If you aren't done having children,

    Same, 35! I'm already high risk so I would like to be done soon. I'm 29 now, hoping to have #2 when I am 30/31, leaving the door open for an unlikely #3

    I am 37 and have 2 kids! I would live # 3 by 39!

    29! I'm pregnant with #2 and then we'll get some kind of permanent birth control.
    I always said I'd be done by 30 so it's worked out perfectly.

    I met my husband at 32, married at 34, and had my first baby at 36. We're not sure yet if we will have a second, but if we do I hope to be done before 40. I want to wait til the baby is at least a year old before thinking about a second one, though.

    I think 35 is most likely but I'd be ok with 37 or so. I am 32 and have an almost 1 year old. I don't see us having more than one more so I don't feel any time pressure or desire to try soon. The first one took quite a few tries but I'm so happy with the end result that I don't think I'll feel the same pressure again. I know it's different for people who have real trouble but for us if we're just a little slow we can be patient for one more baby.

    I'm 24 and we have two kids already. I'm hoping for a 3rd and would like to be done by 30.

    Life didn't go as planned. Ha.
    I met at 34 got married just after turning 36, wanted to be married a year and then had IF. First baby born at 39 and a half. TTC second now at 41, but needing IF treatment again.

    I guess my point is you just never know. I want two and would have liked to have been done by 35.

    I'd like to be done by 35, possibly sooner. Had my first at 25, #2 will be born when I'm 27, I'd like #3 by 30 or 31 and potentially #4 by 33 or 34.

    32. My mom went through menopause at 38. And while she had a healthy kiddo at 34, I really have no desire to go through the extensive tests she had to.

    35. But hopefully a little earlier.

    32, I think! I'm 27, and just conceived our second, so if say we have a third, it would be around 30. But, that leaves some openness with spacing and who knows, maybe we'd have a fourth? (haha, there's no way.)

    My age doesn't concern me too much, I think spacing and family circumstances (esp where we live-- dh doesn't want another in our current apt) are bigger factors. That said, I'm 30 now, would like a 2-3 year gap between kids (we want 2) but we prob won't move for a little longer than that... But I hope it'll be before I'm 34, just bc I think a 4 yr gap is as long as id want...

    I am 32 and my EDD is 12/13/14- so looks like I will be done at 32! 2 kids is all we ever wanted- so after this we are done!

    I guess I would say 35, just because of statistics, but I never really had an age in mind. I'm turning 30 this year. DH wants to try for a biological child. I know adoption is in our future, so I don't feel much pressure (right now anyways).

    Ideally 30, but it's not a big deal if I don't make it

    @mrsjyw: been thinking of you too!! You'll know soon, right?

    30!!!

    I never had an age in mind where I wanted to be done! Heck, I didn't have an age in mind when I wanted to start! I didn't want kids at all until suddenly I did, and then I got pregnant a month later. I suppose at some point I'll know I'm done and that will be my perfect age.

    Originally, the plan was 35. Had my first at nearly 31 and my second will be born when I'm 33 (very nearly 34). All I know is, I cannot handle too close of a gap, so if we do decide to go for a third, I guess I would like to be done by 36/37.

    Ideally, 35...and 2 kids. But we are likely on track to have #1 only a few months (or less) before my 35th birthday, so that won't happen. Due to IVF (and self-imposed limits), it is extremely likely that all bio-kids will be conceived before 35.

    If everything went according to plan (which will most likely not happen), I'd say 33? By 35 at the latest. My mom had her last child at 33, so in my head since we started at 28, I figured we could knock out 3 kids by 33-35. But the best laid plans...

    Probably 30ish? I am 27, and we are TTC #2. We are undecided as to the final number of kids. Def two, maybe three.

    29 would be my max, not because of my age but because of the max gap I'd prefer between LOs and DH's age.

    Hopefully 36. We're on track for now.

    I always thought I'd be done by 30...I had my first at 30 and my second at 31. We are more than likely done at two, but if we decide to go for a 3rd, I want to be done at 35(I'm 32 now)

    It's looking like 36. Just turned 35, but don't have plans to really start TTC til Nov/Dec
