How many children do you want? 3 Ideally a boy first, but heck, anything right now
Any names yet?Yup but I'm not telling
What will your work situation be? I'll take 2 months maternity leave, then go back to part time - maybe 3 days a week
At home mum or nursery? I'd love nothing more than to be a stay at home mum, but with car and house payments who can afford to these days?
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)?Shortly there after! Not waiting this long again, probably when little one is around 6 months old.

How many children do you want? 2 (twins) if not 3
Any names yet? Joslyn Samantha & JC Johan Cristian*named after his late brother CJ*
What will your work situation be? I will take maternity leave for 5months and go back to work, in our country you can't survive on only one salary
At home mum or nursery? I will be with baba for 5months and then off to the nursery, makes them not so attached to my hip and gives them some independance and friends.
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? I am hoping for twins as then im done but if one by one comes we will space them 2years apart atleast get the one off the nappies.

This was a nice thread

Cool thread Trixie!

How many children do you want? I've always said 4... I think hubby only wants 2... we'll see...
Any names yet? Ryan; stuck for girls names, how weird!
What will your work situation be? I'll take maternity leave for 6 months (4 mat leave, 1 holiday and 1 unpaid holiday) and then back to work P/T, probably 60%
At home mum or nursery? See above... both! And the mother in law, since my mum is stil in Canada...
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? Good Lord, what a thought! But given how long its taking, probably when baby is 9-12months...

oh, and I WAS in some weird way sure I would get pg this month... Doesn't seem its meant to be, so hopefully between July and September (that'll be a year of trying..!)

How many children do you want? 5 children (OH already has 1)
Any names yet? Cassie for a girl, Chase for boy ....not sure though
What will your work situation be? I'll take maternity leave for a year. not sure what pay i get but its quite good here.
At home mum or nursery? going to train to be a nursery assistant soon so hopefully by then i'll be able to work in a nursery full time with my LO there
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? cant even think about that yet......


Thanks hun - good thread xx

I am hoping I will fall pregnant in the next couple of months as have conceived easily previously with my m/c

How many children do you want? 3 (would love twins in that)
Any names yet? Frankie for a boy and Aaliyah for a girl
What will your work situation be? 4.5 months full pay and then probably take a further couple of months statutory
At home mum or nursery? Will go back to work p/t and hopefully grandparents will assist
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? Probably wait a couple of years so can get married in between bouts of TTCing

We've been trying since Oct 2004 so the likelihood of it happening naturally for us is very slim. Should start first attempt at IVF at the end of this year and hopefully one will be all it takes...

How many children do you want? 2 or 3 - would ideally like a set of twins.
Any names yet? Too many to mention. Quite like jasmine or olivia for a girl, and harry or austin for a boy. Lots more names have been mentioned too.
What will your work situation be? I'll take 6 months maternity leave and then go back to work. Not sure if I'll work full time or part time - my job is such that i could work 3 long days and still get pretty much a full time salary.
At home mum or nursery? Hoping to convince the mother in law to semi-retire so she can look after bubba - although if i do have twins i'd probably work part time and put them in nursery when i'm working.
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? Depends how long it takes for the first one(s) to arrive. Given the length of time we've been trying we should probably start ttc#2/3 straight away.

I'm hoping ASAP, but planning by December to coincide Maternity with DS starting school...(helps with the school run!!! )

How many children do you want? As many as possible before I run out of time - probably 3! Already have son James who's almost 4.
Any names yet? Aoife (pronounced Eefa) for girl and Conor for boy. (They'll both have 2 middle names yet to be determined...lol)
What will your work situation be? I'll take maternity leave for 9 months
At home mum or nursery? Home, then nursery for 2 days, with their Grandad for 2 days...I'll be back full time working compressed hours (5 days crammed into 4)
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? ASAP, I'm 37 now, would be at least 38 with next one, so want all 3 before I am 40.

TT's

ohhhhhh how fun!

I thought I'd be pg already!
I want 4 or as many as I can
Haven't got any names yet, but something unusual
I will take as much maternity as I can then hopefully try again as soon as I feel my body is ready (hopefully within 6 months of having my first)
Stay at home mum if we can manage it

...do I sound mad ha ha

Oooh interesting thread! Today i feel like i will never fall pg! Tomorrow i will prob say this cycle.... can never make my mind up but its been 10 months now and nada, so who knows?!

How many children do you want? I'll let you know the answer to that one once i've been through childbirth at least once!!!
Any names yet? No! "Fecking baby" seems to crop up quite a lot though :-)
What will your work situation be? I'll take maternity leave for a year i think.
At home mum or nursery? I'm 99% certain i'll go back to work full time and the baby will go to childcare / grandparents / OH part time? Not sure yet, but i'm the (alleged) career driven ambitious one in our house!!
If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? See above... i highly suspect one round of childbirth might put me off for life, let alone going through all this TTC nonsense again!!

I think like alot of you, I thought I'd have been pg by now so as soon as possible really. having said that, if we could get our financial bits sorted out first then we could probably enjoy the whole thing more but I can't face the idea of waiting!

How many children do you want? Hopefully 2. I'd like 2 girls, DH would like a boy and a girl

Any names yet? We'd like Aisling for a girl and we're not sure for boys yet

What will your work situation be? I'll take maternity leave for as long as possibe but we'll have to see how things go financially

At home mum or nursery? In some ways I'd love to be an at home mum but couldn't do it financially. After the first, I'd probably be back full time purely to pay the bills. After the second, hopefully DH will be bringing in more and I'll have the freedom to start my own business which is what I have always want to do anyway. Miel, I'll have to pick your brains at some point, I want to open a shop!

If you're planning more than one, when do you reckon you'll go for round 2 of TTCing (god forbid!)? I think probably when the baby is 9-12 months old. There's 21 months between my sister and me and we're really close so I'd like that for my kids.

Great thread and here's hoping we all get s this month!
