I decided not to have a second child and have no regrets. The benefits are just too good.

I didn't plan to have an only child. In fact, I was pregnant twice. The first time, I miscarried. The second time, I had a healthy pregnancy that resulted in a perfect baby boy, but for the first six months of that pregnancy, I struggled mentally. After a loss, the second pregnancy didn't seem real.
