We still want 2-3 kiddos, but like others have said at least 2-3 years apart. I never knew how much I could love my little baby, and now that she is here, I don't want to have another too soon, I want to just enjoy her and spoil her for a while.
However, I am completely freaked out about delivering/recovering from another birth though (60 hour induction with emergency forceps delivery). Easy pregnancy, easy BF, awful nightmare delivery

Didn't change. But I could see how people would keep wanting more and more kids. I thought 3 would be crazy before, but now I understand the desire for more. Not that I'll be attempting 3!
-
No change. Wanted 3 before and still do. Praying they're as easy babies as R was. Toddlerhood is a whole new game though! Ha.
-
No change. I still want 3 and we've agreed to see how we do with 2 and take it from there. Lets hope the potential #2 is as easy as B!

Same as you, @mrstiz: now there's no way I'm going to feel ready to TTC again when she's a year, so I'm happy waiting another year so they're at least 3yrs apart and settling for 2 rather than 3.
-
Went from maybe 3 to definitely 2 and through. LO is a very demanding baby and that has made us seriously reconsider how much energy we have to dedicate to future children. My midwife also wants me to wait at least a year to TTC - my iron levels got very low during pregnancy- so that's pushed our timeline out further and I would like to have finished childbearing in my early 30s (I'm 29 now).

Always wanted 2, even though my first LO was rough.
-
Pre-baby, our ideal was 2. Now we're undecided if we want another. We've had sometime to think about it (LO's turning 2 this summer), but we're still on the fence. We'd prefer a three year+ spacing anyway, so there's a little time.

It did change, yeah. The plan was to TTC around E's first birthday but that was before I knew how challenging parenting really is and how expensive daycare is! I think, as well, E makes me feel complete and while I do still want another child (I'd really like two more but I don't think it's on the cards for us) I don't feel any kind of rush right now. I'm content with my little family right now.
.....and, I repeat, it's really, really hard work!! Gah!
