@Cherrybee: ha same reasoning but different outcome.
-
We wanted at least four before I got pregnant. DH still wants at least four. Right now, lying in bed sick with constant nausea... I'm thinking one. But who knows? It just might be all worth it and I'll stick to the original plan
-
We're one and done. DH was an only child and loved it. I was leaning toward two because I have siblings and adore them. But we both feel like we work best as parents of one. Its only a little bit because we're still traumatized by the newborn phase.
-
I'm pregnant with #1, and right now I'm not sure whether we'll want a second or not. We usually talk as if we will, but I'm still constantly telling DH "let's start with this one and then see how we feel about another." He's the really baby-crazy one; I wanted at least one kid but also would have been fine with it if we'd ended up childfree for whatever reason. I'm interested to see whether/how our attitudes change once the LO arrives.
-
We always thought we wanted 2, but now we're leaning towards one and done. My pregnancy and labor and delivery weren't so terrible, and D was a fantastic newborn and is a very happy boy. But I think we're both thinking that rather than have a 2nd and stretch our financial means, we'll just "spoil" our one and make sure we can give him the life we really want him to have!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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
-
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.
-
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!
-
We are one and done due to a compromise before we got married. 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.
-
I wanted 3, DH says he wanted no more than 2. We have 2 and are done....which I am ok with
-
Another vote for one and done
We always wanted two but after we had DD we decided we love her to death and she's enough for us.
-
In my imaginary world, if I was able to get pregnant right now, I would want two. 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.
-
At least one sibling for my son. Hubby wants to stop at two. I would love to have 3 but I also think so long as we have two my family won't feel incomplete.
-
I want 3, DH wants 3-4!
The thought of having 3 kids exhausts me but I LOVE the idea of a big, noisy family
-
I always wanted 3 but now that I have one I think I may stop at 2
-
We were 2-3 but after my first trimester, we're pretty much sold on only doing this one more time!
-
I really want 4! Love the two we have and definitely not done.
-
@betsyboop: same here. I always thought I wanted 3, but I feel okay w/ just 1. DH is the one who wants a second more than I do.
-
I used to be pretty firmly in the one and done camp but after having one I think I would like to have one more. Two is the max though!!! I would be happy with just my one though
-
I always wanted 3, DH only wanted 1, so we'll probably compromise with 2. He's open to 2, but 3 is a NO go for him.
-
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

@gills: you may want to stop wasting your time since all your posts are being flagged.
-
@mrs. bird: I've been going through and flagging them too.
-
@NaturallyCathy: @mrs. bird: me too.
-
@NaturallyCathy: @mrs. bird: @gills: As have I.
-
@NaturallyCathy: it's hard to keep up! They can copy & paste faster than I can flag & 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.
-
@mrs. bird: I understand hon. I was enraged and disgusted on behalf of others which is why I started flagging as soon as I saw t. I think I got them all. I went onto the profile and went through all the posts.
-
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.
-
I want 2 or 3..my husband would love 4 (he says that now..we don't have any yet!).
-
@oliviaoblivia: @mrs. bird: @NaturallyCathy: I'm flagging too.
-
Would like 3, but if I'm on bed rest again with #2, we likely will stop at 2.
-
We both have agreed to 2. 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..
