[quote=Anonymous]We had planned on two, but stopped at one for many reasons. She has some special needs that, while mild, take a lot of attention. Some of her needs are medical (multiple anaphylactic food allergies, asthma, eczema) and some are behavioral (mild ADHD and anxiety). Due to these special needs, she did not sleep through the night until age 4. I did get pregnant at one point, but miscarried in a bloody mess that landed me in the ER for a D&C. I am the youngest of a youngest and had no family support. My spouse was very content with one. I didn't feel strongly enough to have another by that point. My hips went out when I was pregnant with her and I was afraid it would be even worse with another. I was advanced maternal age by the time we had her needs under control. I didn't want to put a second child in daycare after staying home with her for three years, but financially I needed to go back to work. Environmental concerns were a factor. But, in the end, it just was the right decision for us![/quote]
