What she said

[cosmicav]

I am currently very pregnant lol

36 weeks on Tuesday and almost officially MORE PREGNANT than I ever have been because #1 was born at 35 weeks. I'm excited about that I'm due the last day of February and we are team GREEN!

We ideally want more (like 3-4 total) but nothing has been officially decided. I have always wanted 4, but reality might have different plans for us!

[bethypoo83]

Tenant-free ute over here. Contemplating renting it out soon. Maybe spring.

[robotpcr]

We'll be TTC in May.

[amylee545]

Currently empty ute. We're NTNP currently... I thought after our loss in november that we'd be trying hardcore now, but we're in no rush. If it happens, great... if not, great. We definitely want 1 or 2 more but again, we're in no rush.

[smilesp]

Planning to start TTC this summer. April/May/June 18 is the goal.

My gynecologic oncologist says we should move our asses if we want another, so we might be looking at trying to conceive in 3 months instead of Fall 2018. If he confirms with the pathologist that I just have some seriously weird but harmless cells, as was reported, that is, and as long as ultrasounds and biopsies look good in 3 moths. So we're hoping for that happy confirmation this week. It's a big surprise that it's such a hopeful diagnosis (even for the doc), so I think we are still reeling from the possibility. And from the idea of adding another whirlwind to our shit cyclone around here.

Currently vacant with no listings yet. Part of me wants more children, but I'm hesitant because of the daycare expense. I'm really happy with life right now and I don't want to add anything more.

I think we'll re-evaluate when L is in preschool.

Due with another girl July 6th. First tri was rough, but second tri has been totally fine. I forget I'm pregnant most days now. When asked where baby sister is W pats her own belly, haha.

Not KU.

The earliest we would TTC is this fall to make E at least 3 when a baby comes.

Recently I've been thinking though that we might wait until next summer (2018). My job is highly seasonal and the # of patients I see impacts my salary. Our busiest time is Dec-April. Ideally I wouldn't be on maternity leave during that time. Also my H gets a little bit of time off during the summer. I don't think I'm ready to yet TTC this summer so next summer would probably work better. We conceived in August for our May baby and she came at a great time for both of our jobs.

My H is older than me by 13 years and he is anxious about waiting too long but I told him that I'm the one who has to be pregnant and do the bulk of the work when the baby is itty bitty. He ultimately will defer to me but he is ready to try anytime.

Also childcare is fucking expensive. If E was almost 4 when a new baby came, she would be eligible for VPK pretty soon after which is free in our state (for a certain # of hours). That would definitely help.

TL;DR- TTC Maybe this fall but more likely summer 2018 because I'm a crazy stupid planner and feel like that would be best for our schedule... which means the universe will probably use those thoughts to thwart me LOL.

Ideally I definitely want another one but some days all I can think about is how we are finally in kind of a good place and how adding another one might screw with that.

I have spoken pretty openly about my feelings of TTC. To be honest MH and I considered having my IUD taken out in March. However we are going to a Zika infected area in two weeks so I think we are going to delay it for six months. That being said, I am still struggling with the idea of having another. I want G to have a sibling. But I also love the idea of having just her and not having to give my attention to another child. I also don't want a c section. There is nothing wrong with them but I don't want to pick my child's birthday or have surgery.

[emu0013]

We are done, I had my tubes tied after LO, per my OB as pregnancy and I don't mesh well.

Lyfe twins!

Currently knocked up with baby #2, team pink again, due June 9th.  C-Section tentatively scheduled for June 5th.  DH and I are both on the fence about #3.  He was previously a hard no, but has come around.  We agreed to enjoy this pregnancy and baby as if it's our last time around.  We will reassess when this baby is close to one.

[jezebk]

DH is an emphatic NO for a third child. I always wanted to have 3 so I am struggling with stopping at 2. I thought it might be possible to wear him down but he is very stubborn right now. I do love my little family of 4 and love the connection between my kids so that makes me happy. I just feel like we are missing one.

