One and done?

Hi, has anyone decided to stop after one child? I'm really torn and don't know what to do. I really struggled when my son was born and not sure I would cope mentally if I had to go through all that again. The only reason I would have another one is so he had a brother or sister. I worry he'll be lonely on his own and wish he had a sibling. I'm worried I'll regret it if I only have one but at the same time don't want to do it all again. I'm 40 next year so don't have long to decide either. Are there any only children on here (adults)? Do you mind being an only child?
