I might go for another round of clomid in 2014, but I don't think I'd go past that point. Then we'd just be one and done, and I'd be ok with that, honestly. My husband would not be, as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1186181 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:46:57 +0000 yourekindapretty 1186181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>week 3 at home with our first. HAHAAH!<br /> it was so rough the first 3 months with our first that we are seriously considering no more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1186144 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:38:40 +0000 pastemoo 1186144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I "knew" when I was still pregnant, and then every now and then I get serious baby rabies. We are in no position to have another now and I really don't know if we will. It's almost like if we only have the one, it won't really be by plan but just because there wasn't a good time for another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1186086 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:24:26 +0000 MamaJ 1186086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I was even pregnant. Then pregnancy was rough, plus some mild PPD and a difficult baby. I'm happy with just one :) DH still wants another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1186078 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 18:21:34 +0000 shinymama 1186078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were one and done for 10 years for a lot of the same reasons you mentioned. I am now the mother of two. :wink:</p> <p>All I can say is that circumstances and perspectives change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1185977 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:51:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 1185977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go back and forth. I had a great pregnancy, L&amp;D, great baby..I am afraid to chance more! I also seriously struggle with imagining loving another as much as I love LO. </p> <p>But I've always wanted at least 2 kids (we'd stop at 2 unless we hit the lottery). and I would love LO to have a sibling. I'm so torn. Luckily I have some time to decide!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1185937 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:37:08 +0000 Kemma 1185937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go back and forth about this because I always thought I'd have a big family but I found the first few months of motherhood very traumatic and at the moment have no desire to do it again any time soon! Half of me still wants the big family but the other half is happy with just one but then I worry about regretting whatever decision we make so I get even more confused :-)</p> <p>My DH would have been happy to start trying again when LO was only six months old (or earlier!) but I'm thinking if we do have another it won't be till 2015. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1185882 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 17:19:41 +0000 chopsuey 1185882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're 2 and through, just because my body is tired and I'm happy with one of each! I'm sure my love would expand if we had a 3rd, but taking care of 2 + being a good wife keeps me busy!</p> <p>I know this thread is about one and done, but didn't wanna bump without commenting :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-decide-to-be-one-and-done#post-1185706 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 16:30:26 +0000 DillonLion 1185706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As time goes on, I feel more and more strongly about being one and done! She came out so perfect. I worry that another one will be health challenged or I will have complications. I jist want to give LO my total attention and not split myself betweeen multiple kids. I was an only and had no problems with it at all.</p> <p>DH still wants one more. I am undecided. </p>
