My husband and I finally started the talk. We’re trying to determine if we want another baby or if our daughter is going to be an only child.

I always wanted at least 2 kids until I had a difficult delivery with my daughter and now I feel like I could be happy with just her. Having another baby would also mean I have to decide to have another c-section or try for a VBAC. I would love to be able to deliver naturally but I’m not sure I could handle the disappointment of not being successful again.

Since our daughter was born, I have said that I would like to wait until she’s around 2 years old to decide for sure if I want more but my husband doesn’t want to wait that long (she’s almost 11 months now).

I don’t want to rush into going through pregnancy and delivery again just because my husband has a sort of “now or never” mentality. I also don’t think I’m ready to decide if I’m done having kids or not.

For those of you that only have one baby and don’t want more, how did you know you were done? For those that have 2+, how did you know you were ready for another one?
