My parents did not choose to have only one child.
My mom found out when I was 10 years old that her uterus was tilted and was pretty much natural birth control. Then when she had female issues and had her hysterectomy when I was 21, the surgeon asked her if she had any children. She said she had a 21 year old daughter. His reply... consider her your miracle because I don't know how you ever got pregnant with the way your uterus was positioned. He wondered if it was repositioned when she had me but couldn't say one way or another for sure. (This surgery would have been in the late 70's).
Also remember I am 65 years old so pregnancy and giving birth was so different than it is today.
