What number LO are you TTC? In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? Do you and SO agree on your number?

We are TTC #3. We have two girls now and DH says if #3 is a girl, he's out but I'm hoping for four kids.

  • I always say I'll reevaluate after our first. Lol. I'm just not sure. In a perfect world though with lots of money and a big enough house I'd love 5. Realistically I'm thinking 2, maybe 3. Husband comes from 10 and he'd love just as many. I told him he better find someone else to reach that dream. Lol. He is on board with a small amount though.

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? I always wanted 4, and if money was no object and I was able to stay home I would still want that.
    Do you and SO agree on your number? We agree on 2. I'm a little sad to let go of my vision of a big family, but I am content with 2
  • What number LO are you TTC? #3

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? 6

    Do you and SO agree on your number? He wants even more... We will be reevaluating after each child though.

  • What number LO are you TTC? 1 In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? 2 or 3 Do you and SO agree on your number? Yes we do. We're going for 2 and then will see where we all land and if it's doable we'll go for a third.
  • 2

    2, maybe 3. Depends if #2 is as complicated a pregnancy/birth as the first. I don't know if I can willingly put myself and my family through that a third time.

    We are TTC our first together. We agree on just one(@ least for now).

    In a perfect world, my 3 step children would be bio babies and we would still have just 1 more. FI has been on board all along. He is just as anxious as me, and just as disappointed with each BFN.
  • Ideally, I would love 4 each spaced 3-4 years apart. DH and I are both on board for at least 3 but have agreed to reevaluate after each baby to see where we stand.

    That all being said, if we have 3 boys (DH was one of 3 boys, his dad was one of one of 2 boys, grandfather was one of 4 boys so the Y swimmers appear to be quite healthy with the men in his family) I might call it quits, I don't think I could handle it if we ended up with a 4th. Too much testosterone in the house, so we'll see...
  • We are TTC #3. We have 2 boys already. We both agree on 4 kids. I am the oldest of four and he is the 2nd youngest of 6. We want a big family.
  • What number LO are you TTC? 
    We are trying for number 1 :) 

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? 
    2 or 3 

    Do you and SO agree on your number?
    DH says he wants 4, but sometimes I think he's joking. He says if we have one of each (a boy & a girl) at 2, he's fine with stopping there. If not, we'll likely try for a 3rd, then stop.

  • We're trying for number 2. We've got a son, and I'd really like a girl. If we have another boy, I'll be happy with that too. Either way, we're stopping at two. I'd love to have a third, but financially it's just not possible.

    Do you and SO agree on your number? No... he wants only 1. I can live with 1, but I've just always pluralized the word when taking about kids.

  • What number LO are you TTC?
    Our first

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like?
    Two if we can have them close together otherwise we will stick with one

    Do you and SO agree on your number? Yes it started as only wanting 1 for a small intimate family but then said if we can get lucky and have them close together we'd want the second.
  • What number LO are you TTC? Trying for #3

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? Where I have all the money and a big house and yard I'd love 7 or maybe more. I feel like I know when I'm done.

    Do you and SO agree on your number? Right now we're saying 5. We reevaluate after each baby is one. Making sure that finances allow for another baby, and that we're ready for the next one within the next 9 months in case things happen quickly.

  • What number LO are you TTC? 1

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? Realistically: 3-4, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have a bigger family (my dad was 1 of 8, so I've always been surrounded by a lot of family)... I just don't think that we could handle it, financially or mentally!

    Do you and SO agree on your number? Yes! We have agreed that if we have 3 that are all the same sex, we will try for a 4th, but other than that, we're calling it quits at 3.

  • TTC #1... In a perfect world I want 3 all very close together. Hubby agrees we want them close but only wants 2.

    Since in a perfect world my kids will sleep through the night and never be sick and pregnancy will be easy, my kids will be like 15 months apart.

    Hey @laurenm2123 you might get lucky! My first baby and pregnancy was a breeze. I worked until I was two day PAST my due date. My labor was only six hours and DD slept through the night at five weeks and slept twelve hours a day and took two naps. I thought all these other moms were exaggerating about the exhaustion of having a baby. 

    Then I had my second lol.She didn't sleep through the night for 9 months. Her pregnancy and delivery and postpartum were much more rough but my point is sometimes you DO get an easy baby! And they're awesome!


  • What number LO are you TTC? 
    Our first

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? 
    Perfect world, dare I dream, four, but in this world 2 (or 1).

    Do you and SO agree on your number?
    We do now.  When we got married in our early 20s I wanted two and he wanted four.  I have one sibling and he has two.  He said I could get my tubes tied if I wanted at 2 kids and he would get snipped after four.  Now that we are in our thirties,  not living in the same city as our parents and family, and infant care in DC is up to 2k a month two will be all we can do.  I'm starting to think one and done.
  • Trying for my first. In a perfect world, I'd like 2 kids, maybe 3 at the most. H wants 3 but he's willing to reevaluate after each kid.

  • Ideally I want at least 3, if I have all girls or all boys I will want to try for a 4th. DH wants 6 currently before that it was 1 haha clearly he is not sure (yet anyway!).

  • We are TTC #2 for me (#1 for DH). I really want to have two more, but I think DH is pretty set on just one more. He's very much a planner and worries about the financial aspect of having two more. I'm a little older so the two would have to be close in age, and two in daycare is $$$, I can't argue with him there. But I'm just like, I want more babies!

  • @cm716 my first was very difficult baby. He didn't STTN until 11 months and nursed constantly until he was 5 months old. My second was a breeze! If I could guarantee that all my pregnancies, labor/deliveries, and babies would be like that I'm not sure I would ever be done.

    Once my older son could crawl life got easier because he would wear himself out and sleep.

  • We are TtC #2.

    Ideally, I'd like a big family, at least 5-6. We disagree on this; it was very hard to convince my husband to try for a second. I *might* be able to convince him to try once more after. But I doubt it.

  • Trying for #1

    Ideally I would love 4! I'm one of two but I've always lived very close to big extended family (my cousin were like my siblings since we all went to the same schools and spent after school time together) so I would love to create a big family like that.

    DH says I'm nuts. He comes from the opposite, tiny extended family. No cousins or anything. Just one brother he's not close to at all. He says two only. His worry is logistics of caring individually for 4 and financial worries. I agree that in today's world finances dictate a lot of how we live our lives and decisions with make. I think we will probably end up with 2.

  • What number LO are you TTC? My husband has a daughter but are TTC #1 together

    In a perfect world, how many kids would you like? In a perfect world a boy and a girl (2), if we had two girls I would be done, if we had 2 boys I would love to adopt a girl.  I work around little girls every day (coaching gymnastics) and I really feel the need to have a daughter.  If we can't have a bio daughter I would love to adopt.   

    Do you and SO agree on your number? He's on board although I know he would be fine with just having one.

  • This will be our first. We have both decided at least two kids would be great! I would love three but we will see about that, he comes from a family of two kids and I come from a family of three kids so that could have something to do with it.. ;). Right now I am just trying to think about the first though.

    I am TTC#3. I probably would like 4 if I had my way, but H doesn't want more than three. I'm not so secretly hoping its twins the next time around just so I can get my way lol. I'm kidding (sort of), but I am a twin offspring of a twin-- so technically higher chances. :-??

  • We are TTC #2. Two would be perfect for us. DH and I do agree on that. I would have wanted a smaller gap in between the LOs, but such is life. A sibling is a sibling.
