Uncertain, we want more but not sure how many. Also getting pregnant is difficult for us and the thought of having to do treatments again scares me. Ds was conceived after we had given up hope but we think we now know the issue, but if it came down to treatments to have more it would be some soul searching

I'm really not sure, we are both 70% done. Hard to say without knowing how life is with two. Two is appealing financial and for ease of cars, travel, ect. But there is that desire for 3... If it was a guarantee to be a boy I think dh would be all for it
Liked because it's the same for me! I'm not sure if what I'm dealing with is the real desire for another or just sadness over being done and putting this stage of life behind me. T
Yeah, I can't imagine having another. But I can't imagine NEVER having another.
I'm almost positive that we're done with two boys.
But I've said that with other things in life (I was positive we'd NEVER move back to where we are now) and had to eat my words, so I don't say it with 100% certainty.
If life goes according to MY plan, we're done with two. Only time will tell, I guess.
Not a clue. It's been hard for me to wrap my head around this being my last pregnancy/child despite the many pros in the "two and through" camp for our family. Every time we talk about it I agree we are done with two but then a few days later I start having doubt. It sucks.

Very certain. We always wanted three and I spent 2 months on strict bedrest and in and out of the hospital with severe pregnancy induced hypertension and was very close to the cut off for a pre-e diagnosis at the end of pregnancy with my third, so even if we had wanted more I would be done.
DH had a V when DS was 2 months old. I had also signed the papers so that if my VBAC had turned into a RCS they would have tied my tubes.
Somewhat certain. DH is more certain that this pregnancy will be our last child. I think it's probably the last too, but I'm just not ready to say it for sure. The thought of this being my last squishy newborn is both very sad and somewhat liberating. It's an odd feeling.
Fairly uncertain. I waffle back and forth between wanting to closely space my pregnancies so we can possibly have three and wanting to space them a bit so I can have time to enjoy DS's babyhood and savor another, final pregnancy.
My H is no help but I think he'd rather stop at two so we don't end up in the poorhouse.
We are undecided between one and two. I think we'll end up with two, but I'd really like to wait a long time before getting pregnant again. My body is not handling GD well (diet didn't control it and I've had to up my meds twice). Mainly I just wanted to be a mom and never really cared about how many, so I think I'll be happy with whatever decision we end up making.
Very certain that we are done. But I started sobbing tonight none the less talking to H about getting my tubes tied. The thought of never getting handed another newborn makes me so sad. But that's not another reason to have a baby. We feel like our family is complete.
Totally uncertain. I sometimes lean hard for 3. But I'll be 33 when hypothetical baby #2 is born, so we'd want to have #3 pretty quickly. I'm not sure I can handle it!

Very certain. Growing up I imagined having 2 kids. Getting married we planned on 2 kids. After L we planned on another. Now with A we both know we are done. I wouldn't mind being pregnant again, but I don't want another kid.
I had always thought I wanted 2 kids. I was totally surprised when we found out we were having twins. The first few months have been tough? But it's getting easier now. I was surprised that I've been having some twinges of baby fever the last few weeks. I think I'm a little sad at the idea of only getting to go through pregnancy and the newborn phase once. I'd always thought I would get to do it twice.
I chose somewhat certain. We know we definitely want one more, our family doesn't feel complete yet. And in the past, we thought we were certain that we would stop at 2. After having DD and seeing how much fun she is, DH would now also really like a boy, and has made mention of trying for more if #2 is another girl. I am open to 3, but no more than that. We'll see how things go!
I have no idea! We were together for 7 years (before marriage) and during wedding planning we both just kind of decided right after the wedding we wanted to try. I'm not sure how it came about one day we were both just like "yup we want one now". I am undecided on two, H wants another.
DH, OTOH, is totally fine with One and Done. We need to figure this out! DS will be in Pre-K next Aug - 2016 - so sometime around then is acceptable, monetarily speaking. :Y: That is our biggest hurdle. Can we afford a 2nd child?
