Plans on baby #2

[roxy562]

Any plans for baby #2 or another baby for the moms that already have more than 1 baby??? I'm not sure when to start planning  my 2nd. My hubby said when he turns 32 he doesn't want to have Babis no more. He just turn 26 and I'm 24.  I feel pressure with what he told me. I would love to have 4 kids. (if we're ok with money of course) 1 down 3 more to go lol but I would also like to give time for my body to rest in between babies. I feel like I have to pop them all at once. I'm only 24 I dont have time to have 3 more babies in such short time. I guess what bothers me the most is how he's giving me a time frame. I told him he's selfish!!! He has he's reasons and I understand them but I still think he's being selfish. Agree ladies?

Well my kids are just under 2 years apart - there birthdays are a month apart.  This is HARD WORK and I do have pnd but then I do not regret having them so close :)

That is awesome buying a house.  How is the housing market over there???  Is it picking up yet and have prices dropped significantly????

I guess I just feel pressure by my hubby and by TIME. Sometimes I just feel like I should get over it and start having all of them. Lol. But then I feel like taking my time and enjoying my Lil Emily. I think as soon as we buy a house next year we will start planning. Atleast that's the plan right now. I would really want my kids to all be around the same age and not too far apart.

How many years is good in-between kids?

Annabelle is 9 months and we were planning for an FET next summer. Now we aren't so sure. No idea when we will make that decision but I'll be 40 next year so if we don't go forward in the next 9 months, we probably never will.

I'm always ttc :) took 34 mints a miscarriage and fertility treatment to have Ellie so we started not preventing right away but I'm also breastfeeding so it may be a while ;)

I am getting too old! 38 in january.  If I was younger I would have some more.  Hubby says a big NO. Lol

I have twins and right now I am definitely NOT thinking about more kids! We did IVF, so we have 21 frozen eggs right now if we do decide in the future to have more. My only hesitation is my chance of more multiples. But, if we did contemplate having more, I think I would wait until the babies are at least 4-5 years old.

Umh I have no plans for anymore babies - 3 is enough for me plus hubby got a vasectomy so if I fall pregnant I will have some explaining to do :)

My hubby and I always decided we wanted 3 and that we wanted them close together.  We fell pregnant with our second (Caitlyn) when my first (Austin) was about 14 months.  We did try earlier but that didn't happen.  Austin and Caitlyn are 2 years apart.  

After we had Caitlyn we decided to have a third and then changed our mind and then changed our mind again until we finally decided.  We fell pregnant with (Ethan) my baby I miscarried first go.  We lost him at 14 weeks and I wanted to try again and my hubby reluctantly agreed.  With (Ella) my third we were only going to give ourselves 3 months because we didn't want our children more than 2 years apart.  We fell pregnant first hit.

Although I have pnd I have no regrets with having my babies so close together. They play and fight together but most importantly they do get along and I love that.  I can't wait till Ella is walking and she can chase them around the house as well.  My hubby and I refused to have kids after 30.  I am now 28 and we had my son (first) at 23.  Everyone has a personal preference but a nightmare for me would to have another when Ella was 5 - I know it is 99% impossible!!!!
