[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Labor and delivery was so physically draining and unexpectedly emotionally traumatic that I didn't think I could do it again, even though I wanted either zero or 2 kids. I always wanted a daughter, but the son I have has always been easy and... if I can brag for a second... he is so great![/quote] I answered above but I frankly forgot that this was a factor for us. I had a tough pregnancy and then very bad PPD that lasted much longer than I expected (I didn't really feel right for over a year). My own mom had mental health issues when I was a kid and it was traumatizing for me because she was also overwhelmed and not in treatment. I know I would have handled it better, but I really didn't want to subject my existing child to a potentially chaotic home due to physical or mental health issues. I wanted to just take care of her and give her what she needed.[/quote]
