    One and done or try for 2nd… Let fate decide? Anyone tried this approach?

    @tiramisu It might help to ask yourself, if a doctor told you sorry but you'll never be able to have another-what would be your immediate reaction? What do you want your family to look like 20 years from now? Do you imagine being a grandparent? But what if your only kid never gets married or...

    Going 0-to-1 vs Going 1-to-2

    @jennifers60 My mom had five kids. Im the oldest, so I saw how it was. I still don't know how she did it. But it's good for your kids to see that something is hard for you, you voice it in normal and healthy ways, and then persist through it, I think anyway.

    @ajewelinhiscrown I mean, it happens to the best of us, don't beat yourself up. When I lose it I always make sure to repair with my kids. I tell them I'm sorry and explain why I did what I did and also why I should not have done that, and then I tell them I love them and ask them if everything's...

    Regretting decisions made re: pregnancy

    @greengrace I got pregnant a few years after my first was born. I thought it was what I wanted but I was having a hard time with depression and anxiety-I also had ppd, untreated for a year and a half. I felt like I couldn't do two and we chose to abort.

    Turning 30, thinking about quitting law school after my first semester to start a family. Advice?

    @ladyghosthunter I'm not a professional anything but I am a sahm with a bachelors degree I got and never used! 😄 4-5 kids is a lot and as someone else said, that's about 10 years being pregnant if you space them pretty close together. I don't know what kind of age gaps you prefer. You also...
