Will I regret only having 1 child?

@mfey I come from a family of 5 so I totally get how sibling dynamics can affect us profoundly. That being said I am close with mine and I know how great that can be as a child, but the adult in me says 1 is good for me lol I actually also didn’t want children for a long time and then I went to therapy and figured out traumas and then I chose to have my daughter and I was so sure that I wanted her. I want to be that sure if I choose to have another and right now it’s just not feeling that way. I think I need to hear stories like yours to make sure of how I am feeling so thank you so much for sharing I really appreciate it

@fallingapart All you can do is whats right for you! Your daughter is loved and that's all that matters. I'm sorry about your trauma, though. But I am so glad that you've been able to work through it. And I'm glad you got to experience motherhood.

@fallingapart when i was pregnant i swore up and down one and done lol i did NOT want to do that again. I promise you 5 minutes after she was born i asked my husband if we can have one more LOL when you know you know and you sound like you know. As an only child, she’ll be fine. i had no siblings or cousins but i had friends and that was enough.
