Question

me too! definitely one and done and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it🥰

@Emily if I don’t mind me asking what’s made you reach this point

One and done here! Very high needs baby and I don’t think I could do it again xx

just being realistic I realised I can give my one little girl the best life! Time,money, space, if I had another baby I’d compromise that- and we had quite a traumatic experience with her being in the NICU after birth with respiratory distress, which caused a lot of problems in the early days so I feel like it wouldn’t be fair to do it all again, as much as I may miss her being tiny sometimes!🥺❤️

We were one and done. I had perinatal anxiety and morning sickness all the way through to 36 weeks, a really traumatic birth and then awful postnatal depression. Said we would never do it again and were happy with that decision. I’m an only child so was perfectly happy raising another only. Our surprise baby arrived January 2024 😅. I was terrified it was going to be the same as my first and wasn’t sure I could do it again after such a horrible experience. Second time I had no perinatal anxiety, no postnatal depression and a wonderful scheduled c section experience. I knew what I needed and had all the appropriate support in place 2nd time around that I didn’t know existed with my first. You have to do what is right for you, but I can say my experiences were night and day from baby 1 and baby 2. Plus being an only child was great! I got so many opportunities I may not have had with siblings 😊.

@Gabrielle yes this too I forgot to mention this!🙈😂

I am too for multiple reasons. Only you can judge what is best for your situation, bringing a new life into the world is a big deal.

@Gabrielle same here! Super High needs baby
