Age when you're done having children?

    Hoping to be done by 36, but 40 is my ultimate cut-off, I think. I feel very old reading this!

    I'll be 31 when LO #2 is born as long as he/she keeps cooking. I'm feeling like our family would be complete with 3 LOs but I really don't want to be pregnant again. If we decide to go for a 3rd my limit is 34.

    I told DH, no kids after 35. I am 31 now.

    35 for me. Lots of women in my family had their youngest in their late 30s, but I'm nowhere near there and I feel myself getting creaky already.

    I turned 30, 2 weeks before my second was born almost 5 months ago. We're done.

    I had always hoped to have my kids by the time I was 30.........and I had my first at 32. I was hoping to be done by 35, but that time is getting closer and closer and we're definitely not done. I'm hoping by 37....at the very latest.

    30. I'm 23 and have a 4 month old and will be TTC in about 8 months. If we have #3 it probably will be in 5 years or so. I don't think we'll plan anymore after that. We may not even have #3.

    Either 25 or 26, depending on how difficult it is for us to conceive #3. But considering how easy it was for us to get pregnant the last two times... Probably 25.

    We want one more and I'm 35 now so I think we'll be done by the time I turn 37.

    @catlady: right? I read all the comments and my first reaction was "wow, holy cow do I feel old!".

    I am currently pregnant with #2 and I will be 33 when the baby is born. If we do have a third, I'm hoping that I will be 35 at the time of birth. Going strictly on risk factors, I'd like to have all my kids by 35 but if we really wanted a third and I was past 35, I'd try up until 40. After that, I know I'm done.

    Well if we don't have another I'll be 29 and done. At most we'll have one more, and at most I'd want to wait 5 years (prob less)... so I'll say I'll be no older than 35.

    I'm still terrified at the prospect of having another, so if DS is our one and only, 27 and done.

    Depending on how many we have, 38 would be my cut off. I'm assuming we will be done at 34 though.

    We want 3 kids and I hope to be done by 35. I am currently 26 and my first LO is 4 months. We are hoping for a 3-4 year age gap.

    I'll be a few months shy of 29 when #1 arrives. I really don't want more than 2 kids, and would ideally try for #2 when #1 is 2.5 years old - so hopefully done by 32/33-ish!

    DH is open to a third if we have two of same gender though, while I don't really want to roll the dice just to attempt for a girl!
