How did you decide you were DONE having kids?

Question

I have two kiddos, L will be 4 in August and S will be 2 in July. 
I’m 32, husband is 35, so I feel like I really need to decide relatively soon if we are done done or not. 
I’ve always liked the thought of having 4 kids, buuuuut oh my god are kids expensive. We also live very far from family and reliable help. 
I had two very easy and healthy pregnancies, so a part of me is like, one more time will probably be fine before I’m 35, right? 
But at the same time… do I really wanna go through the baby stage again? I find babies SO difficult. 
How did you decide? 😅

Answer

I had my 3rd at 36 and 4th at 38. I imagined my family 5, 10, 20 years from now....imagined holidays etc. The benefit of a big family outweighed the inconveniences for me.

Answer

I was going through this a while back I’m 36 going on 37 I started having my kids at 32 I have a 4 year old a 2 year old and a 5 month old for a good min I wanted one more but I’m good, I hate the baby stage myself and my kids are a lot at times and with me going on 40 in a few years I’m good on having more, now my debate is removing my tubes or getting the copper iud, I will say this my third is by far my most difficult baby but I’m glad with 3 I truly believe 4 would of been a bit much for me in the end!

Answer

I'm 32 and on my 3rd pregnancy. I have a boy just turned 3 and a 21 month old boy, 3rd boy brewing. We always wanted a big family, 4-5 kids. I'm just not sure if I have it in me to keep up with the kids and be pregnant at the same time. We really want a daughter and will keep trying for her but part of me wants to be done now. The other part cannot imagine not having more children.

Answer

I’m 26 my husband is 27, we have one of each and with the prices and struggles in todays world I don’t want anymore. I just know honestly. I can’t see myself with anymore and neither can my husband. My husband just got a vasectomy.

Answer

We have a 3 and half year old and 18 month old. Honestly after 2 kids, I felt myself running out of patience.  Lol sounds funny but it's true. Babies take alot of energy and patience and after my 2 boys I don't have much more to give to a third so we decided we are done.

Answer

I'm 31 and I'm exhausted. I have 3 kids under 5yo. This age range is so hard for me and I can't wait til they are all school age. I definitely don't want to start over with a newborn and sleepless nights again.

Answer

My oldest are 15&13 (16&14 in a couple months). I'm due in 3 weeks. 
I still don't know if I'm done 😂 pre/teenage years have been the hardest for me so far.

Answer

I would just maybe say sit with it for a while and see how you feel in the next few years, you have plenty of time! My husband and I have 2 a boy and a girl and after my daughter we swore we were DONE And my husband got a vasectomy. 4 years later we payed for a vasectomy reversal and I trying for number 3 hahaha

Answer

I’m 25 years  old and I’m pregnant with my third child. My son is 4, my daughter is 1.5. And honestly I want to get my tubes tied because I’m burnt out and I’m about to be even more burnt out when this little one is born. I want to get my tubes tied because I don’t want to be on birth control for the rest of my life. I’m over it. Maybe if I spaced out, when I was having kids it would of been easier, but the fact that they’re young is driving me crazy. I can’t handle another pregnancy after this. I am done. 😭
