[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you do a little mental exercise about what it would take to make you feel confident in your family’s ability to have another baby? Leave some of this (Russia-Ukraine) out, but not all of it. Total blue-sky thinking like, live in a blue state or abroad for the pregnancy/delivery, full time assistance for the first 90 days, night nurse until 16weeks, you stay home for at least a year with a part time babysitter, etc. Total wish list.

Then see if nothing would make you comfortable. Then it’s probably a no. A no is totally, totally ok in these circumstances. If there is something or some combination of things, bring that to your husband and ask him what he thinks. You also know a lot more about the postpartum and pregnancy time than he does. [/quote]

Great advice -- this is sort of how I figured out I was one and done. Asked myself if I'd have another if we were rich or if I had a wonderful live-in nanny or if my mother (very involved grandmother) lived next door. Nope. Nothing worked.[/quote]
