I was wondering if there is any way I could get in touch with other moms that are choosing to have only 1 child, in order to find support? Choosing to have only 1 child is not the norm in my community and though my husband and I are confident it’s the best choice for us and our family, it would be nice to know I’m not alone in the world. I just don’t know where or how to find the right group/blog/website. Even pointing me in the right direction would be super appreciated. Thanks!

I hope this helps! http://postpartumprogress.com/postpartum-progress-private-forum
