Only child

I have a little one and she’s still very young but I honestly don’t know if want to have more kids or not Sometimes I feel like I want to give her a sibling but then other times I feel like I only want one kid Has anyone else felt like this? Did you end up having another kid or only have the one?

Regardless, you have time to figure it out. Plenty of people are happily one and done, pregnancy and motherhood is nothing but sacrifice so just trust that you’ll know when/if it’s the right thing for you

I always check Reddit for more perspectives: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneanddone/s/pPnju7yXWV https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/s/bCFNYbREmx https://www.reddit.com/r/AskParents/s/16pfTdQmW6

My baby is only 6 months, but I think I’ve decided that I’m happy with one child. It will allow for me to give him my full undivided attention Also, I hated pregnancy and would not like to do that again

If giving your LO a little mate is your only reason why you are on the fence, I personally wouldn't have another. There is no guarantee the kids will get along. Ask yourself, does your family feel complete? Can you imagine going through pregnancy, childbirth and the early years again? What would your life look like with only one/with multiple kids? Are you willing/able to take the financial effects? Just know, there is no right or wrong answer. Only you and your partner can decide what's best for your family

I’m one and done after always thinking I would have 2 kids. We tried for a second for a while but covid/life got in the way and I had such a rough pregnancy I was not excited about going again. I had a high needs baby who didn’t sleep much which also was hard 😑 my son’s now 6.5 and we feel our family is complete, we love the simplicity that comes with it and having more resources for travel and living our best lives! He’s also happy as an only child and loves having all our attention.
