My mom and grandma are at it again telling me to have another, as if I can just say yes and pop one out! *eyeroll* Their reason is so DD will have a playmate. DH and I still have a few months before our upcoming family planning talk (we specified a date, lol). By that time, DD would be settled into daycare and us into our new routines. Plus, we just went on vacay for 2 weeks with both of us giving DD our undivided attention. Taking into account all the recent events, I think I'd be happy with whatever we decide.

But to be honest, pre-vacay I was maybe 60% for TTC another. Coming out of vacation, I'm more 80% against it!!

When LO was a week old, my mom told me not to wait too long to have another! I looked at her like she was crazy! But she said that she wished there wasn't such a gap between my brother and I (5.5 years). She wanted 3 kids, pretty close in age, but had fertility issues between me and my brother

Long story short, but she wanted me to have at least 1 more, ideally 2 more.

My mom and grandma casually brings up (every once in awhile) how I should have 1 more.

MIL has hinted (very rarely) about how easier a second child is compared to the first.

FIL hasn't mentioned anything.

On good nights, followed by a good day, I admit I contemplate having another. But it doesn't take long for something to happen to make me realize we're not ready!

My dad says the more the merrier, my mom was happy with one from us and both ILs would have preferred we were child free. We're leaning more towards 3.
