While pregnant with S I thought I was done. Then I lost her and got ku again with this one. This one has been a lot more comfortable so now I think I might want one more in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334386 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 02:21:27 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1334386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still want 3 but my husband only wanted 1 after our son and finally came around to having 2 this summer. Our original idea was to have two then see about a third but now I'm thinking he will need to be done after our next and I'm okay with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334365 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 01:27:07 +0000 lilteacherbee 1334365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I still want 3. Even with my insane anxiety and gestational diabetes, I enjoyed pregnancy for the most part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334343 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:43:28 +0000 Running Elley 1334343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I originally wanted 4 and I still do. I dread being pregnant again though...I really hate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334342 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:43:05 +0000 wheres_c 1334342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted one.

He laughed in my face and said we can't handle more than two. Now that #2 is more than likely a girl, I'm hoping he'll change his mind so we can try for a boy. Well see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334316 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:18:33 +0000 luckypenny 1334316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wanted 3, before I got pregnant when I had a toddler to run after ;) I am pretty sure I'll be okay with two but I'm still young...I have time to forget the exhaustion and crave a newborn lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334311 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:13:18 +0000 Purpledaisy 1334311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

Not really because of pregnancy or even the newborn stage alone...they are expensive! And I don't think I'd have enough time for each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334223 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:33:26 +0000 Mamadee 1334223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I decided on two before lo was born. He still wants two but now I think I want three! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334219 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:32:35 +0000 Zbug 1334219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: same. I wanted three but now we are thinking two. Even with passing stuff down, it's just so expensive and I want to be able to travel with my kids, pay for dance/music/whatever classes, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334215 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:30:27 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1334215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of being pregnant but I still want 4.. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1334206 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:26:25 +0000 birdofafeather 1334206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. wanted 3 before and still want 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333386 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:33:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1333386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think just seeing how expensive things are locked us in at 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333361 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:30:31 +0000 swedishfish 1333361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it went from 3 to 2 at most. I seriously considered being one and done for a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333354 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:28:48 +0000 mrsjyw 1333354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: same! i had an average pregnancy, average l&amp;d, DS is an eASY baby and i'm still apprehensive about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333349 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:28:00 +0000 SAHM0811 1333349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we always wanted 3, but after each kid, we would say we were done, but still keep open minds. Both times after they turned 2ish, we got baby fever again, so we will be having 3 afterall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333338 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:26:50 +0000 jhd 1333338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still want two, but DH &amp; I are rethinking our idea of having them super close together. Pregnancy is tough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333336 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:26:33 +0000 Mae 1333336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it has made me a bit more apprehensive about having more. I'm only 23 weeks and by all accounts have an "easy" pregnancy and honestly-- I don't like it. I know it will be worth it, but I just don't physically like being pregnant. So I'm not super pumped to do it again, especially knowing the worst is yet to come (3rd tri and birth!) and also that my next pregnancy could easily be much harder than this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333332 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:26:03 +0000 chopsuey 1333332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we wanted 3 or 4. then I got pregnant with DS and we decided to stop! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333326 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:25:25 +0000 autumnlove 1333326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, went from 2 to 3 right after #1 was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-desired-for-children-change-after-pregnancy#post-1333317 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 20:24:13 +0000 mrsjyw 1333317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted three before DS, now if the next one's a girl, I'd be ok with two. :P Told DH that we'll have to wait and see how i feel even if LO#2 is a boy! </p>
