@breanne Yep. I thought I would want two but while I am loving life with my one I just know now that the challenges that come with more are not ones I want in my life. I hate having to deal with kids bickering and fighting. I can just choose not to have that in my own home? Sold. And I could...

@alexis5 Yep. Plus what if a second one isn't easy like their sibling? 😬

@gingerine Yeah, I can nap and my husband can't. We just play to our strengths and that means I get up early more. I don't mind and he benefits so why wouldn't I?

@nessofonett05 I often let my husband sleep in because I am better at falling asleep at night and when I am awake in the morning it's hard for me to go back to sleep, and he is the opposite. He always says thanks and is happy to take over and let me have time to myself when he gets up.

@dmurrayfly If I wake up early I would have to go to bed early and then when am I going to clean up from dinner, tidy away toys, and make the house livable for the next day? No thanks.

@joseph92 I think people who really want a second probably put it to the back of their mind. Plus even though you had pain relief and she didn't, people's body's are different and they feel pain differently and experience different levels of pain. I asked for an epidural but didn't get one and...

@celise Have they had to use it before now?

@badone Starting to try after that trip sounds like a good option. It gives you some time to mull things over, do some research and start taking folic acid! Just consider whether you'd be likely to plan another trip you wouldn't want to do while pregnant, and a Christmas time when you would want...

@faith76 If they're considering waiting a few years, I think this makes sense. If they're planning to start trying in a few months, then a few months of trying before going through the process of testing might be preferable.

@max2800 They know their own bodies

@max2800 My daughter was the same! From about 9 months old I was wondering how on earth I would keep up with bottles until a year! She was having about 12 ounces in 24 hours for a long time. Then she went up for a couple of weeks with teething and dropped off again to like 6 ounces when she got...

@samanthaadams Yep. My daughter is a superstar. She's 15 months so I am not counting my chickens yet, I know lots of chaos and defiance is probably just around the corner, but at the moment she listens most of the time when I ask her not to do something. We were at a friend's house and she...

@johnbiggs I feel like it must be a lot for the kids too! They never get a break from their sibling. It's bad enough not getting a break from your own kid, let alone if you're a kid yourself! I have a sister and I love her to bits but I mostly remember fighting when we were kids.

@vitality Visiting friends with a lovely and well behaved 3 and 1 year old. Even absolutely lovely kids bicker with their siblings and fight for attention and just... It's exhausting. I used to thoroughly enjoy visiting them when they had one, and while I still enjoy seeing them I am much more...

@wisdomandlove Stop trying to use reason. It's not a decision based on reason. You either want a kid or you don't and you don't.

@neena56 I've just been using 3 normal pillows and a small cushion. Cushion between my knees, one pillow in a normal position, one down my back, and one that I hug down my front. If I roll half onto my back the back one supports me and I can shift the front one to support my belly. I personally...

@josiah714 Not overprotective at all!! My daughter is 11 months old today and even though my mum is set to babysit 2-3 days a week I still wouldn't yet be ready to leave her at bedtime or overnight. The fact that you live with your parents definitely makes this a different situation and I...

@ezzeking After 1 they don't actually need any milk, but if they don't have it they need some other dairy or fortified milk etc for the nutrition. My daughter isn't a huge milk drinker but she has lots of cheese and yoghurt every day.
