[quote=Anonymous]OP, some of my friends had a first that was harder.  For others, their second was harder.  (My best friend says if her second had been her first she would have stopped at one).  I have twins so we got two at once (not planned/IVF/etc.) so I've never known what it's like to have only one kid, but I honestly think you may be happier just embracing the family you have and making peace with only having one.  You never know what you're going to get with a second, and if the whole idea fills you with dread, why not just be happy with the three of you?  I have friends who only have one and several friends who are onlies and they are great.  We were considering only having one but got two and didn't have that choice (not that I'm unhappy with my kids, just saying I understand the desire to have an easier life with only one).  I personally didn't love the baby stage and I hated being pregnant and I never once considered doing it again after our twins were born.  Like have never once, even for a fleeting second, ever wanted to be pregnant or have a baby again.  At all.  So it's totally ok to be done.  Just try to be happy with your decision (whatever it is).
