How many babies until you stop trying for girl/boy?

I have 2 boys & we’re trying for #3 now we are happy to have babies but would really love a girl too. How long did you try and what was your stopping point?
Not sure if I would be able to handle more than 3 kiddos

I ended up with one boy and one girl but if I'd had another boy I would have stopped then. Three seems like a lot of work to me, haha.

We weren't trying for any specific gender, though I was disappointed I wouldn't get another girl after this pregnancy ended up being a second boy. Love my son! No regrets but I'll miss girlhood too at this stage of being a momma. I just accepted that I needed my sons more than I needed a daughter and honestly it's been healing in its own way 💜

I have friends who TRIED desperately for years to have a boy and are now 4 girls deep and DONE because the odds are against them and those girls are a MESS lol.

Do what works best for you, mama! Only you know what level of crazy you can handle, and maybe that makes grandbaby of that gender relationship that much more special when it comes? 🙏🏼

At any rate, for whatever disappointment I've had for gender once they're here you know they're exactly who you needed in the end.

Do you have an IUD?

Do you like it? If you don't would you ever consider getting one?

Trying for a second

I thought I’d feel ready to try by now (aiming for a 2.5-3 year age gap) but I still very often have days with my son where I think ‘HOW would I do this pregnant/with a newborn/looking after two kids’. E.g. when he has a tantrum in public, or when he’s poorly or is up loads in the night. Some days are still SO hard and that makes me think I’m not ready. But do you ever feel ready??

I also worry about dividing my time/love/resources between two children. How do you give everything x2?

Maybe I’m overthinking. Any advice from mums with 2 or more children already would be appreciated!
