    Thinking about being OAD because first born is so easy??

    @brhjz That sounds amazing! My baby is 9 months old and around 7 months finally slept through the night 10 hours! He had bad reflux when he was a newborn so I ended up having to hold him for 30 minutes after the bottle so he didn’t spit it all up after. We are OAD for many reasons though! But I...

    My OBGYN laughed at me when I said I was OAD

    @arseniusthesilent I think a lot of women probably do change their mind lol but I feel the same right now and my baby six month old!

    Anyone One and done due to being the older sibling?

    @marybelshe I’m OAD because I’m the youngest and my older sister was so mean to me in high school lol still as adults she makes rude comments. She’s always had jealousy towards me so I limit how much I talk to her now we are in our 30s.

    How do people want more than one?? This is a rant/vent

    @1an I also don’t know how I’d manage to look after a toddler with a newborn because I also do the chores while he naps and I like the alone time also. I know with two I’d have zero alone time. The thought of two is nice but I don’t think the reality of two would be lol maybe if we had a nanny...

    @robbyrob65 Yes I feel like one kid is easier in so many ways! I’m really happy I decided to have one but it’s definitely way harder than I thought it would be! Lol

    @reporter94 That’s how I feel. I’m terrified a second would give me extreme PPD if I also had to take care of a toddler and was on my own most of the time so we are making it permanent (vasectomy) and I just feel so relieved that I don’t have to do the hard parts again. It gets me through the...

    @anthonyinalabama Yes I’ll be excited to meet their babies and hangout but if I were to get pregnant I’d be upset! All my mom friends are so sure they want more too lol I’m like we are done haha We were pretty sure we would be OAD before we had our son then we had him and I was like yeah this...

    @andras My husband is getting a vasectomy because I honestly am scared I’ll change my mind when it gets better and I know right now I don’t ever want to do this again! But everyone is different!

    Well it happened

    @jc4me I really want to start saying all the reasons why you shouldn’t have another to people like this! Just start saying how much they’d regret another, it’s basically the same thing back to them! I don’t think I ever actually would say that but all the comments about how you’ll forget and...

    @illuminatorofevil Yeah I don’t understand if you can’t afford more then it’s time to stop. I understand if you unexpectedly get pregnant but I don’t know why people keep having babies if they can’t afford them. Everything is so expensive these days too, I’m one of three and my parents did...

    @siriusp23 That’s exactly what’s happening he’s very clingy which I love it but also I need to get stuff done so it’s frustrating when I try to set him in the playpen and distract him with toys and walk away then he starts big crying and I cannot just let him cry it stresses me out! But we do...

    @wowdarling My husband is very good about 50/50 when he is home but he is away a lot for work. I have help about twice a week for 2 hours at a time and it’s something at least but it is so not enough help for me to have anymore than one!

    How do people want more than one?? This is a rant/vent

    @andyron I know lol I like the idea of lots of adult kids I think it seems amazing but as kids fighting and all the after school activities and as babies I was like hell no 😂 but I think a lot of those influencers with big families don’t have jobs besides social media so maybe it’s because both...

    How do people want more than one?? This is a rant/vent

    @abraham7777 I used to feel I “should” have two but I got rid of social media for the most part (instagram was the bad one lol) and I realized I was 100% just feeling the pressure of being influenced by influencers and friends having multiple kids posting just the good stuff. I realized once I...

    I love my baby so much and I’m 1000% OAD. But holy hell how do people want to have more than one? I don’t have much help and my husband works away a lot lol so maybe that is why I don’t but I’m sooo oveeerrr the poopy diapers/ wrestling a wild baby to change them, the scream crying when he just...

    Genuinely curious - why do people choose to keep having kids despite health risks?

    @girl4god86 I don’t understand why either, I found out I had cancer 3 months after I had my baby (cancer free now) but it opened my eyes to how much I still want to travel/ live a full life! I love my son and am so lucky to be his mom but I want to travel with him and my husband and live a...

    Obsessing over this decision.

    @jenny404 I was also obsessing over making the decision. My baby is 7 months and I have been heavily leaving OAD since he was 4 months old. My mental health was horrible the first 5 months. Now he is almost 8 months and it’s so much easier that life feels perfect (for the most part lol) and I...

    I got sterilized after one child

    @cinnamonlovely I’m in Canada and it makes me so mad how messed up the states is towards women's rights. I feel like they have too much religious views instilled in their laws. Religion should never be applied to laws it royally messed up the system. Definitely going backwards in time not...
