Happy surprises aside, when do you want to be done having kids?
We're a two maybe three family.
I'm hoping to be done by 35! (I'll be 31 in August, 1 DS -19months)

If we have two, hopefully I'll be 35. If we have three, probably 37!

No specific age in mind. I'm currently 30 and will be 31 by the time this baby, my 1st, is born. Ideally I'd like about 4 years between my children so I guess I'll be about 35 when the second one, (and last), comes along. Of course this is all conjecture.

Funny looking back I thought I would be done having kids by age 25!
I had my last at 35.

I'll be 32 when this kiddo arrives, and I'm thinking we are donezo after that!

Well, I'm expecting #2 any day and I'll be 23 when she is born. We're undecided about family size at this point but know we want at least a 3-4 year break before trying for another or another two. That'd put me around 28 before a future #3 and probably 30 for #4.

I'm 35 and pregnant with my second. We were thinking possibly 3 when we first got married but we are both feeling like we will be done having kids after this one. I don't ever want to be pregnant again and DH is very happy with 2 kids

If all goes according to plan #3 will be at 35 and #4 will be at 37.

thinking this is our last..so, I'll be 26 (almost 27) when baby is born.

I wanted to be done by 35, but I'll be 30 when #2 arrives and then I think we'll be done!

If we have four and everything goes smoothly, I guess I will be 32ish.
We only have one though, so not sure how many we will end up with. I just turned 26.
cantaloupe / 6791 posts
We want 3 kids and I'd like to be done by 28ish. We have one now and I'm 24.

I'm pregnant with #2 now and I'm 35. If we try for a 3rd, I'd like to right away, I want to be done by the time I'm 37.

35! I'll be 30 when I have my first, so hopefully I'll have my 2nd by 33 so it's definitely feasible for me!

I'd want up to three kids. I'm 31.5 now and no LO's yet sooo.... I'm hoping I will be done by 36.

We have 2 LOs now and I'm 24 (almost 25). Ill probably be 26 or 27 when we gave our third and hopefully 28 or 29 when we have #4. So I'm aiming to be done by 30!

I honestly don't know. I don't make rules for this. Biologically I'll be done when my body decides to start menopause and my husband only wants two kids at this point , though his recent confession that he loves being a dad makes me think he could change his mind someday. I'm 37 now and we are trying for number 2. My age is not really a factor in when to stop but its a factor in getting moving on the process. I don care how old I am when we stop so long as babies are all happy healthy and we are too.

We hope to space our children with about 21 months in between them. If we're successful in that and our plans don't change, I'd be 41 when our sixth child is born.

Not sure. I am 35 and if we have another I will be 36 or 37 but I wouldn't want to be pregnant any later then that.

We have two, and we feel pretty certain we're done. So by 30....
But we're leaving things open juuuust in case we change our minds, and we want to make that decision by the time we're 33... so I guess the absolute latest we'd have kids is 34!

I'll be 33 when this LO arrives and I think we will be done. If we decide to have a third for some reason, I hope to be done by 36.

We just had our first (almost 6wks ago), I'm 30 and DH is 36. We think we want at least 3 but are open to more if that seems feasible as we move along... Assuming health/finances/etc was all in place I'd have no problem continuing into my 40s, either conceiving or adopting, if we still want to grow our family! Probably by 46 I'd expect to be finished, if biology hasn't stepped in and decided for me by then!

I will be 26 (almost 27) when #2 is due. Depending on how things go, I may want a 3rd, but I don't have a hard timeline. I think 30 would be my ultimate cut-off just for child spacing.
@Skadi: Ooooh 6. How many do you have now?

I hope to have 3 by 35. It is my 27th birthday today and I will be having my forst in january fingers crossed.

Hopefully by 35, so by next year. I'm a two and through. I had LO #1 at 32.

I'm 33 and done for now. had #2 5 months ago and we want a break if we decide on #3.

Will likely be done after 2, so done by 35 is the plan (gives me a little over 3 years to make that happen).
