Re: Those who are DONE having kids
I don't necessarily like being pregnant. In fact, i HATED being pregnant  I have 2 year old twins, and a 5 month old and although i had rough pregnancies for both (moreso with the twins) i would do it again. I did have my tubes tied after #3 came along because i knew i did not want and still do not want anymore kids. But yes, I do miss the thrill of seeing that line, and waiting to meet my baby and having a newborn in the house again. My 5 month old is growing so fast and i do get sad about it. But i am DONE

I am good. I had difficult pregnancies, and complications that lasted for a long time after delivery. My health has suffered. I have no problems giving away my kids clothing when it no longer fits. While I love babies, and nothing beats those open mouth O kisses, I like being able to sleep through the night, fitting into a normal car, not worrying about how 5 will fit into a hotel room, or our home. I am good. If an accident happened, we would welcome it with open arms, but I am done. My DH is done done. He absolutely does not want another at all.
This pretty much exactly. It takes my body at the minimum a year to recover from childbirth and I feel terrible during that time. I have to have IVF to get pregnant and c-section to deliver. I hate everything about that. There is a small part of me that wishes I would have an "accidental" BFP just because of how hard it was for us to get pregnant, but the reality is that I would not be excited about anything beyond the actual BFP. DH is getting a vasectomy and I couldn't be happier. I love that my family is complete, I got my boy and girl, I have no regrets and definitely feel done now.

Re: Those who are DONE having kids
No. Not this time around, I am not sad at all!
I was done after #2. They were getting older, in school, more independent. Life was good and DH and I were moving forward and making plans. But after #2, *I* never lost that want for one more. While I accepted that we were done at two, I never closed the book on #3.
When my kids were 5 and 7, DH and I had just gone through 2 years of several life changing events.... It made us appreciate what we had and also reconsider life down the road. We let ourselves be open to a few things, and I was pregnant before I could even think twice.
Now, completely and without a doubt, we are done and I have no lingering feelings that something is missing, like I did after the first two. Not to mention I am 40 and don't think my body can handle another pregnancy.

Re: Those who are DONE having kids

Re: Those who are DONE having kids
I would say I am done with mourning the fact the fact that it is not in the cards for me to have a second child. But the wish will never ever to away.

Re: Those who are DONE having kids
NO!!! I have NO DESIRE to be pregnant at all or have anymore children.
The only thing i miss a little was the excitment of getting the smiley face when ovulating...and the excitement of seeing those two lines when finally preggo......but really i don't ever want to see those lines again.
Sometime i do lurk on TTC, because getitng a BFP is very exciting when u really want that baby. It's nice to see when people post about a BFP!

Those who are DONE having kids
I'm one and done. At least I would like to be. I was a terrible pregnant person and had soooo many health issues with it. I am so afraid to get pregnant for this reason.

I definitely don't want anymore kids, but sometimes I am sad that all of that is behind me, and I will never get to experience it again.
I feel like this sometimes & I'm definitely done. I don't actually miss being pregnant AT ALL, but sometimes it saddens me that that stage of my life is over and now it's just time for us all to get older together, kwim? That time is marching on, so to speak...

YES! I would love to be preggers again, but I can NOT have anymore kids. I will go insane!
I have 2,unexpectedly got pregnant a 3rd time, didn't stick...I was on the fence about trying again, but this, exactly, is the reality.

Re: Those who are DONE having kids
In an ideal world, I would, but it is hard enough being a working mom of two, dealing with babysitters, kids getting sick and taking sick time, and missing them sooo much! Also, my kids had terrible colic, and my pregnancies were difficult, so I don't want to go through it again. If I was a stay at home mom, I would probably do it though.
