Not to give birth again because of her health. But she went on to have 2 more, Donald and his younger brother. However, she did become very ill, at one point the family was told that she might die, so she was hospitalized during Donald's earliest years and the only one available to take care of the younger children was his eldest sister who was only about 12. The father wasn't interested in small children. Mary, who is a clinical psychologist, thinks that could explain some of his issues. When he became a teenager he became so incorrigible that his parents sent him away to military school.
