[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people have easier babies than others, and some have easier pregnancies/deliveries than others, some have more hormone fluctuations than others, and some have more emotional fortitude than others. All of that can affect wanting another baby.

If Person A felt awful all through pregnancy, had a ton of complications like gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, then was in labor for two days only to then have a c-section and then develop complications from it, and have PPD, AND have a fussy baby that screams all the time, it stands they might not want another baby.

But if Person B felt great and was able to work out all through pregnancy with zero complications, give birth within a day with no issues, feel capable of managing all the hormone variations and have a relatively happy baby that is easy to get on a schedule, they'd think having a baby is a lot of work but doable and look forward to having another.[/quote]

I was more person A, but I still had 3 kids. I don't think I'm emotionally strong or that I handled sleep deprivation well. I just wanted 3 kids, and now that they're in elementary and middle I'm so glad I have them and people tell me all the time how great they are.[/quote]
