This is my fifth pregnancy, we are still hoping for this pregnancy to be successful and result in our second child. If we get a baby this time it will be our last and my husband will schedule a vasectomy after baby is born and we know that all is well. He'll be 39 shortly after baby's due date and doesn't want to start over again in a few more years. I want to have the chance to be a surrogate if I choose to someday so all my parts will stay intact.

We have said that this is teh last one for me.  Its not the pregnancy part that is my issue it is the getting pregnant.  I don't think i can do the fertility treatments again and I only did the meds not shots or IVF.  its just to mentally exhausting for me.  So we decided that if for whatever reason I have to have  a section done then I'll get my tubes tied but if everything goes as it did with our first he will be getting snipped.

This is it for hubby and I :-( . I am 34 years old and would love to have a gazillion babies but the hyperemesis was too much in my first pregnancy and even worse this time around...there have been a few times that we didn't think that I would even survive. I had my first baby..a girl in july 2013 and now I'm preggers with my 2nd baby and due Feb 2015...a boy. I truly thank God for both of them since doctor's had painted soooooo  many strikes against me and said that I'd never have children and wasn't a good candidate for fertility options..."but God....won't he do it"....I ended up getting naturally pregnant and the second baby happened in less than a year with no effort. Needless to say, this is a tough decision but necessary to make sure that this is the last baby we have and since it's too emotional of a topic for me...hubby has already been proactive and decided to take the "snip hit" instead of me...even though I'm getting a cesarean and it would be a quick 5 minute process according to my obgyn.  Hubby has already went for his consultation,  got his meds and is scheduled to get snipped dec. 1st :-( .  Nonetheless,  I am forever grateful for my all natural and healthy miracle babies, so, I won't be greedy...lol.

Congrats to all and best wishes!!!

I am 26 and husband 27...I have 2 boys and a baby girl on the way (2 days overdue T_T, she will be my last one and my husband will be the one who will be fix/vasectomy cause he thinks is too painful for female to get tubes tied, plus he always said you did the hard work birth and pregnancy  so the least i can do for you is get the vasectomy, wich i am glad!!!

This is my 3rd and last. After 2 girls I finally got my little boy. My hubby is still trying to convince me to go on birth control but he knows we are good with our little 3 angels.

We are having our second little girl. I don't want to be done but my SO does :/ he's getting fixed after I have her and it makes me sad but it can be reversed. I've always wanted a lot of kids,he never wanted any till he was like 35. I'm 20 and he's 24.

My husband and I had decided previously on 2 only and right now I'm on my 2nd pregnancy. But now I feel I want just one more but maybe in 5 more yrs. The thing is Im 25 and my husband is 30, he doesn't want to be 50 and have a teenager still because he sees how much my mother in law struggles with his 17 yr old sister. But if we have another too soon we might end up needing food stamps and what not and I don't want that. I believe if we bring children into this world is because we know we can afford the costs that come with raising them and yeah sometimes things go south and you  might need help but it should only be temporary while you get your self back up. I get annoyed with those people who have one kid after another and have been on welfare since the first one. Like really if you can't afford to raise one or 2 children then why do you keep having kids. So I don't know we'll see what happens eventually.

Definitely not our last we are 25 and have a 2yr old boy and expecting a baby girl in December we can definitely afford 2 more. So after this baby girl I'm definitely not using birth control and just put it in the hands of God to see when he decides to bless us again with more babies
