i haven't loved pregnancy. told dh that i may change my mind about 3 if we end up with one of each with the first two. still on the table.. but def thinking twice about it.
-
After DD, I told my husband I wanted a million.
I hate pregnancy, but I love babies!
-
I LOVED my pregnancy but motherhood is tough! Before I was pregnant, I said 4. Then I got pregnant and said 3. Then I had a baby and was like...MAYBE 2!
-
I also didn't love pregnancy .... my migraines were awful! But its so worth it for lo. My number went way up
-
I loved being oregnant and I adore my LO, but I am only doing this newborn thing twice and that second time is only to give her a playmate. It is just soooo hard.
-
I haven’t loved pregnancy at all. My anxiety ridden personality is just not well suited to it! BUT there are some things that I love and I know that once LO is here I won’t think pregnancy was so bad. We’ll see how it affects our number
-
Pregnancy isn't quite as magical as everyone made it out to be. I feel like I have a serious health ailment! Ha lol.
-
I've always wanted at least 2, most likely 3, possibly 4.
4 is out of the question since I want to stop after I'm 35 years old.
I'll be a month shy of 33 when #2 is born.
Unless #3's are twins, 3 will be our max! -
I didn't really mind the pregnancy first time around. Was harder the second time with a toddler around. I don't like post pregnancy at all. I've always wanted just 2 and now that I have two, I'm done.
-
I didn't love pregnancy, but I didn't outright hate it either. And compared to the hand that some people are dealt, I know I had it relatively easy. Even the birth wasn't bad. However, I had a seriously rough time adjusting to life with a newborn. In the early days (LO is 13 weeks old now) I was thinking I might be a "one and done". Now that she's older/easier, I still think I'm going to hold off for a while, but I will probably have another.
-
I didn't really like being pregnant, but I get excited at the thought of being pregnant again... it was CHILDBIRTH that changed my mind. There is no way on God's green earth I will go through that willingly like 4, 5, 6 times!! hahaha
I had always been open to the idea of a big family if we had the means for it... but now... idk. Maybe I'll have 2-3 and then if we can adopt a couple I can have a big family that way.
-
After DS I didn't really think I'd want anymore. Then I remarried & we talked about having 2 or 3 bringing our total to 3/4. Having had "our" 1st about 5 months ago I'm on the fence about having more.
Pregnancy both times wasn't great but wasn't terrible either... So long as I'm not big & pregnant through the summer I'm for it!
Giving birth to DD was AMAZING! This is what makes me want to have more.
Her being here as at times been hell on earth as she's had lots of tummy issues & is overall a very demanding baby. This is the part that some days makes me not wanna have more.... Just bc the risk of having another "difficult" baby.
I'm sure once she grows a bit more independent I'll be back on board for more.... Maybe in a couple years.
-
I've been telling Mr. Blue that I'm done with pregnancy after this. I've been feeling so icky, plus I'm terrified of ending up with two sets of twins! Since we'll have two boys or two girls this time, I told Mr. B that we're adopting after this. We wanted to adopt anyway, but I just can't imagine wanting to be pregnat again. Maybe when they arrive, I'll feel differently!
-
I loved pregnancy but motherhood is tough. Originally I wanted 3. Now I am content with my LO. Of course DH wants more, and secretly I think I do too. I'm just afraid of being a SAHM with an infant and toddler with no outside help.
-
We're planning to have only one
I haven't loved being pregnant & don't really want to go through it again. However, I wonder if my opinion will change once she is here?? We shall see. But as of now, we're one & done!
-
I'm in the same boat as pp who have said that pregnancy was awesome but motherhood is tough. Originally I wanted 2 but as of right now I am perfectly content with my LO. He brings me soooo much joy but man does he wear me out...and he's not even mobile yet!!!
-
@Honeybee: same! I thought I was one and done and now I want a million
-
I always wanted 4 and still do. I really didn't like being pregnant last time but once LO1 was born I knew I was meant to have lots of kids! Now that we know that LO2 is boy as well, we will definitely try at least for a third.
-
I've always wanted 2 and that hasn't changed. Pregnancy was okay, delivery was amazing, but parenting is a lot harder than I thought. DH keeps saying just LO and we'll get a sportscar
-
Before our 1st daughter, we thought we might be one and done. After, I wanted at least 2 more. Now we're content with whatever the universe brings us. We feel so happy with our family the way it is!
-
@Mrs. Jacks: I love your little family too! You all are soo cute
-
LO is not here yet, but it went from 2, hopefully 3-4 to 2-3 (and probably just 2) just from being pregnant! It made me realize that even though we could stretch the budget and have more...Idk, I just want more than I thought I did for our LOs. I guess it will depend on when I complete my MA, how much I'm making... I have a good idea on what DH will be making.
-
I really enjoyed pregnancy and motherhood so far, and I don't think it's changed our number. I've always wanted at least two, even three (!!!) and I still want the same. DD is pretty fussy and such, but I just love the feeling of being a mom so much!
-
No, but the timeline got extended by several months. After our son was born, we were planning to start trying again, like right now. After a few months of not forgetting some of the pregnancy miseries, we are going to wait to start trying again until early next year.
-
I was a single mom with my son, and I swore I never wanted any more kids. I had always wanted like 3 or 4, but after doing that alone, I didn't want anymore, even married. But after he got older I decided that maybe I do, and I was married, and DH wanted kids, so we decided to have more. Now, we would like 3 total, so one more, but if we just have the 2, we will be happy
-
I wanted more than 1, but now that we're 20 months in, we're done...at least I am pretty sure I don't want to do the newborn stage all over again.
I hate pregnancy, but I love babies!
