repost from 3rd trimester

We are considering getting my tubes tied during my RCS. We've always said two and we are content with that, but I still have that 5-10% of me that goes back and forth, more because I just don't want to end this "chapter" in my life, but I know in reality we are done.

 

Anyone do it? Content/regret it?  Going through the same decision? What helped you do it or decide to what? 

If we decide then is not the time, then my H will be fixed  

 

Thanks!

**decide to wait, not what....sorry!

I'm not going to. We are done, but I don't want to shut that door completely.

DH got a vasectomy after our twins were born (they were just days short of 2m).  We both regret it (for different reasons).

DH got snipped after Carson - he was about 2 months.  I have since had a uterine ablation, so we are totally done.  I did have that nervous feeling like "what if . . ." I really had to think long and hard about burning my uterus, but I feel like I made the right decision now and don't regret either procedure.  I did a mental run through of what I would want if something happened to my family, and came to a place where I was pretty sure I would not have more kids in any given scenario.  Not something you really want to think about, but necessary, IMO.

Good luck with your decision!

I just had my third c section along with a having my tubes tied almost three weeks ago and at first I regretted it because the pain was a lot worse, for me, than with my other c sections. (My doctor explained that it was the scar tissue.) DH has three children from a previous marriage and now I have three and we know for sure we are done. No other regrets.

I got my done with my last C/S. Couple of reasons -we were in agreement we only wanting and were happy with 2 and I didn't want any after age 40... I was 39 when I had our 2nd LO. Lastly, I am miserable pretty much the whole time I'm pregnant. I start getting nauseous/throwing up usually around week 6 and it continues practically the whole pregnancy for me.

Despite knowing we didn't want anymore, I still sometimes have twinges of regret. Not because we want more, just know we can't have more I think. If I was a bit younger, I might have held off, but i knew I wanted to be done by 40. That's just my number. I know plenty, including my Grandmother that have kids well into their 40s.
