS2 was born. We know we want at least 1 more, maybe 2 depending on how things go. We love the age difference we have now but are thinking of a smaller gap this time. We are seriously considering stopping BC before our anniversary trip in April and seeing if we end up with a "gift." If we have a girl next time, we may be done. If we have another boy there is a slightly greater chance we will try for a 4th as long as we can manage financially. Of course we would be thrilled with 3 (or 4) boys!

This is me. My whole csection is an ongoing nightmare, and it's been almost three months. I'm going to enjoy the one I've got because I don't think I can do that again.

GraceInCA · September 2013

Now that we have 2, I feel done. My husband claims he is done, but I can read between the lines of things he says and I have a feeling in 3 or 4 years he will be thinking of another.

megandchase · September 2013

We will start trying again when Hudson is a year and a half so next Xmas time. I would like 4, dh thinks 2 is enough so we will compromise at 3 unless they are all boys we will try once more for a girl
