I’m one & done, birth was to traumatic and postpartum has been hard. Xx

Yes

I go back and forth with myself on that subject. It was the opposite for me like everything was easy pregnancy, birth, postpartum and newborn stage (I have an amazing support system from my in laws). I feel like it was too easy and the next one I won’t get as lucky. My sister and best friend both had not so great experiences with delivery and postpartum

Yup - midwives made me promise never to get pregnant again after severe preeclampsia. Just grateful to have our little one

Yep - we only ever wanted one and that hasn’t changed. I love my LG more than anything and don’t want to divide my attention between two children.

I am. I had a very uneventful pregnancy and I opted for a c section that also went very well. My job does 14 weeks paid leave and my husband is a stay at home dad… however I just don’t want anymore kids. I love my son but I have no interest in having more kids. Life is expensive and I want to be able to do more than just work and pay bills. Also I’m so tired of people saying “he needs a sibling” or “you’ll change your mind”

My heart says yes but my brain says no more kids

Pretty sure I'm one and done, my pregnancy was hell from the start, labour was long and ended up having an emergency section and my recovery was awful too

I’m happily one and done.

I am an only child and can speak from experience. If you’re able to and want to have a child at heart if it wasn’t for all the hard stuff, have one. I would have loved to have a sibling and grow up with a best friend and have someone to feel comfortable enough to talk about anything ever. There’s lots of benefits of being a only child but I wish more than anything to have had the experience of siblings 🤍

@Kenzi but not all siblings get along. I haven’t spoken to my sister in years and I can’t think of one good memory with her. Of course this isn’t always the case but to have a child just so your first can have a friend isn’t always the case.

@Patricia unfortunately this is true. I also haven’t spoken to my sister in years 🥲 On the contrary I have friends whom I love like a sister
