Vasectomy or more babies?

My husband and I are pretty positive we are one and done. He is planning on getting a vasectomy soon even though our son is 8 months old. We are so so happy with our 1 boy! Moms of onlys what do you love about it and what do you dislike about it? And moms of multiple kids sell me on the idea of having multiple! Am I missing anything by only having one?

I only have one rn and absolutely love it. I’d be fine with her. I’d be fine with more. Aren’t vasectomies reversible? If so, get it and if y’all are SURE on more later - undo it and get to work

My husband is one and he wants me to have 3 babies 🫠. I am one of ten so if it was up to me I’d have one but my husband always says he wishes he had siblings. So for that reason I hope to be blessed with 2 more.

Just as a friendly reminder: vasectomies are not a guarantee you won’t get pregnant (yes it reduces the likelihood but I know several people who got pregnant after their husband had the procedure). It’s also generally reversible. So you could: 1. See if fate blesses you with another 2. Change your mind and reverse the procedure later on But do what you think is best! I was an only child and I longed for a sibling BUT I also loved my life

I'm a mom of 3! 8, 6, and 3. My advice to anyone would be 2 kids and don't get pregnant until baby #1 is 3-4 years old

we have the one and idk if ill have another hes 5 weeks old my pregnancy was hard high risk and my recovery was rough with a csection as of now i dont want to go through pregnancy again i wish i could get the baby without the pregnancy🤣🤣 but the idea of never having another baby makes me so sad i love my baby so much and i want him to have a sibling and i love being a mom. i just dont think i can say ill never want another one and im so young 21 right now we are using condoms. its your choice and his choice if he wants the procedure im bot doing birth control because it messed me up hormonally and my man doesnt want a vasectomy so condoms it is

Im an only child and never not once wished for a sibling. & im dead serious on having only one. I think life is to expensive nowadays and I want to give her the very best.

I'm having few kids, cause I was the only child and I hated it, felt very lonely. Was always jealous (and I still am) of my friends having a sibling, as I don't really have any close relatives and not great relationship with my mother. My husband has lots of siblings and they always visit each other, I find it amazing and want the same for my kids.

Personally I love that my son will be able to have all of my attention and resources.

I had my first son at 19 and absolutely loved the fact that all my attention and experiences were shared with him but I hated the fact that sometimes I felt like he was lonely due to not having family / cousins around to grow up with like I did even though now that he’s older he tells me he loved being an only child as now he’s the oldest of 3 😂. His second brother is 3 and his youngest brother is 2 months. I’m really looking forward for the younger two to be able to grow up together and not only have shared experiences with their parents but also with each other. It also brings a peace of mind that all three will have one another as adults as I don’t know what I would do without my sisters (I’m 1 of 5).
