Sometimes I think I would like 3, but I see how stressed my sister is with 3 and how crazy her house can get and I reconsider lol. DH is pretty adamant about stopping at 2 though. We're both from families of 2.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148550 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 09:12:28 +0000 winniebee 1148550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would like 3, but if I'm on bed rest again with #2, we likely will stop at 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148441 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 08:33:50 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1148441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: @mrs. bird: @NaturallyCathy: I'm flagging too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148418 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 08:28:05 +0000 Littlebit 1148418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want 2 or 3..my husband would love 4 (he says that now..we don't have any yet!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148395 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 08:18:01 +0000 Grace 1148395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had wanted 2 kids, but being in the thick of the newborn phase has made me adopt DH's attitude about waiting to see how we feel in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148394 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 08:17:25 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1148394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I understand hon.

They can copy &amp; paste faster than I can flag &amp; describe! I've missed some, but hopefully they all get deleted soon. The idea of someone would promote themselves and want money from people who are already suffering is grotesque. My atheist infertile womb is insulted at the notion that I should pay someone to pray away my infertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148338 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 07:54:52 +0000 Marfi 1148338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: @mrs. bird: @gills: As have I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148337 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 07:54:39 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1148337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: @mrs. bird: me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148336 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 07:53:14 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1148336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I've been going through and flagging them too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1148331 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 07:49:13 +0000 mrs. bird 1148331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gills: you may want to stop wasting your time since all your posts are being flagged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1124152 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:15:36 +0000 Lindsay05 1124152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want more than 2 but voted 2 for now because right now I find it so hard to be pregnant with a toddler. If we do plan on more than 2, we will probably consider a larger gap for the next one! As long as baby fever doesn't hit again at 10 months pp :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1124142 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:12:18 +0000 Pepper 1124142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted 3, DH only wanted 1, so we'll probably compromise with 2.

But with IF and the struggle for the first I'm not sure how long after 35 (I'm 32 now) we are willing to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123922 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 14:02:49 +0000 heartonastring 1123922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for one and done :)</p> <p>We always wanted two but after we had DD we decided we love her to death and she's enough for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123803 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 13:28:14 +0000 GrapeCrush 1123803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted 3, DH says he wanted no more than 2.

Initially I wasn't thrilled about it, but now I'm really happy to know that we are done and just to be able to focus on my lo. It's definitely the right decision for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123733 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:58:14 +0000 banana 1123733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always said we wanted 2, no matter if they were both the same gender. And we're DEFINITELY stopping at 2! It's already exhausting as it is. Can't imagine raising 3. Although I would LOVE to have a large family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123678 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:37:06 +0000 betsyboop 1123678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to want 3, DH always wanted 2. Now that we have lo, I'd be happy with just her but DH wants one more. I'm hesitant about having LO be an only child so we'll probably decide soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123639 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:27:28 +0000 lawbee11 1123639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has kids from a previous marriage so I guess he's not one and done but M is probably the only one we'll have together. It always made me sad thinking of just having one (I always wanted two), but now that she's here she's my entire world and I'm totally fine with being done :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123614 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:14:54 +0000 jisforjessica 1123614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always said 2-3, but I am so overwhelmed with 1 I don't know if I could handle more. This could be the new mom in me talking, the feeling could pass, I guess only time will tell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123609 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:12:57 +0000 lioneyes 1123609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i want 1, DH wants 2. as of now, i have agreed to have 2, but obviously this is all dependent on how having 1 is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-out-there-only-want-one-child/page/2#post-1123548 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:49:32 +0000 Beehive 1123548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always wanted two but are wondering if we would be happier with one... I think we'll just wait and see, as we'll want them a few years apart anyway. Everything is so nice and easy with a family of 3 (in the city especially), but we may not want to deprive LO of a sibling. Difficult choices! Plus I don't know if I'll be able to resist having a squishy newborn again. So squishy. </p>
