prime time
Is there a certain age you want to be finished having children by?
I agree @vicbrowm. I always said i didn't want kids until at least 30. I had my son at 32. I'm surprised that so many want to have children while very young, instead of getting a chance to enjoy life, finish their education, and establish a career and stable living situation.
I'm done at 30! I wanted a large family and have like 5 children but I'm on number two now and I need to be realistic lol. Both my husband and I want our children to have a good life and be able to do after school activities and sports so we know that can be expensive. I am currently pregnant with a boy and we already have my daughter. MAYBE I can squeeze another one by the 30 age limit but we will see I'm exhausted and number two isn't even here yet lol
30. The older I got though it was less about my age and more about the number of kids we wanted. We wanted 3. No more. I had our oldest at 23 and twins at 27. We have 3 dds and for a moment contemplated trying for a boy. However, after DNA testing on our twins to find out they are identical, plus my genetics, that solidified it for us. We are done! It was so nice to go through baby clothes the other day and not get this pang of wanting another!
Well, I had my first at 22, almost 23 yrs old and always wanted to be done by 28.
Life didn't work that way, I remarried and my husband and I are about to have our son....and I'm 34! Lol I also haven't committed to being done yet. Maybe 1 more but it would have to be within the next 2 years.
I had my first with 34, due with my second now at 36 and if we do decide to have a third, I want to be done by 40.
A lot of women here in Germany actually start having kids in their early 40's. I personally feel like I have so much less energy than when I was in my 20's, I can't imagine starting in my 40's ?
I always said 30, I'm turning 25 in march so to think my prime time is literally closing in on me is insane. I want 1-2 more babies, I say my new cutoff age is 31. Give me 6 years to have one or two more.
SO and I agreed to be finished now.
I'm 21 and he's 22. We're really young but we have 2 now.
I can't get my tubes tied here because of my age so I've decided to go on Mirena for a few years until I get to the recommended age then I'll get it done. I believe doctors here won't do it until you're at least 24?
I want(ed) to be done by 30. We are having our third and last in 12 days and I will turn 31 one month after that. This is our third in 2 1/2 years and I'm getting my tubes taken out during this csection.
Financially, three makes sense for us. We have cattle ranches to run besides the three kids. And I'm ready to be done being pregnant forever.
My cut off was always 30.
I'm 27 right now and have 2 kids a boy and a girl. I struggled for a while debating if I wanted another by SO and I decided that 2 is the best number for our family and everything we want to do.
I also lost almost 60 pounds.
I would like to get a tubal after the summer.
SO and I were just talking about this the other day. I wanted to be done by 30 and let dd have siblings close in age but that isn't going to happen and I'm actually bummed. We're going to start trying when I'm around 32 and be done by 35ish. My dd will be around 9 when we start trying and I cringe at that age gap but he will not budge.
My number was 30. I wanted to be done being pregnant. I'm currently pregnant with number 3 and am 26. We also decided financially 3 was plenty for us. I wanted my children graduated by the time I'm 50 so my husband and I can downsize and do more traveling together sooner rather than later.
I always wanted to be done before 30. I ended up unexpectedly pregnant at 17 and as it turns out that will be my one and only baby.
Im definitely looking forward to spending my 40s relaxing and traveling!
