[quote=Anonymous]Got pregnant and had a miscarriage for my second pregnancy. Health issues for DH who is several years older than me and I am in my late 30's. I did not have an easy 1st pregnancy and the early pregnancy and loss reminded me of this. I'd have to go off a medication during pregnancy that I'd otherwise be on, which poses some risks for me, and this was not an issue during my first pregnancy.

We had DC1 relatively early and have a great, easy kid. We, and grandparents who help a lot, are years older now. We gave the 2nd pregnancy a try and it was a miscarriage and feels final for us.

Pluses for us:
-We want to start travelling again once covid eases up. With one kid we can travel internationally each year and give many opportunities to our kid. Our child loves to travel and gets so much out of it. 
-Ours is a low stress life with more time and money, and more time with my spouse. (Double Income, One Elem Kid)
-We won't have to worry about treating multiple kids equally. We can just make decisions for our one kid.
-Happiness research suggests one kid is optimal for happiness, and the mother's happiness especially goes down with 2nd kid.

Best of luck, not easy life choices. [/quote]
