Depending what day this babe is born I will be done at 25 or 26 :) and very happy to be done so early
i got my sons at age 20 & 22, for now i am done...(my youngest is 6 months)
but think i will stopp at 35-37?
it depends on how long it will take to get my DG....
I had my first at 17 (obviously unplanned but he is the most amazing human being let alone CHILD that I know and it's a privileged to be his mother) I am now 25 and hopefully will have my 5th this November. Then the plan is to have a 6th in Feb 2016 when ill be 28. After that we aren't sure. If we feel complete we will stop, if we want more we will have more. However, I would love to be done by 35. Saying that nothing "perminent" will ever be done so really this is jut how I see it happening, but God knows if it will actually happen like that.
I hope to be done before 30. I'm 25 now!
I think by 37 or 38 but I am open to increasing my family up to the age of 40. I am a bit of a late starter compared to some on here as I am 31 on no 2 and will be having a 3 year break for extra studies after having this one.
I always said I'd be done by 28 but I'll be 31 when this one arrives. If DS2 had been a girl we would have been done when I said I would!
My mum was 33 when she had me and I always felt the bigger age gap was the reason we didn't click, so vowed I'd have my children younger. I'm realising now it was just our personalities.
I am hoping for around 30. I will be 28 when my third comes along and we always talked about four kids. Given I was 24, 26, and to-be 28, it seems feasible to have our fourth when I am 30. But I am not opposed to a slightly larger gap. I don't want to be past 33 though. It would make DH 35 and I don't want to have kids after that.
I am for sure done with this last little baby growing right now, so I will be 34 when I am done, but only a month shy of being 35! I just feel like I am ready for the next stage and to be out of the diaper stage and chasing toddlers! I'm tired lol!!!
I always wanted to be a young mom but to be honest i don't really care now. There are pluses and minuses to having kids at any age and i know some fab moms in their early 20's and some great mom's in their mid to late 40's, i think it more depends on the individual and whether you feel you are done. I say it alot on here but i really do think you get the family you need not the one you think you want and all moms know when they are done.
For me i had ds1 at 22 which was not planned and for a long time i only wanted one (although before him i wanted a big family), DH wanted more and ds1 grew i changed my mind. We had ds2 when i was 26 and i knew i wanted another - i wanted my son to have a brother and i wanted a daughter, we got ds2, an amazing addition to our family. I was 28 when i had ds3 (my failed sway) and although i had big gd at the time he was mean't for us and adds so much to our family but i always wanted the chance at another. I thought for a while we were done at 3 as our boys grew and bonded together but the desire for a daughter grew and i wanted another baby. This little one will be born in June, hopefully if all goes well (and we are pretty sure its a little girl although it still seems surreal) - if she arrives and is ok i'm pretty sure we will be done but am open to the possibility of one more. I never wanted 4 children but i wouldn't give any of them back, they are my world and i am so in love with them all and happier than i thought possible. So i may be done at 31, i may not........
My advice to any mom would be if you want another and you can cope then go for it, you hear it said a lot on here but i truly have never heard of anyone regretting one of the children they had but i do know people who always wished they had more but time/money/age stood in the way.
I started early the original plan was 2 kids before 25 then done!
Well ds2 was a boy so then came ds3 then we said ok 1 more but if it dosn't happen before 30 no more!!
Well that kind of went wrong side up so now I am a few cycles off 30 and hoping to be finished before I turn 31....so still in the same year as 30 I told dh that still counts here is hoping it is twin girls cause I know once I have one I will want another!! I am suck a baby person and so so clucky.....
My cut off was always 35, due to the increased risks of chromosome abnormality after that. So I have two more years to try for my last girl.
I always said I would be done having kids by 25. I will be 25 in June. I am pretty much sure if this is a boy or girl we will be done. DH thinks we will have one more.
I always said I would be done by 30, well I am now 33 soon to be 34 and we'll hopefully be having our last baby by the time I'm 35/36. Much later than I had planned, but that's okay! :)
Hi girls I always wanted 3 kids had my first @ 32 , 2nd @ 34 and my 3rd @ 41 1/2 . I would love to have another one but I think age is catching up with me
30 years will be my cut off point. I've got five years left then - I don't know why that is, I've just always said I didn't want children after I was 30! Hopefully I can cram two more into those 5 years, but only if the next one hurries up and sticks already ;)
I was 16 when I had DS1, 19 with DS2, 26 with DS3 and I'm 29 now....
I would've been done DONE if I had a DD for my second, I would've been Done but thankful I didn't have a DD with my ex..... But either way I knew in my heart 30 was my age cut off. I was married at 16 and divorced by 20. I gave myself 10 years to see where life was to take me... And it brought me to my wonderful DH and two more beautiful babies :)
I always said that I wanted to be done by 30 but since DS2 (due in August) was a boy we play to try once more for a girl so most likely I will be done by 31ish. I am gonna be 29 in October.
I always said 30.
Had my first at 22 second at 24 and im 27 this year when we start ttc again.
Just depends on how long that will take.
If its a boy, even though I'm not 100% I'd like more the option of HT in the far far future is there. That will be more than likely after the age of 30. We've always wanted to see the US, so will make it a proper family trip and see a few places before heading back to Cali for HT IF that comes around.
35 would be the best age. Scientifically it is not good to conceive babies after 35 years. Medical researchers have revealed that delivering babies after 35 will cause disabilities.
I was 21 with my first, I really didn't have an end date lol but I am 33y now with my last child, so 33y is when I become infertile lol
I have always said at 30 and as of now I'm still sticking to this :)
After this baby so 36:)
