I'm leaning towards one and done but how do you know that's the right decision and that your family is complete?

Right after DD was born I said no way can I do this again. Now at 6 months I'm thinking one more in a few years.

I just feel done, honestly. I don't feel that ache, any more. I miss being pregnant, I hormonally love babies, etc. My husband is also dead set on at least one more, if not a bunch. But if he weren't, I'd probably be happy to be one and done.

I'm done after this one. When I first became pregnant, or even before, with this one, I thought *maybe* another after this...but nope...I don't want to be pregnant again. I'm done after this, 100% sure.

OMG I struggle with this so much. DH and I both thought after our second we were done. When my youngest was about 3 my urge came back. DH is sure we are done now (with 3). I have always wanted 4, but know I need to compromise. I hope at some point I am completely sure or at least at piece with being done. I do have to say that it does get easier as the kids get older and things seem to settle into a routine-almost like you are on cruise.

I'm not sure ill ever feel complete. I'm hoping for 3 or 4, but for financial reasons and health reasons well probably only have two.

I am 100% done with 2. I have zero desire to be pregnant with two kids. Pregnant with one toddler was hard enough!

I have no idea!!! I am finally at that point where I love being a mom (I honestly didn't for awhile), but now that I know and feel how great it is I am excited for more. Both DH and I grew up in large families (5-6 kids) and we loved it but idk if I'm up for that. And financially speaking it would be so hard. We've talked about 2... 3... then maybe 4... I think 3 is what we're thinking thus far but we're so undecided and just want to see where life takes us

I knew I had more love to share. Our family felt wonderful, but not quite complete. Now, it's harder because life is so perfect, but we're not 100% sure either way.

I have one of each and we're done. Can't explain how amazing it feels when the 4 of us are in a room together..

If being a human mom is anything like being a cat mom for me I might never be done. Everytime I go to the pet store or humane society I pick another one up. Whether its fostering 6 orphan babies and bottle feeding them every 2 hours or keeping a sick old cat til he dies, I can never have enough! I feel like that's how it will be if I can ever have kids. I seriously want 10+ kids. Oh I would adore it. But I just have to wait and see what happens with my body

@Honeybee:
Edited to add: You know I feel so blessed with happy healthy girls that I wonder if I'd be pressing my luck to do it all again!
