• I want a second baby, but my husband says our daughter is more than enough for him.
• When I spoke to a therapist, she said we had to be more honest about why we wanted what we wanted.
• I've considered leaving, but instead, I found joy in relishing my daughter.

When I was married to my first husband, I learned during a routine gynecology exam that I had an issue that could make pregnancy and childbirth complicated.