[Deleted]

Recently vacant with a 10 day old squish in my arms! I think it's going to stay that way. I was on the fence about a third and the RCS and a BP scare a few days ago kind of solidified that. Please someone remind me of this if I ever say I want another 😂 I think MH will have the V in the not too distant future.

This was us exactly. DH was a hard no for a long time. Some one told him, you might regret not having a 3rd but you will never regret having a kid. I think that is what pushed him to my side. Ds really completes our family. I no longer have that feeling that someone is missing.

That's a good way to put it.  Dh and I worry a lot about the logistics and money with having three kids.  I feel like people would be wayyyy less willing to help out and watch them if there are three versus two.  I also have to think they don't stay little forever and DD1 would be around four if baby #3 were to ever happen.  So starting Kindergarten in the immediate future, that would leave only 2 in daycare.

I was 100% done. 100%. But I'm currently seeing someone who makes me think that I'd be open to the possibility of one more if the right person came along. Can't believe I'm saying that! lol

[Poppy]

Nothing happening in there right now. We want more but haven't really nailed down a timeline. Originally it was two years apart but we've obviously passed that now. We don't really have enough space for two but I know I want more. H and I talk about another much more often than we have in the past year. We shall see.

Pregnant with my second daughter. Quite pregnant actually. Due February 7th, so I'm 38+6!

This is our last. This pregnancy has been extremely hard on my body, and I honestly have my hands full. I will be getting an IUD ASAP. DH is 100% wanting only 2. I would love a third if money wasn't an issue, we had an extra bedroom, and if my body didn't hate me basically the entire time I was pregnant.

I got a mirena after DD1 so I will get another one to buy us time to decide. We can't do 3 in daycare, so once DD1 is in kindergarten, we will decide either way. Plus I am 32 so we don't want to wait forever if a third is in the picture. Who knows?

We are both curious to see how two goes. W sometimes laugh about the fact that once we have two we might just be like "nope, I'm good with this". I feel like only time will tell if our family is complete. Three in daycare would be a bitch, bit we could do it short term. Plus I'm really hoping my mom actually retires soon, but who knows. The nice thing with dh schedule is we currently only need 2-3 days of daycare a week.

#2 is due on July 2. First Tri was a miserable bitch. I had to start taking my vitamin at night so I wouldn't be nauseous all day long. I should be finding out in February what team we are on.

Our daycare situation just got murky. Our original sitter passed away over the weekend due to a 7 year battle with cancer. Her caretaker still wants to watch G and our new little one, but needs time to grieve. Thankfully my h works second shift and not every night, so we are saving money...for now. We would like to have a huge family, but that costs money.

LT for being pregnant.

[honda13]

I still cry sometimes about the one I miscarried. I think it's extra difficult because my bff is due three days before I would have been. It's just a constant reminder of where I would have been in that pregnancy. Then I feel like shit mourning that baby, because we got pregnant right away and here I am at 21 weeks. I guess all that to say I didn't expect to be dealing with all these feelings still. It gets easier, but it doesn't go away.

I had a friend who was due 2 days after the one that I miscarried.  I was bitter towards her my whole pregnancy with M.  Same thing, I got pregnant again quickly.  Being pregnant again doesn't mean you didn't still want the other pregnancy though.  It definitely does get easier.  At this point I rarely think about it.

This is something I am really struggling with lately. I always thought I wanted at least 3 children. But now that F is here, I am content with just being his mama. He is very attached and while a pretty easy kid, he's just a handful and rambunctious! We have gotten into this routine as a family of 3, and it's hard to want to mess with something that is going so well. We have both sets of grandparents very close by and always ready to babysit. Adding even one more would change the dynamic of everything so much.

So I'm trying to reconcile my feeling of content and fear of the unknown with my long time desire for multiple children. I think we will have a serious and hard discussion this summer.
