Parent with one child only

[bibits]

i would love to have another baby, si hubby din. want to give our daughter a sister kasi yun ang di ko naranasan, magkaroon ng kapatid na babae. syempre gusto ko din may lalaki..pero siguro as much as i would like na magkababy again now, for our situation sa ngayon better na wait muna ng atleast 2-3 more years. of course one reason is finances. pero if we are given a baby now syempre happy pa din kasi its a blessing. God willing, after a few years and pag ready na kami, bigyan kami ulit ni God ng isa pa (dalawa pa?) baby

I have a son and I just gave birth last july to a baby girl. It wasn't planned at all. Kala namen ni hubby isa lang magiging anak namen cos we've been trying to get pregnant since 2006 pa and besides I have polycystic ovary and thyroid problem which makes it difficult for me to conceive. For me, having another child is part of God's plan. Our daughter came at the right time:)

Hubby wants another one, by the way. He has 5 siblings and from his POV, mas maganda pag mas madami kase in times of need and celebrations, the more the merrier ika nga.  IMO, I'm contented na with 2. We can send them to good schools, give them what they need, and yung attention dalawa lang ang maghahati... ooops 3 pala, including hubby LOL but whatever God gives, we'll take. Blessing yun e:)

[longing]

we have one girl, hubby and I want another one pa next year or the ff year.  how we wish na on the next one is sure na boy na. if maging ok lahat in the coming years, we would love to have another one pa on top of the 2 planned na kids.

Ako when I was pregnant with my daughter, I originally wanted 4 kids. Pero ngayon, ok lang kung hindi na muna namin masundan yung daughter ko. Sabi ko din dati after 28 y/o ayaw ko na manganak kasi baka mahirapan na ko pero ngayon ok lang kahit mga 30 plus na ko. Haha. Ideally, isa pa sana pero pag 10 years old na yung daughter ko. Pero kung may lumusot, go lang. Pero hanggang dalawa lang. Papatali na ko after.

Before nung newly weds pa lang kami ni hubby i really wanted to have 4 kids 2 girls & 2 boys but after had 2 miscarriage tapos delicate ang pregnancy ko medyo nag-alangan na kami ni hubby na sundan c baby because naaawa daw sya sa akin i have plenty of medications & injections.  Pero now parang gusto ko pa kahit 1 para hindi naman kawawa in the future si baby atsaka iba pa din if may kapatid hehe.  Pero naku need to ipon ulit kc pricey din ang pagbubuntis ko

Hi mommies,

I have a 2 1/2 daughter na. as of now wala pa plan to have another due to many aspects that needs to be considered. We both work ni hubby, nakaka-guilty on my part kc di ko nman ma-aalagaan 24/7 if ever ang kasunod dahil nga i am working. Ang usapan kc nmen ni hubby, we will established our life as a family first, from then we will decide kung susundan nmen c reese. It is our choice talaga to have 1 kid muna, we are into family planning actually to make sure na wala muna talaga na susunod. Ang mahalaga nman masaya kame dun sa choice nmen, we are providing well for our daughter and we see she is growing-up so well, plus the fact that we are complete as a family na. ^^

[twinklemom22]

i have a 3 yo boy...parang ayaw ko pa muna ulit kase mahirap ang economy ngayon...plus daming things to consider. i'd want a girl pa sana, pero not in the near future. maybe before i hit the big 3-0

[Pretty_ava]

we have a 16 mos old baby girl, we decided na wag na muna sundan..hirap kasi, ang daming things to consider..hirap ng buhay now, mahal ng formula milk, up to now kasi formula milk pa rin sya.

siguro after 10 years pa bago masundun si baby.saka as much as possible hanngang 2 lang kami.

[ushushbie]

my son will turn 2 this december... still no plans on having another baby. mahirap mag alaga e. haha

[cassiopeia]

we have 1 year and 8 months old baby girl..we have no plans pa din na sundan baka after 4 to 5 years pa. gusto pa muna namin din siya ma enjoy and mahirap din kasi kung magkasunod ang anak ,,gusto ko muna makabawi din sa career and wife roles ko..para equal.

[nastee]

I have a 2 month old daughter and I have no plans to have another kid well, because financially hindi kakayanin although my parents are helping us, nakakahiya pa rin but sometimes when Im looking at my daughter na lumalaki na may mga thoughts na sumasagi sa isip ko na masarap yung may baby so gusto ko pa kasi masaya yung may baby sa bahay. but then, kawawa naman if we wont be able to provide them with their needs.

I have a son who recently turned 2 years old.
When I got pregnant with him ( he was my 4th pregnancy; the other 3 ended up in miscarriages), I told hubby and my OB that it was going to be my last pregnancy. Since I had a high risk pregnancy with all sorts of complications, I didn't want to undergo a new round of stress and emotional rollercoasters, plus all the meds that I had to inject and take daily, all the weekly check ups and ultrasounds... Needless to say, the pregnancy was difficult and the childbirth also was a bit traumatic for me since I also had complications from the spinal anesthesia from the CS ( I had difficulty of breathing right after the induction that they had to sedate me). So this is it for me.
Whenever friends and family (even si hubby, humihirit din minsan) tell me to have another one, I tell them, sige, if hubby is the one who will get pregnant, ha, ha...
Seriously though, at least now, I can shower my son with all the love and attention that I can give. Walang kahati...

