I said 'probably yes' but like Guster, I think it's closer to 'definitely'. DH has said he is open to discussing a third if it's something I really really want, but I don't know that I want it badly enough to pursue it. Two is a good number for us for a lot of reasons. Like jewels I also love the baby phase...That is what makes a third so tempting. But...le sigh...they inevitably grow up. My opinion doesn't matter but I think you should have a 3rd Ha, my mother too. She says we have such beautiful, wonderful babies that we shouldn't deprive the world of more. Lolz. She may just be the tiniest bit biased, though.

Like Guster I'm more towards "definite" but there has been no snipping. Why can't MH understand that real men get their balls snipped? And like dapostrophe if there were anymore it'd be down the road in a foster/adopt situation. Don't even get me started. I'm 4 weeks post surgery (I think it's been 4 weeks) and am still bitter that H wouldn't do it.

We both want a third, but we legit in survival mode right now with 2, so I have no idea how we would manage 3, or afford 3. I do love being pregnant and I think we make cute kids.

I think that something else that holds me back is the lack of help we have. And if we were to have a third, having three under five-ish I think I might require assistance.

This is where I wish I could gif to add the "nope octopus" gif.
We almost were OAD. Ben was a (wonderful) oops baby. I tried to get my tubes tied during the RCS but there was too much scar tissue. H is getting snipped, finally, in a few weeks.

I'm a probably yes. I likely won't have any more biological kids, but I would be open to a foster or adoption situation if one ever crossed my path. Same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't like being pregnant, don't like the baby phase.
Love the toddler/preschool phase. If I ever had more it would just be a nightmare beginning as I remind myself that the light at the end of the tunnel is when they start talking and become more independent.

I loved being pregnant the first three times but now that I run around all night with the others trying not to vomit, I'm done.

That would be hard but I have lost many nights sleep already thinking about how I will be doing kindergarten and college at the same time.

Hopefully we can have 2 more. I'd love the next two to be close in age but that all depends on how things play out.

I said probably yes. I always thought I would have 3, but I think two is way better for us for a number of reasons. I also don't like pregnancy and really don't want to have to do this again. We technically have 3 with my bonus daughter, even though she doesn't live with us. If I ever want a third, it will happen through adoption.

If scar tissue makes the bleeding risk too high, they abort mission. I was so sad when they couldn't do mine.

If this is the case for me, DH will have to get snipped or live a sexless life.

We're solidly OAD
It was hard for me to come to terms with at first, but I'm really happy with it now. My kid is easy which means my life is easy. I'm not fucking with that!

We'll (hopefully) have one more. It's always been the plan, although dh would be content with just 2. H has been a much more challenging baby than n which doesn't help, but I definitely still want one more. A part of me thinks it would be nice being done, but I came from 4 and dh from 2 and my family is way more fun . But really, I think of the fact that we will likely be grandparents longer than having kids at home so I want to maximize that potential too.

It's not letting me vote in the poll for some reason, but I'm most likely in the "definitely not" category.

We are definitely having at least one more. V was such a good baby that I'm ready for another now (she's 15 months) but daycare is expensive so we are going to wait at least another year.

I went from OAD to liking the idea of three. So I'm pretty open.

Can't vote since I'm on the app. But we want 1 more but then we are done. I don't want to be outnumbered. And if we can't have another then I'm ok with that too.

This is seriously my deciding factor. I can't give up travel!
