I'm exactly the same! Found pregnancy so hard and labour so traumatic and now having PPD. Definitely no for me. Find it so annoying that everyone just expects that you'll change your mind 🙄
Aww both our babies are 6 weeks old 🥰 and they both have us up at 4 am😂🤣 But never say never girl lool, things will get better and we will soon get our sleep back lool. You’ve got this 💪💪
I'm almost 3 years in and I think I am done haha I always dreamt of having 2 kids but .... naaaah 🤣 Also side note, your little one is very cute x
I was the same, then 8 years later we had our second 🤣
I'm so one and done. It was always the plan and first handedly experiencing it has solidified my decision LOL.... and I'm only 4 weeks in 🤣
Amen to this 😂 🙏 4 weeks in.
Yes it is not easy !
I said one and done up until about 6 months pp. Now I am thinking about a second but have no idea how it logistically will work. I feel like I wouldn’t possibly have the energy/time to keep up with a second kid. I don’t know how people do it! For now, we’re open to the idea of a second, but we’re also okay if our daughter is our only one.
I personally would like a second but that’s it that’s the cut off. I was actually commenting to say OMFG THAT BABY IS SO GD CUTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Said the same after my first , then a year later I forgot about all the hard stuff. I had such a hard pregnancy , such a hard birth and recovery with bad tearing and bad PPD , then I had my second and everything was different! Do not expect it to go the same the second time ! Every birth is completely different and every pregnancy as well ! Do NOT expect it to be the same because it isn’t! I’m now 100% wanting a third ❤️
I had an awful twin pregnancy; followed by postpartum preeclampsia, 34 days in the NICU and now that they’re home, they have reflux. I can confirm I WILL NOT be having more 😂
my lb is a month today and i want another, i feel INSANE😭😭
i genuinely find myself insane, the end of my pregnancy was awful and i had a really traumatic labour that ended in an emc and i still want another one😂🤦🏼♀️, i need to be locked in a cage
100% get this!! I’m 1 month in and have said the same thing, I know when she’s older I’ll probably feel differently but these 2024 babies are something else!! I knew it would be hard but never thought it would be this hard

@Libby my boys dad was this way. I kinda agreed but have decided to stand firm on NO 2 UNDER 2. I need like. Maybe 2-3 years then we can try for a second 😂
Sure it hard but I don’t really think about the hard. I want 3 , I’m 9 months with my second atm . It is hard but it’s temporary is how I see it but it a choice everyone has to make for themselves
I knew I'd be one and done before I had my little boy. One thing that really peaves me off though is when people insist or suggest I'll change my mind or want another when he's older. No, I won't. 🤷♀️ 11 months in and solid on my decision.
One and done by choice all along. 8 months in. It’s still hard. Different hard.
I hate to be that person who says just you wait but honestly just you wait. At 6 weeks you really are in the trenches, you don’t need to make a decision now, but once your baby has grown up you may very well feel differently, or not! The first year of my daughter’s life we were 1000% one and done, the thought of another was traumatising. She’s nearly 5 now and we are on the fence.
Still early days!
One and done and still happy with that decision 26 months later. We struggled with fertility and then I had alot of anxiety in pregnancy. I absolutely hated newborn phase (up until around 1 year actually), plus having a child is expensive! I only feel I’m getting myself back now, I can’t imagine going right back to it again 🫠
It is hard, second month was extremely hard for us but our baby girl has become so much easier since 9th week. I definitely want one more, but in like 3-4 years so we can cope 😂
I have a 15month old and can honestly say I’m so happy I’m coming to the end of my second pregnancy now. If I put it off until my son was older I definitely would of been 1 and done😂 I’m finding the toddler phase so difficult
@Amanta THIS! Everyone always says to me, you’ll change your mind. No im 99.999999% sure I will never change my mind😂! How are you? I hope you’re ok🫶🏻
@Zoe I’ve always said tbf I’m happy if I have one child but now I know I’m 10000% happy with just 1 child😂! Thank you🫶🏻
@Olivia 8 years?! That’s crazy behaviour!😱 it’s probably also nice having a larger gap between the 2 though! X
@Mae aww thank you🫶🏻🩵
@Amy everyone says this. So many people tell me you forget, but right now I’m not seeing how or why you’d forget😂
@Libby oh wow bless you! 4 weeks in?! I had my doctors the other day and when she mentioned contraception I nearly bit her hand off😂

@Sophie YES! All friends and family are the same with me. Telling me I’ll change my mind and I’ll forget everything. Absolutely not😂
@Kelsey Bryant I know! But the gap is great! We wouldn’t have had a second if it wasn’t for our first, she’s been asking for 3 years and when you see them playing at the park by themselves it’s hard to say no! Best thing I ever did though
Six weeks is really early days,my advice is to not overthink it. Just enjoy your baby, it’s hard super hard but I promise it goes so quick in a year you’ll look back and realise that although you didn’t know it then, those days were filled with magic ✨
@Olivia love this!! That’s so sweet🥹
Unable to have more so definitely 1 and done x
It’ll come back when they’re about a year old but yes I am one and done of my own. I’m not going through that again. I will adopt, too many little loves needing a home and I don’t wanna be pregnant again lol but still have so much love left
I thought I was gonna be one and done because the birth was kind of traumatic and postpartum was rough but then my son was older and I decided one more now this pregnancy has been rough and after we have our daughter I’m getting a hysterectomy 😂
Yeah I’m never having anymore lol x
We said that. Very traumatic birth, hard recovery, newborn stage got lost in that, then he just wouldn’t sleep- day or night….3 years later planned c-section and a 8 week old who’s as good as gold. I’m waiting for the storm to hit again. It’s really tough but my gorgeous boy now adores his baby brother and they will both have a friend for life. It’s okay to just want one. It’s also okay to change your mind. Only you know what’s right for your family. Be kind to yourself. Enjoy every second of him, if he’s the only one, treasure all the firsts xxx
We were set on being a child free house …. Here I am 23 weeks pregnant with my second
I used to say this about my daughter and now she’s 3 and she has a 3 month old baby brother. I’m absolutely so happy we had another one. I knew I always wanted to give her a sibling and yes it can be hard but the newborn stage is so much easier than the toddler stage lol! Your still early days so you might change your mind the older he gets x
4 kids in and still not feeling done 😂 however my bank balance is saying yes done!! 😂 xx
I’m the total opposite, my second is 9 weeks and I’m already wanting a 3rd 😆 x
My LG is 6 months and I can happily say she will be the only child!
I used to think I’d only have one (girl preferably). Had a boy and as soon as he was out I was already thinking he’ll definitely have a sibling 😅. No rush for that to happen but it’s inevitable considering I’m actually loving motherhood. To each their own though. You shouldn’t feel bad for not wanting more children because at the end of the day you’re thinking about how much you can deal with

I was saying that until now. My boy is 9 months old tomorrow and I’d love to have a sibling for him 😂
I’m pregnant and I only want one hahahahahahaha
You're only 6 weeks in, give it time lol. Plus, it gets so much worse than this 😅
We felt the same after our first born n here we are with a newborn after 2 years. My son loves his baby brother. 🫠
I said one and done if I had a girl during pregnancy. Then my blood test said boy so I was like ok maybe 2 then… meanwhile later in pregnancy come to find out blood test was wrong and we have a girl now- 10.5weeks postpartum and we’re both like maybe we will try for another one (boy maybe if not 2 girls is fine too) and then he’s getting snipped. But not for awhile cause our financial situation is a struggle lol not because of baby so much yet but because of me being n a sahm for now 🥴
Never say never! Remember you’re only 6 weeks in….
