DH wants to get "fixed" after this baby is born. But for some reason I dont want him to do it. We say we are done having kids after Nolan is born...and that is really how I feel now. But like you said, when Brady and Nolan are older I could see myself wanting 1 more. Such a hard decision!
I am getting my tubes tied in 1.5 weeks. I feel very confident in my decision and we are definitely done with 2 kids. But if you can't say you feel 100% sure, then don't do it. Your DH can always get fixed later down the road very easily.
FWIW - I SWORE I was 100% done. ?I begged for a tubal during my section but couldn't get it done because I was delivering at a Catholic hospital. ?I was very angry that I couldn't get it done during my section.
I was terrified of 2U2. ?
?
2 days after Jace was born I wanted another one and have ever since.
Had I gotten the tubal I think I would have had major PPD.
We probably won't ever have an other. ?I'm probably not physically capable of conceiving again. ?But I'm glad I haven't 100% closed the door on my fertility yet. ?I'm just not ready.
No one is more shocked by this than I am.?

Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
I am getting my tubes tied during my repeat c-section and every time I go to the dr's he asks me if I am still positive I want it done. Every once in a while a thought will cross my mind about what would happen if god forbid we lost one but then I decide that is in the hands of God and it is what it is.
For us it is a financial decision as much as a decision that we only want two kids. We don't like the idea of an odd number of kids (someone is always left out) so one more means two more which means a minivan, larger house, etc....And since this pregnancy was unexpectedly earlier than we planned we don't want any chance of it happening again.

Re: My mind was all made up - re: getting the tubes tied..
If your not sure then I would not do it.
