Should women quit after first delivery?

            Is it convenient that women should or should not quit after giving birth to their first child? For my opinion, I strongly agree that women should quit after their first delivery.  Women should quit after first delivery because economic crisis, heavy burden to raise a child and health issue.

            Lately, our country is facing an economic crisis where many financial problems are raised in most of the family. Therefor women should quit delivery after their first child was born to reduce the cost of living of one family. From a report which was compiled by Centre for Economics and Business Research, it show that from an average family to raise a child the cost is around RM218,000 which was a surprisingly  big number for an ordinary family to handle. So, a child in a family is more than enough to handle.

            Secondly, it would probably be a huge burden for a family just to raise only a child and the burden will surely increase to raise another child. So, to reduce the burden that would cause problem to the family women should quit after first delivery. This is because nowadays most of mother will be working and don’t have enough time to nurture their child. They would probably sent their child to nursery or kinder garden which cost a lot of money. Hence, it will bring more burdens to the family just to pay for their child’s nursing bills.

            Lastly, for an average woman that gives birth to more than one child the chances of getting breast cancer is much higher if compare to women who only give birth to one child and this was proven by a research recently made by World Health Organization. Breast cancer is a chronic disease which is fatal for anyone who has it and till today and there is no cure for it. How can a child being look after and grow up like a normal child if their mother was severely sick. This illness will also cause death to the mother and the child would probably lack of parental care. So , to reduce the risk of getting such illness women should quit after the first delivery.

            As my conclusion, prevention is better than cure and women can prevent this entire problem from happening just by quitting after their first delivery.
