@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.
Thanks to everyone that shared their personal stories and experiences with me! I am truly grateful for all of your advice and suggestions. It’s great to have a space to come to for things like this you all have helped so much. Thanks again!
I completely understand where you're coming from! It’s so heartwarming to hear how content you are with your little family. Many parents feel the same way, and it's natural to question whether adding another child is the right choice. Every family dynamic is unique, and what works for one may not work for another.
As a parent, it’s important to prioritize what feels right for you and your current family. Some only children thrive with all the love and attention from their parents, while others enjoy having siblings. Ultimately, trust your instincts and remember that there’s no 'one-size-fits-all' answer. Your happiness as a mom is what truly matters!
I really appreciate it 
thanks for the reassurance!
