One and done?
Let me start by saying I love my baby more than life itself and I do not regret having her at all. I always said I wanted her to have a sibling because I’m so close with my siblings. But I struggle being a mum. I’m a really active, outdoorsy person and I struggle with having a baby attached to me. I know it gets easier but I really don’t think I want to put myself through this again. I’m no where near as patient as I thought I’d be. My body is absolutely ruined by pregnancy and I hate the way I look now. Am I mean for not giving her a sibling because of the way I feel?

Absolutely not! Some women can have 5 kids and some only 1. And that’s okay! Your body, your life.!
I’m gonna see how I feel in a couple of years. I just feel guilty for not wanting anymore when I desperately want her to have a sibling :(
No you do you 💃 there's no rush and I'm sure you've got plenty time to think about it again (I'm guessing not sure how old you are)
I’m only 25 so got so much time realistically! Think I’ve got some maturing to do before I think about having another one. It’s been a reality check lol x
Absolutely not. I could of written this myself. I love him to bits and can't remember what I did before him 😂 but I dno if I want to do it again. I didn't enjoy the baby stage. I had no patience and thought i was going to explode. He's 15m and since 10m it's been lovely to see his development, but it's not making me want another one. My hormones have been all over the place and in my head I'm thinking can I cope with another one, then I say I categorically will not be able to, so never think that again until the kids atleast 3 😂 and by that point I'll be past the point of wanting another one. We can spoil him and give him everything he needs, get him into a sport, be able to afford more. There's alot of pros, just make sure he has friends 😁
How old is baby just now? They change alot as they get older and I'm sure you'll be able to do more outdoors things in a few months you might just have to adjust what you used to do before
Definitely not. You need to do what makes you happy and keeps you sane! X
Yoj are not at all. If you struggle with your body since pregnancy, maybe physical therapy may help. I m in therapy right now because I feel my body got crashed by a truck since pregnancy and delivery. It worked and I feel much better now at 3 months pp. In case it may help you too.

Nope. Not all siblings get along either so when I decided ”one and done” I didn’t think that was a valid reason to push myself to have another. I’m much older than you and I still feel the same. My life is significantly easier with just one and I can’t imagine what it would be like trying to juggle more than one.
Same boat as you, I'm also gonna see if I'll change my mind after a couple of years. Might push for another just so she can have a sibling.
