Hi all,
Me and my partner are one and done. We have a healthy child who we have been very lucky with. We both work full time, our child is in a mixture of school and private nursery and will be starting Reception in September.
I always imagined I would have at least 2 children. My partner decided he did not want any more when our child was quite young and although it was a bit of shock at first, with time I grew to not only accept the decision but also decided I felt the same. Recently though I have started to wonder if not having another child is the right decision.
I imagine the doubts have now crept in due to her starting school, and also because of her class, there are now only 1 other child who is an only child. There are another 2 who were only children but their mums are now pregnant. It is probably also a bit of biological clock ticking as I am now late 30's.
Has anyone else had similar wobbles about this age and if so what did you decide to do.
