Just getting fed up of people's reaction when I/we say we won't be having anymore dc
We have a ds who is 8 months old. He is wonderful and we both adore him. Like all babies he can be demanding and hard work at times but is generally brilliant!
However, I didn't have the easiest pregnancy and had a very long and traumatic delivery ending with an emcs under GA.
If I had another I'd need an elcs which I really don't want. I have a back problem which isn't helped by pregnancy.
So, we have decided to stick with our ds. We are very lucky to have him and are very grateful.
However, other people always seem to ask 'when are you having another?' and when I say 'we are happy with ds and don't want another dc' I get looked at like I'm from another planet
I would never dream of questioning someone else's family planning or the number of children they want/don't want!
Has anyone else chosen to have one child? There must be someone else?
