Our family will most likely be complete after this next baby is born. There is a super small chance (like 1%) that we might go for a third, but the more I think about it, I would be happy and fine with 2 kids.
I am a bit unsure. We know we want a 3rd (ttc now) but are unsure if we are going to go for a 4th after that. We will wait and see how child #3 turns out. We won't be doing any permanent BC for awhile, but right now I feel like I could be done after 3.
I don't think I will ever feel "certain." Even if we had four or five. I will always want another baby. I absolutely love having a baby in the house and the idea that someday I won't have one and all my kids will be big makes me pretty emotional.
I am pregnant with #3 right now and feel like this will make our family complete.
DH on the other hand is pushing for 4 kids. Considering #3 is going to make things super tight financially, I'm not sure what he is thinking. He'll be done with school in a couple years and will me making a big career switch, so I'm just waiting a few more years until that shakes out to convince him we are done.
We know we want another and when. The question is if after that will we have a 3rd? DH alone is probably at 1% wanting a 3rd. Right now I'm at like 60%. But we have to have #2 and make that transition before we spend time thinking of #3!
We have one of each....we are done. A third child would be too much for us. Every so often I get a thought of #3 but within about 5 seconds that thought is gone.

this. Leaving childbearing behind us very hard for me. If we had more money and time we would have a third

I'm pretty certain we are done, but leaving a little wiggle room in case our situation changes. Unexpectedly coming into money, family moves to town, I temporarily lose my mind, etc.

Not certain after #2. It made sense for practical reasons to be a family of 4, but our hearts pulled us to try for a 3rd. 99.9% sure we're done after this (unless we win millions in the lottery).
DH was still unsure if he wanted a third and I was very unsettled at the thought of being done after two. The minute the second line popped up I thouhght to myself, "yup. Done now." Obviously I cannot predict how I'll feel in the future, but I feel very at peace with our three kid family.

I am so glad I am not the only one that feels this way. I was beginning to think I was alone. Childbearing years are an exciting period in my life and I don't know when/if I will be ready to shut that door. And I love babies.
I don't know if we are "fairly uncertain" or "other". We both want more kids but don't know how many. When asked DH says "as many as we can", but there is no definition of "can". Definitely one more biological child then I guess we'll see what happens until we are done.
Very certain, my family is complete after this pregnancy. I'm having my tubes tied while they're in there for my RCS. This is based on several factors:
-we only want 2 kids. -only have space for 2 kids (car, house, budget) -having gestational diabetes with 2 pregnancies means *I'm* at like a 50% risk of developing Type 2 myself. I can't do it anymore. -almost AMA

Very certain our family is complete. I will never feel entirely emotionally done but that doesn't mean I want to raise another child. I am so complicated
Agh. I have a lot of feelings on this. Somewhat certain we're done. 3 would be financially so hard. But I want another squishy baby. And I want to see them as big sisters. Reality sucks.
I have really enjoyed being done. I'm celebrating all of DD2's milestones as our last. Have I mentioned we are done with diapers?! There is no.going.back.
