Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

We'd like 3. I'm 29 now and would like to be done, or at least pregnant with #3, by 35. I have no idea what it will be like raising #1, but I'd ideally like to start TTC #2 in the summer or fall of 2010. I'd prefer that there be no more than 3 years between each.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

Prob 2... I'm already in my early 20's. Plus, I have 5 nieces and nephews to play with just from my sister. I see how she juggles... insane!

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

Probably 3. I wouldn't mind having 4, but DH is fine with 2 so we've compromised at 3. DD#1 will be about 3.5 when this baby is born. Well probably plan about 2.5- 3 years between #2 & #3.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

We plan on 3. DS and this baby will be 13 months apart , so we will probably space the last one out to be born when DC # 2 is 3 or so.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

2 and I would like them to be less than 2 yrs apart.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

After my twins we would like 2 more....total of 4....we will probably wait until the twins are 3ish to try again.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

This is our 2nd and last unless we adopt. At 38, I feel blessed to have two healthy children. We are considering adopting an at-risk child though in the future. My DD and this child will be 2 years and 1 month apart.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

We would like to have 2, but the jury is still out on it. I had problems getting pregnant and I don't know if I'm going to have go back on fertility treatments again. DD will be born a month before my 36 birthday, so age is a factor. I also want to wait a year after she's born before we start trying again. Tomorrow I go for my check up so I'll have those question ready for my ob.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

We are having a girl now...if the next is a boy we will stop...

if we have two of the same sex, we will possibly go for the third- if finances are in the right place...

Ideally, I would like the babies 3 years apart.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

Since I couldn't get pregnant on my own, this is all wishful thinking...lol
I would like 4 kids. 2 boys and 2 girls.
Each 2 to 3 years apart. So basically have this one at 28, next one at 30, next one at 33 and then the next one at 35 or 36. But like I said wishful thinking...lol

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

I want 2 and I want them a few years apart - I am not emotionally ready for another one right now. My sanity is more important then how far apart they are in age.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

we would love to have 4
DD will be just under 16 mos when #2 arrives
We want them all to be pretty close in age

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

we were just discussing this last night...we both want 2-3, i had a rough pregnancy with m/s the whole 9 months if my next pregnancy is the same, then we will stop at two regardless of boy or girl. If it is better and we have another boy, we would prob try for #3. DS is 15 months, we would like to start TTC #2 in the spring, so ideally they will be around 2.5-3 years apart. If we have a 3rd we will wait till #2 is around 2.5 (I want my DS to be in kindergarten already before going for a 3rd)

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

we want 4, planning on having them 2-3 years apart, can't wait for our 1st to get here

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

I'd love to have 4, a year or two apart...

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

This is our second, 10 years apart!! (My DS is from a previous marriage) if my DH and i have another, itll be within two years..but it took alot for me to get PG with this one..and i have a boy and a girl now, so im happy where we're at..

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

I want at least 3 kids, so probably 3-4 kids and I want them 2-2.5 years apart.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

DH wants 5

I'm done with just DS

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

We had several rounds of IVF and are blessed to be having twins. 2 will be enough for us, I really don't want to go through this again....

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

definitely 2. DD will be exactly 2 when#2arrives(I'm due on her birthday!), and then we are done - exactly how we wanted it.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

I'd like 3, DH would be happy w/ 2. We'll see how this one goes. We did IVF so if we need to go that route again I have 4 frozen embies so we'd put two back. At that point I'd be happy with whatever we get (single or twins) and probably wouldn't go through it again after that. Ideally I'd like them to be 2-2.5 years apart.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

I hope I will be blessed with one more making the total 2. I would like them to be 3 years apart.

Re: how many kids do you plan to have? how far apart?

3.

DC#1 and this baby will be a few months shy of 4yrs

I would like #3 to be about the same- maybe closer to 3yrs apart.

I use to want 4, but I dont think financially we'd be able to swing it...