[blabb]

Kakatuwa naman at mayroon na thread na ganito
I find it very educational and an eye-opener too.

My turn naman to share ...
We have a 2 year old girl and siya palang talaga sa ngayon. Si hubby wants na sundan pa si baby ... gusto niya baby boy. Ako naman ... ok lang kahit boy or another girl ... basta healthy and normal.

My hubby wants na sundan na sana si baby girl naman bago siya mag-2 ... kaso hindi natupad. Ako kasi ang may ayaw pa. Kasi sa akin masyado pang bata ang baby para sundan agad and mababawasan or ma-limitahan ang attention ko sa kanya. Medyo maselan kasi ako pag buntis eh. Tsaka ayoko pa talaga ... sabi ko kay hubby pag 3 or 4 nalang si baby ... at least malaki na siya at mas maiintindihan niya ang situation that Mommy has to be careful and takecared too kasi may baby sa tummy.

Kaso an inevitable thing happened to me last month. I am diagnose having Hep B .... sa ngayon magaling na ako pero under observation pa rin ng doctor for 6 months kaya bawal muna mag-conceive even "make love" kasi baka mapasa ko kay hubby [textspeak!] sakit through contact. So talagang ingat muna and wait for 6 months until talagang ok na me ulit - free from all sorts of laboratory testings and medication / vitamins.

Thank God kasi I am not pregnant before ako magkaroon nito kasi wawa naman si baby, if ever. One thing more, mahal ang laboratory follow ups ko at maintenance sa ngayon. Pero medyo nagdadalawang isip na rin me kasi natatakot ako for the baby ... baka mapasa ko sa kanya eh or baka magkaroon ng hindi magandang effect sa kanya.  Pero bahala na ... if God insists for us to have another baby then why not diba. We are very much gladly to accept the baby with open arms

Financially ... so-so naman ang standing 

[shy]

my main reason talaga sobrang nahirapan ako mag alaga...though kasama na din hirap ng buhay pero lahat naman malalampasan pero ang hindi ko talaga ma imagine yung bumalik ulit sa hirap ng stage ng pag aalaga newborn to 2.5 years old...medyo nakahinga ako when my daughter turns 3 talaga..

pero my daughter wants to have baby sister daw..at ayaw na nyang matawag na baby ate na daw sya 

[LOVEmyLIFE]

i believe having another child will not be an added load... rather, it will be an inspiration to do better...

I agree. Children are given by God to inspire parents and not to burden them.

My daughter is turning 6y/o January next year. I gave birth via CS so talagang advice ng doctor to wait for 3years bago sundan and of course financially incapabale kami lalo that time. After 3years medyo naging ok na ang life (nakapag-abroad kasi si hubby) but for me, ayaw ko muna that time. I just got the chance makabalik sa school and sobrang mahahati ang time ko lalo if magbababy na kami ulit. I just graduated last April but late last year pa, hinihiritan na ako ni hubby ng baby boy. Ayaw ko pa din sana kaya lang pagnakikita ko si hubby and how much he pleaded na gusto niya ng baby boy (uber gusto niya talaga), I gave in. But sadly, until now wala pa din. Nag-aabroad kasi si hubby and every 6months ang uwi. Nakakadalawang uwi na siya but still failed ang pag-attempt namin. Ayaw ko naman magbuntis because of gamot (but I got nothing against those, nataon lang na bata pa naman ako, I'm only 25, and takot ako sa malaking gastos. Hehe!) Sabi ko kay hub, kung ibibigay talaga Niya satin, kusang darating. We just have to be patient.

My son is already 9 years old and he's my only child. Im a single parent so mukang wala na siyang kasunod.

Minsan nakakaawa pag walang kapatid kasi wala siya makalaro sa bahay. Marami naman kaming neighbors na kids pero syempre hindi naman all the time pinpayagan ko siya lumabas. Pagumuulan or after 630pm dapat sa house na siya. Naiinggit siya sa friends niya kasi may kalaro pa rin sila even nasa loob na ng house (yung mga sis or bro nila). Ako naman hindi masaydong makapaglaro sa kanya kasi pagod rin ako after work so madalas niya sinasabi sakin sana may kapatid siya para may kalaro or kausap siya.  Malungkot siguro pag only child ka lang.

[cherslim1115]

[loveann]

[bjgem]

I'm a single parent..at isa lang din ang anak ko..ewan ko lang kung masundan pa  ..pero kung ako mas maganda parin sana kung may kapatid diba! kase kung sa pagtanda naten at kung ano man pedeng mangyari saten..may kapatid sila na kaagapay nila diba..based din sa experience ko na isa lang ang bata sa bahay namen tapos less exposure pa anak ko..delayed ang development nila..POV ko lang sis..
