Am I the only one left who's most definitely, happily one and done totally by choice? I feel like we have people falling off the fence left and right these days! Who's still with me? More power to and good luck to those jumping, I'm just wondering who else has their heels dug in like me!
Nope you're not alone. Definitely one and done and not ever changing my mind. A friend of mine is pregnant with #2 and I done envy her one but. Our circumstances actually dictate this choice but I have too many things to accomplish like finishing school.
I am here more solidly each day. Read a great book recently called "One and Only" which has really helped to reinforce my decision, get rid of any guilt I had, and explain why I had the conflicting thoughts. I highly recommend it.

I have only ever wanted one, and DH feels the same way. We were told 5 years ago we couldn't have kids and have suddenly found ourselves pregnant at 40!! So we are most definitely 100% OAD by choice and circumstance.
Anyone not married and OAD? I am 33 year old and divorced. Upon delivery I will be 34 and I feel guilty that I might meet my future spouse that is childless and I wont be able to give him a child. I always knew I only wanted one child, but I don't want to be selfish.....
DS is 20 months now, and we are pretty sure OAD. I'm still on the fence, but DH is a no. It has to do with our ages (I'll be 38 and he'll be 40 next year) and financial decisions. However, I also think I was only meant to have the patience for one child, so that is probably best. It's not bad, but 20 months later and I'm still struggling to balance everything.

Re: Am I the only one left?
I'm not ready to rule out another 100% but it would be such a long shot at this point in my life.

OAD and no changing minds here!
Throwing leaves
I mostly lurk here now but we are officially OAD by choice and I am very content with our decision.
We had a scare 2 months ago and it really made me realize how much we do NOT want another child!
