One & Done?!

I felt the same...and now he's here I really do want another. BUT my partner already has a daughter and financially it's just not gonna work. So I'm now sad that I'm one and done 🤣

I felt the same… pregnancy dragged, I had awful ligament pain with every step I took in my left leg and I was exhausted but had a very straight forward pregnancy (I still didn’t like being pregnant at all) …now she’s 5 weeks old, I’m still only 90% healed from a 3rd degree tear and I’m so sleep deprived, sometimes I can’t string a solid sentence together if it’s last 8pm But I think I want to try for another one next year 🥴🥴 this is coming from a woman who didn’t even think she wanted kids a couple of years ago. Looking into my daughter’s eyes makes everything make sense. As cheesy as that sounds, she really is a missing piece that I didn’t realise was missing and I’d do it all over again. Tear and stitches included!

I am definitely one and done. I had an easy pregnancy but I just didn’t enjoy it. I hated not feeling like myself, hated trying to dress a bump and just couldn’t wait for it to be over. My baby has been an absolute dream. Slept through from early, didn’t have colic or digestive issues, weaning has been a dream, he’s so happy and independent. I’ve absolutely loved motherhood. I didn’t suffer with baby blues or anything. My relationship is still amazing and I’ve loved maternity leave, so much so I quit my job to be a SAHM. But I can’t imagine going through pregnancy again and then having a baby that isn’t easy 🤣 I don’t think I’d cope well with a baby that wasn’t like that & I don’t want to risk it 🤣🤣🤣 that’s my reason for being one and done

I HATED every minute of being pregnant, and giving birth.. it was awful 🤣 and it’s so ok to feel that way!! I always think I’m being selfish for only wanting one baby.. (I have luckily never suffered with mental health) but being pregnant and the newborn stage I would say had me awfully close to being depressed. Everyone is different, everyone says I’ll change my mind.. but I can’t see it happening! I am so blessed to have my gorgeous boy, he is perfect and that enough xxxx
