I would like one more (we have a 4-year-old DS). DH and I have had some setbacks in our careers, so we're trying to gain our footing again before we plan for another.

I'm pregnant with our 3rd and we are torn between 3 or 4. At the moment, I'm leaning more towards 3.

I always said that I would like 4 kids. I just had #3 less then 2 weeks ago and I am thinking that I may feel complete. I'm not sure if I'm ready to officially make that decision but DH feels without a doubt that we are done done done lol
It's so hard financially and space wise we def could not fit another child. We just had to do renovations to fit #3.

0. Chat Icon succumbed to pressure and had 1. Wanted him to have a sibling so I wanted 2 but that was it. But now I'm having an oops and 3 is on its way Chat Icon

2 but my body and age are not on board so it will most likely be just my DS

We're having 3. I would consider going for 4 but DH is good with 3. Only problem is figuring out a decent form of birth control. None of them appeal to me at all and the ones I've used in the past are not 100%.

How many children do you want?

When we first got married, we were on the fence about having children....but then a few years in we decided to give it a whirl. We have 1 DS and I am PG now with #2. Part of me would like a third, but my age is definitely ruling that out. I am thrilled that we are having a second child. They will be 5.5 years apart.

How many children do you want?

We currently have one, and I would love to have 3-4. I'm still young enough for that to work, it will primarily depend on how the 3rd eventually goes.

Room will be tight for a bit with a 3rd, but we plan to dormer in 4-5 years, so it wouldn't be tight for all that long, especially since it would be at least 2-3 years before we had a 3rd.

we have one now... he's 5. we adopted him, due to a chromosomal abnormality that i have, that makes even IVF impossible. he's pretty much the only kid on both sides of the family (no cousins) so i REALLY REALLY want him to have a sibling- another kid in the family to grow up with. DH is an only child and is starting to feel like he missed out on having a sibling, too--- SO we're getting ready to start the process to adopt a 2 year old little boy on our agencies "waiting" list Chat Icon i'm excited to have 2 boys/brothers running around Chat Icon and definitely think we'll be done after that!!!

2. I am due in a week and a half with my 2nd, and I know for sure we are done. We thought about 3 while TTC this one, but I just feel done. Financially, space wise, and sanity wise, I know this is right for our family.

I'd like 2, but I'm not sure if that's in the cards for us.



This exactly- we have fertility issues so we're happy to have one. As much as I'd like two it's looking like it might not be in the cards for us either.

I always wanted 2. We have one and it took us 2 years and many fertility procedures to have him. We will try for a second at some point but I'm not sure if it will happen. I'm getting older and fertility procedures have taken a toll on me. If I was fertile and younger I would be open to having 3.

One and done



Ditto... The only way I would entertain the idea of a 2nd would be if we moved down south and were saving a boatload of money... Can't afford LI and tbh, I feel bad even having 1 child who may have to grow up with these redic prices.



This EXACT thing!

How many children do you want?

When DH and I were dating and it got serious we had the family talk. I wanted and still want a large family. I said I wanted 5 and we compromised at 3. We have 2 and are going to start TTC #3 in the next few weeks. I am already sad that this will be my last pregnancy. If we could afford it, I know DH would be more than happy to have more then 3.
It sucks and is unfair. If I could, I would leave LI. Unfortunately, because of DHs job we have to stay put at least for now.

Re: How many children do you want?

We have 2 we may go for a third. We're on the fence about going for number 3. Some days I'm all for it and other days I think we're nuts.

We wanted 4 but after twins carefully considered a third. I got such a happy surprise when I got pregnant with DS. Now that I have 3 I couldn't imagine 4 Chat Icon But I do get baby fever every time I hold my niece Chat Icon

Re: How many children do you want?

I originally wanted 6... Pre marriage and early 20s then my niece was born. Although she was great baby I was like wtf this is hard work. Lol

Then after marriage we decided We wanted none. I was happy being a devoted aunty. God had other plans and we adopted my son. I'm one and done! People have their two sense and comments but I'm happy with my blessing. Plus I have a stepson.
