i have a son named Samarth. he is 11 years old. Actually me and my husband planed that we keep just a single baby. But now our some relatives and friends told us that it is not right to have a single baby. We must plan one more baby too.
I want a suggestion that it is right to plan one more bay now. i think it is not right to to this time. because my son is 11 years old now. please guide me , i am very confused in this matter.

If you have another baby, you should have it because you and your husband want another child, not because friends and relatives think it's wrong for Samarth to be an only child. If both of you agree, you shouldn't let the age difference between your son and the baby stop you, either.

I think that it depends whether a couple that have one child want another child. It might be that having one child is enough or they might want a brother or sister for him or her. Other people's opinions shouldn't really matter.
It is lovely that you have an 11 year old son called Samarth. I am sure that after all this time he is used to being an only child. If you do have another child your children will have a large gap gap.
I have a son that is almost 14 years old and a son that is nearly 2 years old. So there is a 12 year gap between my children. I am pregnant with my baby girl and she is due in June. So I guess my second and third child will get on well with the 2 year age gap between them.
I have a friend that invited me to her 30th birthday party. Her 18 year old sister was there. So that will be the same as my two sons in the future. Good luck deciding what is right for you.

if you're worried about them having such a large age gap, i have two cousins who are siblings and 10 years apart. they get along fine. the older even acts like a little "daddy" figure to the younger.
if you and your husband feel it's right for your family that you should only have one child, then you should have one child.
the number of children a family has is not a choice that should be made by your family members, friends, or anyone besides your husband and yourself. you have to decide what it right for you and your immediate family.
