[quote=Anonymous]DD was born with a throat condition that causes her to choke easily and frequently.  As a newborn, she choked on breast milk!  I didn’t sleep for a year and someone, usually me, held her upright pretty much all night.  Starting solid food and self-feeding had me physically shaking.  She’s choked so many times and needed to be Heimliched and use the dechoker.  We’re frequent flyers at the ER.

She’s 3.5 now and it’s getting better.  She goes to preschool and has a de choker in her backpack and knows she has to take small bites.  She’s only choked once at school and the teachers handled it well.

But the thought of having a second child sends me into a true panic spiral.  I know I can never go through that again.  DD wants a sibling and loves babies.  DH and I always said we’d have three kids and we’re both close to our siblings.

Honestly even writing this my hands are shaking!  I can’t do it again.

Anyone else decide on a one-and-only for this reason?  [/quote]
