I want to stop having babies when I'm 35. So I have 3 years to push out as many as I can! haha.

LOL @ push out as many as you can. I want to be 29 when I'm done, as I want to have 2 before I get too settled in my career, and for our parents to enjoy them for a bit (DH mom is already pretty sickly at 58). I'll be 25 in June, and we aren't even ttc yet sooo we will try for 2 under 2 in a year or two eep!!

@hunni: Oh wow! It's so great that you got married young and will have an established career soon!
I used to want kids when I was 21, 24 and 27! But I didn't get married until I was 29!

I don't really have an age. I guess I also don't want to be pregnant after 35.

I thought I would have 3 under 36. #1 is due a few months before I turn 32....but I'm not going to rush into #2 because of the whole being on bedrest from weeks 30-36 thing. So, not sure how this changes our plans!

@chopsuey119: Thank you for the young comment! Where we live 25 is OLD to get married. There's two groups-those who are now married with 2 kids at 25, and a much smaller group of us finishing up grad programs, just getting started getting engaged & married!

@hunni: Wow! I have noticed that people get married a lot younger in the south! I really like it!

About 34 for being pregnant, IF we have another. It took a yr to get pregnant with Baby Bear, not trying to take that long again.
@chopsuey119: Yes they do.Leave it to the aunts on one side of my family and I am really an old maid to not be married at the age of 31. LOL

I'd like to have our last by 30. I'm 24, so this seems somewhat feasible! We're thinking 2 if the second's a boy..and on the fence about a 3rd based on finances.

@chopsuey119: Yep, I'm in the South and got married at 21. A lot of people I graduated with got married right after college. DH and I are 22/23 now and TTC #1. I want 3 kids and I hope to be done by 29 or 30.

When back in college, I thought 25 was a good age to start having kids, well I didn't get married until I was 26. At that time, I didn't want to be having kids at 35. I am 28 and *hopefully* will be pregnant when i'm 29. We are in cycle 6 in TTC our first and I'm glad its more acceptable for women to be pregnant in their 30s. At this rate I might be 35 when and if we have our third. Right now, I'm just waiting to get pregnant with my first whenever that happens.

Heck, I thought I'd be done with babies and at least have 10+ year olds by now but sometimes you can't plan life. I'll be having my first at 38 1/2. We are somewhat sure that we will just have the one, which people get on us for all the time, but given my age and the fact that the older you get the more of a chance there is for health problems and issues, we are of the frame of mind that one healthy child is worth so much! If I had to put a number on it, it would be 41 - which seems so far away. It's hard to believe sometimes just how old I am.

I think like 33...because that leaves me some wiggle room if I change my mind and decide I want another.
honeydew / 7589 posts
I'm 21, almost 22,been married a year, and we plan on starting TTC in June. I think we'll probably do one kid every two years until we have three... and then we shall see. So... 22, 24, and 26!

I hope to a pregnant with the last by 35. We'll see how that works out....

I'd like to say 27-28 just to avoid the AMA issue and DH getting too old being five years older with a heart condition.
GOLD / squash / 13464 posts
Well if this little bean sticks I'll be 28 when my first is born. I'd like three years between kids so 31 for my second and we'll likely stop there.

I'd prefer to be done by 30, but the cut-off is 33. #1 is due shortly after my 27th birthday.

Had my fourth and final kid when I was 30. They tied my tubes with my c section. So I know there's no more coming
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
@Oceanis723: Wow! That's awesome! Must be nice to have had 4 by 30!

I'd like to be done with pregnancies by 30. At this point we'd like to have three or four, though we're not strict about the number. 3-4 by 30 is definitely in the realm of possibility for me.

I'd like to be done by 35. I'm 29 now and due with my first in June. We could easily have another two before I'm 35, even allowing for a little bit of a gap between kids. Thank goodness, because I am ready for a break from being pregnant!

Well our twins are due in a month, and I'll be 35 in mid July. Eek. Where did the years go?! I guess it's a good thing in most ways, but I've never felt as old as I am at any point, so for us getting pregnant was really a " Better get on with it" type thing. The plan is, to have a little think next year, when the twins turn 1, about whether we want to go again. And my personal absolute limit is 37- if I'm not pregnant by my 37th birthday, 17th July 2014, then it's all over and we will sort out more permanent contraception. I'm all set for him to have the snip. Curiously, he's not so enthusiastic;)

Probably by age 30. I am 22 now and just had my first. I will probably have two more?? We'll see..! I'm nervous about having more lol
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
Ideally before I'm 36. I always wanted my first before I turn 30...I'm cutting it REALLY close so let's see if it happens! My birthday is 6 days after my EDD! hehe
blogger / pomegranate / 3300 posts
@chopsuey119 to be fair I have only had two pregnancies so my timing is a little more crunched together. I adopted when I was 27, had my twins when I was 28 and had my four when I was thirty. My first three happened in less than a year so that kind of bumped up my numbers a lot quicker than I expected.

If you had asked me 10 years ago I probably would have said 35 as well...but when you meet the love of your life at 37 you have to work with what you've got!
42 is my age now. I had my first at 38, had a really great pregnancy and am now about 6kgs ( 15 lbs?) lighter than when I became pregnant. (and was in great shape then). Obviously I worry about being higher risk but we will just have to see how we go.

My husband is 30 now and would like to be done by 40. I'm 23 and being done by 33 sounds good to me.
persimmon / 1472 posts
I'd want to be done by 35 so we're not too old by the time they graduate college. We just had LO three months ago and I think we are shooting for two, three max. I'm hoping to wait at least a year before we start trying for number two!

I would like to have our last before I am 27 or 28. I am still torn between having 2 or 3 kids.
