Club Only Child Club

[bigsnoopy]

DD also only child… Think I join already but seldom appear… Hehehe…

[Glorfindel]

I just joined today I'm also a single-child parent. Although my son is just 15 months, it's soooo not likely that I'll have another! Reasons?


I'm 41 this year, DH is a year older. We tried for baby for 10 years before giving IVF a shot. Went through an op to correct a blockage in my cervix, three rounds of IVF implantation, one miscarriage, pre-eclampsia during my pregnancy and an emergency C-section (because my organs were starting to fail due to the pre-eclampsia) to have my boy.

Still, I'm thankful! I only had to go through one round of IVF egg-induction (so many injections I lost count) and extraction--I know of another lady who had to go through more than one round (shudder!)--my boy is healthy and my C-section wound healed fast and well.

Now that I have one, my relatives are leaving me alone. However, I need to qualify that I didn't have my son to please anyone. Children are a blessing from God, and I just wanted my portion

So, hi there other single-child parents! Nice to meet you

Welcome to the club, Glorfindel. My 3-turning-4 DD is also our only child. Although I conceived her naturally, I can empathise with you the desire and determination to have your own child...It's not easy to be a mature mum, kudos to you! :salute:

Welcome Glorfindel! Admire your persistence to concieve a child. It took a while too for me to concieve my DS. Was so happy last Aug when i know that i'm preggy again. Too bad, it was not meant to be. Still trying but seems like not much hope. I dun think i'm brave enuff like you to try IVF.

Lately my DS has been pestering me for a didi or meimei. I know he's lonely, can only tell him mummy will try harder.

[Glorfindel]

Tokidoki, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss last Aug. Don't give up trying if that's what you really want, just remember to enjoy the journey All the best!!

that's the same dilemma that i have... cant imagine babies crying sound, still scare when think of it haha... but when they smile or learn something new it melts all the hardwork away

Will be good to have at least 2 if you are up to it,
I have 2 misccarriages 6 months in between after DS is 4 yrs old,
so DH decide to stop, one of those high risk mummy.

Children are Angels from heaven :love:

[Angelight]

Agree with kiddo - children are gifts from heaven. It's not up to us to have as many as we would like to have. Of cos, some women are more blessed in that their bodies can conceive and give birth easily. So they can have 2 or more with no sweat. But others like all of us here just have to be content with our only 'bao bei'. :love:


Luckily DD never pesters me for a 'di di' or 'mei mei'. She is very happy to be only child, no need to share mummy and daddy's affection.

P.S.- kiddo, take care of your health. Too many miscarriages can be bad for the body. :hugs:
