One and done for me too. And weirdly the opposite, I don’t think anyone from my NCT group is thinking about a second, except for the one woman who had her second while we all had our first.
Nope one and done For me as well. Some people want lots of kids others like myself are fine with 1. There’s nothing wrong with that
I wanted another but my husband is 1 and done so I guess I'll have to compromise lol!
I could absolutely have written this post myself. 100% relate to everything you've said ❤️
Each to their own. Just need to stop comparing your own self to others. Do what you want, and that should make you happy, not the opposite. No need to try and be like everybody else just because you’re in the minority group of interests. You are you, just live your life the way you want, not because everyone else is doing it so you must do it too.
Nope. One child is all I want & need.
One and done here for me too! I considered a second (but I’m only 5 weeks pp) but honestly I don’t think I could do newborn stage with a toddler, that’s really the only thing putting me off but it’s a very strong feeling 😂 I’m also still in my work’s group chat and I follow them on Instagram and, honestly, I am missing work haaarrrd! I cant wait to go back next year!
One and done!! I will be able to be my best self and the best mom for my daughter by stopping at one.
Im only having one. Im definitely happy with having my little boy x
We were one and done and accidentally got pregnant in September. Baby is due 3rd June and my son is 4.5 and starting school this year. Only positive to this is he will be at school during the day so I only have one child to entertain 🤣🙈🤪
Same! I’m one and DOOOONE no need to have another when you don’t want to.
@Bec how have you managed with this? I’m in the same boat.
Not even given birth yet and I know it’s one and done for me! X
One and done too. I started late but if I was much younger, I would love to give bub a sibling.

I'm in the same boat. I am a one and done. Feel very grateful for my son, and love him to bits, but I do not feel like I need to redo it all again with a second child. The mental and physical load of one is sufficiently enough for me I feel. I work full time in a reasonably demanding job, and I feel that would be even harder with two kids on the scene.... Being able to utilize daycare is also amazing. I don't know what I'd do without it. I just would struggle so much looking after him all day at home. Its just not the right fit for me. Also, my partner after having one decided he wanted another and was gutted when I said I am one and done, but it just is too big of a thing to roll over on for me.... Its important to stick to your gut.Dont worry about those people wanting 2,3 4 kids. That's their journey and if that's what they want, and can afford and manage then all power to them Xxx we all have different aspirations, visions and realities. One or the other is not necessarily right or wrong.
I've noticed some people are quite judgemental of 'only children'. Like they are missing out, lonely or somehow deprived of interactions and play friends. Personally I've never quite understood that mentality. As I see it, I can dedicate more quality one on one time with them. I can more realistically afford to try and provide a decent life for them financially, and in terms of to play with, kids can have friends and cousins etc. Its also important to learn some independent play and time. Being an only child is also not necessarily going to make you selfish. You can raise your child to learn to share etc... Try not to feel like a black sheep 🐏🐑🖤 about it. Xxxx 💗👶 I certainly don't.
@Danielle I'm just hoping he'll change his mind if I give him time, I don't want one for another year or so but he didn't even want this baby so I might just have to foster when I'm older to get my fill lol!!x
One and done for me 👍
