What is the reason you have only 1 child?

In fact, I don't get married until now.

But in my country, China, as Family Planning Law, one family should have only one child. In order to limit couples to having one child, my country continues its one child policy all the time for reducing the likelihood of pregnancy or childbirth. If there are no such a Birth Control, we may have 2 or more children. Yes, in my country, most people love to have more than one kids.

Best wishes to you and your son.

The reason that i only have one child is that i had a hysterectomy.

I don't have any children. It was a conscious decision. I knew I wouldn't have been able to cope with them on a day to day basis. I was sure I'd end up strangling them, or at least shaking the daylights out of them. (I had no patience when I was young.)

hi julianarw,

My first baby is yet to be born end of this month, he is an IVF baby a precious one after 5 long years of waiting. I don't know if there will be a chance for me to bear more as I can't conceive the normal way. I prefer two or three kids if God permits but one is just fine if there's no way to have more. Good Day!

I have two childre both girls my eldest is 5.5 years and my youngest is 3.5 years old, we are actually planning to have one more baby but are getting married in April next year so plans for another baby have had to be put back a few months in the hope we get a honeymoon baby as I didnt want to be pregnant while trying to organise a wedding.

I have six children.My two daughters came were from my first marriage and my four boys came from this which is my second marriage.Some people only tend to have one child as they did not like the pregnancy or the birth where as others are happy just to have one child.

Well, everyone has different opinions on these things, but babies are a huge responsibility. They require money and love/attention. Also, we do have over-population issues. In some cases, couples who have one child realize that they're satisfied with one, they can't afford more, etc. Kids are lot of work and expensive so that's why people would only want one. Some don't want to end up on welfare or needing help from the gov to support their kids so they can only fit one in their budget from all the money they make. Some people are foursquare against welfare.

HI JUlianarw,

I am also a mother of one son and my son is 32 months years old now.
I only want to have one kid due to high living expense and it is really a difficult task to take care kid.
I am a full time mom and taking care my son 24/7.Super tiring task for me.
Having more kids are fun,in the sense,that they can play together and the house will be more merrier.But what I concern most is whether we can afford to have more than one kid in my family.
Everything is expensive especially talking about future education.Nowadays, it is needed to buy policy insurance for our kids too just for protection and saving purposes.

Another reason why I am sticking to one kid is because I am phobia to give birth again. I can't stand the pain of labour and one time is more than enough for me.That will be my first and last experience in my life.

I have only one child. The main reason is the policy in my country: One child policy. If not, perhaps I will have one more child because I think two children are perfect for a family. I don't want many children, two will be good enough for me.

I love China

For twelve years I only had one child so therefore I will answer your discussion. I got married and had a baby boy. I got divorced six years later. I was busy studying and traveling and I didn't think of having a second child when I was married. I began another relationship and had a pregnancy so that is how I got my second son. Two years after he was born I got my baby daughter. I had retained placenta after my first baby was born. I was dreading my second birth but it was excellent with little pain. My third birth was agony with severe complications. I nearly died when I lost two and a half liters of blood. Therefore I don't plan to have any more babies. One was fine and three makes me very happy indeed.
