I really don't want more than 2 kids, and would ideally try for #2 when #1 is 2.5 years old - so hopefully done by 32/33-ish! </p> <p>DH is open to a third if we have two of same gender though, while I don't really want to roll the dice just to attempt for a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1734523 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:37:17 +0000 bookwormmama 1734523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want 3 kids and I hope to be done by 35. I am currently 26 and my first LO is 4 months. We are hoping for a 3-4 year age gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1734470 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:10:26 +0000 psw27 1734470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on how many we have, 38 would be my cut off. I'm assuming we will be done at 34 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1734463 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:06:49 +0000 Boheme 1734463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still terrified at the prospect of having another, so if DS is our one and only, 27 and done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1734458 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:04:50 +0000 Mae 1734458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well if we don't have another I'll be 29 and done. At most we'll have one more, and at most I'd want to wait 5 years (prob less)... so I'll say I'll be no older than 35. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1734455 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:03:21 +0000 aegie 1734455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: right? I read all the comments and my first reaction was "wow, holy cow do I feel old!". </p> <p>I am currently pregnant with #2 and I will be 33 when the baby is born. If we do have a third, I'm hoping that I will be 35 at the time of birth. Going strictly on risk factors, I'd like to have all my kids by 35 but if we really wanted a third and I was past 35, I'd try up until 40. After that, I know I'm done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733869 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 10:17:36 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1733869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want one more and I'm 35 now so I think we'll be done by the time I turn 37. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733706 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 09:20:31 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1733706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either 25 or 26, depending on how difficult it is for us to conceive #3. But considering how easy it was for us to get pregnant the last two times... Probably 25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733581 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 08:38:26 +0000 artsyfartsy 1733581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30. I'm 23 and have a 4 month old and will be TTC in about 8 months. If we have #3 it probably will be in 5 years or so. I don't think we'll plan anymore after that. We may not even have #3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733448 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 07:37:51 +0000 ValentineMommy 1733448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had always hoped to have my kids by the time I was 30.........and I had my first at 32. I was hoping to be done by 35, but that time is getting closer and closer and we're definitely not done. I'm hoping by 37....at the very latest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733360 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 04:14:07 +0000 erinpye 1733360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turned 30, 2 weeks before my second was born almost 5 months ago. We're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733289 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 22:10:11 +0000 Mama Bird 1733289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>35 for me. Lots of women in my family had their youngest in their late 30s, but I'm nowhere near there and I feel myself getting creaky already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733182 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:13:12 +0000 Lindsay05 1733182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told DH, no kids after 35. I am 31 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733181 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:12:28 +0000 swedishfish 1733181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 31 when LO #2 is born as long as he/she keeps cooking. I'm feeling like our family would be complete with 3 LOs but I really don't want to be pregnant again. If we decide to go for a 3rd my limit is 34. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/3#post-1733179 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:09:23 +0000 catlady 1733179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping to be done by 36, but 40 is my ultimate cut-off, I think. I feel very old reading this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1733177 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 20:07:36 +0000 googly-eyes 1733177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I originally planned to be done by 30(ish) but if #2 happens soon, it'll be 25 since I'm not really open to the idea of a 3rd anymore and I don't want to stretch my child raising years too long by having them really far apart.. We got married and started young so that's the reason why, not really an age thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1733148 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 19:52:19 +0000 Ra 1733148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One and done at 29. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1733126 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 19:41:19 +0000 DillonLion 1733126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most likely done at 25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1733092 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 19:19:07 +0000 kjpugs 1733092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ASAP. We waited longer to have kids than I would have liked. I waiver often between omg let's have more right nowwwww so I'm not "too old" (just my comfort level) and omg I could not handle another right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1733075 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 19:04:11 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1733075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are a two maybe three family too, but if we go for a third I don't want to do it until this one is older, like 4-5 years old. So whenever that happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732996 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:49:32 +0000 Greentea 1732996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I have a set age in mind. We had LO at 29 and she is a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732988 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:45:18 +0000 hellocupcake 1732988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're most likely done after this one, but if DH wanted one more he has until I'm 30 to decide...3 more years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732983 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:41:21 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1732983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: happy birthday!! Mine is the 8th and I'll be 28 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732981 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:39:48 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1732981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be 28 in a week and am currently cooking LO#1. We want to start trying for #2 next Fall so they will be just barely 2 under 2, where I will be 30. Same deal, so maybe done by 32 or 34 depending on how many we have. DH wants 4 though I think I'd be happy with 3. So, done by 35. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732977 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:32:42 +0000 septca 1732977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly what @Winniebee said. I would have liked to say 35, but if we want 3 that just isn't going to be possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732965 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 17:18:28 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1732965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: Happy Birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732922 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 16:38:18 +0000 Glitter 1732922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want 2 more before 32. I'm 27. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732916 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 16:37:12 +0000 simplyfelicity 1732916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are leaning towards 2 kids though I would be thrilled with 3. I am currently 29 and due with our first LO next spring. So, probably 32 or 33 for 2 and 35 for 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732900 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 16:26:33 +0000 Synchronicity 1732900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope to be done by 30, but it has nothing to do with that specific age. Our "plan" (although, I know what they say about planning things like this....) is to have our first before/at 27 (TTC this fall), and our second about 2 years after that. My limit would probably be 35! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-will-you-be-when-youre-done-having-children/page/2#post-1732895 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 16:23:29 +0000 Sophs Mama 1732895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be a month shy of 28 when #2 arrives, and we hope to have the same spacing for #3, so I'll be almost 30 by the time we have #3! </p>
