When do you plan to be KU again?

[laurack]

Obviously it doesn't always just happen when you want it to, but in an ideal world when would you like to be pregnant again?

[TrudyCampbell]

I voted first half of this year but I'm starting to get cold feet. I am so torn! It will likely take me a while to get pregnant buttt if it doesn't then I'm not sure I'm prepared to potentially have another baby in 2013! Eek!

[Regina Philange]

I am special Pregflake. I keep going back and forth between end of this year, or in two years. I want them close together, but the more i think about the more i think i will like a three year age difference. I keep going back and forth.

Me toooooo how do you decide!?

[mumegs]

I think more like 1 year from now, start trying when she's 2, but that seems kinda soon!! ahhh

[livinreality]

Um 2014? Is there an option for that? Because that would be one year... It could be sooner, It is not open for discussion until DS2 turns 1... Thinking a 2.5- 3 year difference and I may forget what a nightmare the first six months were for both my boys....

[laurack]

hmm I guess I was thinking of 2014 as being 2 years from now, then I realized it is now 2013! Darn silly me. Also why does pb not allow editing of polls?

[JuliaGulia]

I voted 2 years. We are going to discuss it more when that time comes though. It might end up being longer.

[raynes]

End of this year, beginning of next. Now that I'm the MOH in my step sis's wedding June 20th 2014, it's probably be ideal to be in the magical 2nd trimester.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

I need to work for at least 12 months before getting knocked up again; the money we German baby machines get is based on that income.

Sent from the future.

[muppetinma]

Depends on finances. We'd love to start trying now, but we're painfully under-employed.

[mala]

I voted 3 years. We may wait until b is in kindergarten though. The timing of #2 is dictated by finances, and DH is in the middle of a raise freeze, so unless he gets a promotion it will be years before we can afford #2.

I dunnnnno. I guess it also depends on if i feel my body is ready?! But then i think i am doing all this work to get back into shape just to do it all over again? Or just get it over with, then get back in shape? Damn bodies!

[ruby412]

I think I'm going to try to space the kids 3 years apart. I'm so not ready to go through all of that again!

Totally this.

[neverlosthope]

DONE.

[laurack]

I think we are planning for a 2 year gap, which means getting pregnant in july or august or thereabouts. At least we'll start trying then.

I go back and forth too though, between "she's so great! lets just get pregnant sooner!" and "OMG I'm exhausted will this baby ever STTN? I can't have another baby, I just can't do it".
Sigh.

[helicase]

We're going to start trying in September. Ideally, I would like 2 - 2.5 years between kids.

[The Foozzler]

I've actually been giving this some thought recently. April is a perfect month for me because I can take maternity into the summer and then not go back to work until September. I got 4 months off and never had to take unpaid time.

That would mean that I would have to start trying this summer. That is a big negative. By next summer I might be open to the idea. That would give me a 3 year spacing and put me 32 when I get KU and 33 when the LO arrives.

So summer 2014 is looking like it might be the time.

[katie]

We said we would only have 1 and that one took a couple years to get here. Now that I have her I have slight baby fever but DH is really on the 1 only train. I am going to be 38 in 2 months but ideally I would have liked to have them 2 or 3 years apart. So yea, I don't think I want to TTC at 40.

[fusion]

We'll start trying in June, but aren't really doing much to prevent except pulling out. I would love to start really trying now, but I need to wait b/c of back to back c-sections and we also have some house and financial goals to accomplish in the next 6 months.

[rjamz]

For me it will be when I get baby fever again, which I don't see happening for a while. When I see a newborn I don't go "ooh I want one" I go "phew, so glad I don't have one of those anymore." When that changes, I'll know it's time. My guess is 3-4 years

[katie]

Thanks Tamb

[Deleted]

In a few months. Probably around his birthday! I would do it now, but we are going away this summer and I can't be more than like, 5 or 6 months along in case I have another PTL scare and need to stick home.

[Deleted]

And I agree with Tamb, Katie. The new sig... aahh!! ADORABLE! I am so in love with her hair!

[Deleted]

SS - not sure, we keep going back and forth on #3. I think if we do it, it will be sometime in 2013.

Thanks! I remember Cam with his hat on looking all cute and it reminded me of that

[AndyCohen]

I don't know. We will start trying again April 2014 for sure. I kind of want to stop preventing April 2013 but DH is not on board. Now that we have A, I want three kids, H still wants two. If we have 3, I want to get moving and have them close together. If we're only having two, I'd like more time with just Audrey. DH kind of burst my dream bubble of getting out of NY and there is no way we could have more than two living here.

[eav2c]

This summer or as late as early next year!
