I have been firmly in the "one and done" camp since becoming a mom. I am an only child, so the current family dynamic seems very natural to me. I also had a traumatic birth experience as well as an extremely challenging breastfeeding experience. I don't care to repeat those. I also feel like our financial situation can provide a very good life to LO that would be tampered if we were to have more children.
I do struggle slightly knowing that my fellow moms are kind of moving on without me when having more children. I know that having 2+ babies is going to be much more challenging than just one, so I worry we won't be able to relate as much.
I already have had a very difficult time finding mom friends because we don't have time to get together and have different work statuses, making it hard to connect. I worry that being the mom of an only will further isolate me in the realm of making mom friends.
Can any one-and-done moms relate to these feelings?
