[quote=Anonymous]What people’s real reasons are for having only one child and what they say in polite company are two different things. Two women in my family have only one child. Both had traumatic births and neither wanted to repeat the experience. One had to get a hysterectomy in her 30s to attempt to fix the damage. I think traumatic births and and birth injuries are a lot more common than people realize. I read one study that found that about a third of women who had given birth by forceps or emergency C section said they did not want to have more children because they did not think they could go through that experience again. What stuns me and continues to stun me, is that anyone ever feels entitled to say “you need to give Larla a sibling!” Or “when are you having another?” It’s so insensitive. [/quote]
