Do you plan to have more children?

Nina J wrote: Just curious

I will say yes, just one more, 4 is what we want. But, it could be a maybe too - we're not preventing, with the idea that if it happens, woo hoo. If it doesn't, it wasn't meant to be.

my2monkeyboys replied: We are not wanting to have another right now, but neither have done anything permanent in the prevention department. Honestly, if we had even a slightly larger house we probably would have 1 more in a year or so. But once I'm 38 (I'll be 35 in April), there will be no more unless God Himself just makes it happen!

MoonMama replied: We are thinking this will be the last one. But haven't decided 100% so we'll see, definitely no more for a good 5 or 6 years.

boyohboyohboy replied: we wont be having anymore since I had my tubes tied after andrew..although watching him turn into a preschooler..makes me wish I hadnt..

my2monkeyboys replied: You know, Stacy, that's the reason we haven't done anything permanent... just in case we get that bug again. But for those who have had it done (at least on the woman's side) it can be successfully reversed. A friend of mine did it and now she has a beautiful 2-yr-old daughter (her third baby).

~Roo'sMama~ replied: We're planning on having a couple more.

CantWait replied: We're officially done!

Mama~Love replied: I didn't vote, but I'd LOVE to have a dozen! But, I have to face reality that it's not going to happen. I seriously don't know if we'll even be able to have one more. I've been having a very tough time lately, it's been a hard year, as my EDD for my miscarried angel is coming up on December 11th, and it's pure torture that I don't have my baby.

And with what issues I have going on with my fertility - I don't think I'll be able to have another. It just might kill me, the thought of not having another is something I can't even think about. I'm only 34, I can't believe Abby is almost 4 years old. If I had known she'd be my last, I would've done so much differently.

We've been actively TTC for a year now, but that yearning for another has been there for over 3 years. It took 5 months to get a BFP, and then to have it end in a miscarriage has been the worst thing I've ever gone through. It's been 6 months since I lost my baby, and it's not gotten any better for me emotionally.

We have everything we need for a baby, there's not a single thing I can think of that we'd need to buy. I'd like to knit & sew some things, but that's about it. Why can't we be blessed again? What did we do to deserve this pain?

I don't even feel like celebrating the holidays. It's hard to be cheerful and happy when you're feeling the worst pain in your life.

Sorry that got so long, maybe I should've started another thread instead.

Nina J replied: I'm so sorry, Mollie That just breaks my heart. I think neither dh nor I want to get our hopes up too much, but I do think if we don't have another, it will hurt.

I hope you are blessed again, soon If you ever need to talk, feel free to pm me. I know I don't know you well, but I am always here (for everyone!).

PrairieMom replied: Charlie is the caboose on my baby train. LOL
DH got the big V in october.
Assuming AF comes on thursday like she is supposed to, since I had that scary ill timed spotting last week.... C's a tough customer, and 3 kids is about all we can handle.

PrairieMom replied: Mollie, I had no idea so much time had passed already. I think about you all the time.

coasterqueen replied: We are done. We are the perfect family of 4 The amount of time it takes to get them to all their activities and give them the amount of attention they deserve.....we'd be short changing someone if we had a third in our family. With two kids, both of us (Ryan and I) can make sure they get all our attention - a third (or more) just means someone gets less attention at some time or another - not fair to them.

luvbug00 replied: So done. I love having mya but since she is almost grown I cant even/or want to even fathom starting all over again. I realized that I was sooo lucky to have her young and grow with her. I also was severely underestimating what it would take to parent. I dont regret her one bit but Had I not gotten preg back then I think i would have chosen to be childless as an adult. so No more for me.

moped replied: So done!

I love my babies and have one of each and they are great!

Tom had the V 2 years ago!

stella6979 replied: No way, Jose! We are done!!!

youngmomofone replied: I can't imagine being done. At least not yet. What happens in the future will determine if we will have more, but I can never say done.

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: ha! Funny you should ask. I'm POAS tomorrow.

Calimama replied:
Good luck!

And.. we're not done. Although I'm quite content with just Bella.

HuskerMom replied: We're done, we wanted 2. Originally we wanted 2 boys but having one of each is great. I'm just building up the courage to get my tubes tied.

PrairieMom replied:
i made DH do his part. It really was no big deal. He went to work the next day. Although, it cost us $1500. not covered by insurance. You can buy a LOT of condoms for that much $

Sam & Abby's Mom replied:
Thanks. It was negative. twice. LOL
I'm 40. It would have been a VERY unexpected surprise.

Celestrina replied: One is enough! Especially since my mom moved in with us.

Mommy2Isabella replied: Nope not done here either

Mollie - So sorry you having such a hard time. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

msoulz replied: No, at 44 it's just too late - not to mention the DH's big V!
