how long did you wait in between 2 and 3 before TTC?
I think if we 100% decide to TTC #3 we'll likely wait the same amount of time between 2 & 3 as we did between 1& 2.
We started TTC #2 when #1 turned one.
-
We are just strating to TTC#2 and DS is 20 months!
IF we decide for #3, we'll probably start TTC earlier.... most likely if/when future LO#2 is one!
-
We're TTC #2 with LO at 23 months old. Life got busy for us as well as a toddler being a toddler. We just sat down and decided to go for it because we don't want a long age difference between LO and a sibling. So, this is what makes sense for us.
-
We are waiting at minimum until she is 3, probably 4. No desire for close together siblings.
-
The plan was to wait until LO 2 turned 1 but we have lots of stuff going on right now so we are waiting a little longer...prob TTC this fall or next year.
-
My plan is to not go back on birth control, so whenever! I just can't find birth control I like, so after baby #3 we'll take a more permanent form of birth control, and never have to worry about it again!
-
I think I'd like to wait until #2 is about 18 months before starting the TTC process for #3.
-
Our plan is to start when LO is about 1. So next Fall!
-
DD1 and DD2 are 23 months apart. I am hoping when DD2 is 1 we can start trying but I have to convince DH of that (dd2 is only 6 weeks so we are still in the sleep deprived state
)DH thinks I'm crazy but even when I was still pregnant I would make references to our next baby. I'm a planner!
-
Given how long it is taking to get to #2, I don't think I will use any type of BC after #2. We'll be careful until #2 is about 1 and then start TTC again.
-
@swurlygurl: You are giving me heart palpitations. I had also not really thought about birth control... I suppose I'll have to go back on that to prevent the babies?
-
@septca: yup, main reason why we did and will start TTC so soon. #1 took a year and #2 took 9 months. We like a 2-3 year max separation.
-
That's our plan. We'll start TTC #2 when #1 turns one and TTC #3 when #2 turns one. It took 13 months to conceive #1, so I want to start on the earlier side.
We won't be using BC between kids.
-
@BakerBee: Haha! Yeah, it was shock to me after L. Wait, what, birth control again?! I was able to use breastfeeding to keep me from getting pregnant RIGHT AWAY. It's a good thing I'm not opposed to close babies! L took 9 months, and Sis took 6 months, so it appears it takes me awhile? Hopefully the same will be true for #3 so my babies aren't 10 months apart
-
We're planning on 3 total. 1 and 2 will be 2.5ish years apart. Well likely wait longer for #3 because I plan on going back to school for residency training. That's a two year program I will hopefully start when #2 is 15 months
-
@locavore_mama: Yeah, it's no fun.
DD took 13 months and we are moving on to month 10 with #2...
-
DD was 20 months when we started TTC for #2, they will be almost 2 1/2 years apart. I would want to do the same for #3.
-
Because of my age we will probably start TTC pretty early.
-
We're planning on waiting until DD (#2) is 2 before we start TTC #3. We plan on having #3 and #4 back to back.
-
we'll TTC #2 when DD is 2, but i have a feeling #2 and #3 will be closer together, maybe closer to 2 years apart.
-
We originally wanted two kids pretty close together, and our boys will be just under a year and a half apart. Now I'm not so sure about not wanting a third...but if we do decide to have 3, there would be a larger gap mostly due to logistical/financial reasons.
-
I'm so jealous of all of you who are having 3 or more! This will most likely be my last baby. It took 7 months to get pregnant and we started when he was 15 months old. I love the 2 and a half year old difference.
-
LO is 17 months and we got our BFP this month
There was a 7 year age difference between LO1 and LO2. -
@MrsMccarthy: LOL. There is a saying where I live that a third kid is a status symbol because it proves that you can really afford to live here. I don't agree with that, but it does seem that having 3 kids is getting to be much more popular.
-
We waited until #2 was 12 months. I got pregnant when she was 16 months.
-
@septca: that's interesting!
LO#1 is taking a year (and counting), so I don't think I'll ever go back on BC. We would love 4 kids, so we will just keep trying.
-
@septca: that makes sense. I used to live in NYC and any friends I have who stay there have only had one child. The schooling situation alone is enough to influence that. Here is Portland it's more affordable to have 3 but probably not for us realistically at this point anyway. I hope you get KU soon! Pulling for you and hoping to see you with an April/May baby.
-
@septca: I hear that in some of my circles, but in my main circles people tend to have 3+! It's definitely not because we all are rolling in the dough
It's a lot think about in this area though.
-
@Weagle: Exactly.
-
I go back and forth on this. Sometimes I want a 2 year gap sometimes a 3 year (which is what 1 and 2 are) There are pros and cons to both and I just dont know but the longer I wait the closer it becomes to 3 then 2 naturally
IF we decide for #3, we'll probably start TTC earlier.... most likely if/when future LO#2 is one!

DD took 13 months and we are moving on to month 10 with #2...
