the one and done appreciation thread

It's such a difficult decision. Maybe wait until after the holidays to see how you feel. I always think the holidays make the broodiness worse.

I am still so nervous adding a second. She was so unexpected and I'm sure once she's here it will work out fine. But we both were happy oad.

my DD turns 4 on the 31st December too so I think that might have something to do with it - I always feel so emotional around her birthday!

I'm definitely sure it'll work out fine, she was meant to be

Oh yea, my son's birthday was always a big one. I always felt like we needed to have another one if we were going to minimise the gap. But to be honest the gap is going to be nice. I love that he is potty trained and gaining so much independence.

DH and I were considering ourselves “one and done” by choice.

Well... now I’m 29 weeks pregnant and honestly still struggling with it a little bit. I’m hoping I’ll bond with baby soon, it’s not coming easily at this point.

hey sevenofnine, sorry to hear you've been finding it tough as much as i'm saying i'm broody right now, i know how terrified i'd feel if i fell pregnant because really the main driver for me not having any more children is that i really don't feel like i could cope with more.

i'm sure once your new baby is born you'll bond i actually can't imagine how hard being pregnant while already having a child would be!
