One & Done: Only child

Can anyone relate? True OADers...

So for the true OAD gals....can you relate to this?

As stated in my intro we are OAD for medical reasons.

I do not get baby fever, but rather baby jealousy. Does that sound crazy? I have one friend who is actually in labor right now and she is the only one I do not feel this way about. I actually cry when I think about how happy I am for her. But others, I am like "eff them!" its isnt fair, I cant have another and you are popping out mulitples and are healthy.

Boo, sorry to vent, PMSing is a biitch right now.

Re: Can anyone relate? True OADers...

  • My two closest friends are TTC right now and I thought I would get the fever.  It isn't happening BUT, I have the insane fever to hold a little baby now that DD is getting so big.

  • I can't really relate.  But I'm not done strictly for medical reasons- I'm done for a whole slew of different reasons, one of them being I'm not fond of the baby stage. So I have ZERO baby fever, jealously, etc. In fact, I feel the opposite.. I ki

  • We are one and done for finacial reasons, not medical, but no I have no baby fever at all.  I'm enjoying seeing my little one grow up.  I like being able to do new things with her.  This age is so much more fun for me than the baby stage.

  • I definitely get jealous of pregnant women/people having a "normal" delivery. In fact the only reason I imagine having another is I'd like to experience making it full term and having the baby with me in the room and happy visitors and all of that... It's

  • I get a little sad sometimes when I think about not having another child. I lost a baby at 12 weeks before I had my son, so I think about that baby. I think I will always feel like my little family is incomplete because my son almost had an older brother/

  • I can relate.  I definitely do not have baby fever.  My friend just had her third and we went to the hospital to see the new baby.  It was so strange to hold a tiny baby again and for a very brief moment, I felt a twinge.

  • Yes, I can. We aren't OAD for medical reasons (just choice) but my son was born 10 weeks early so there was a gigantic medical situation.

    I have a hard time being around pg women, period. I am jealous of their bellies, their aches, pains. I will

  • Gotcha!  And I think I understand what you mean about the void.

    I am glad this board is here and that I've met other women?of various ages and situations?who, like me, aren't on the fence and are done with one.
