I posted this on parenting but maybe some mommies-to-be who are considering it over here can give me some advice/share their experiences.

LONG

For BTDT moms who had their tubes tied, especially those who chose to do it after c/s with their last child.

How did you ladies reach your tube tying decision? For those that decided not to what made you decide not to?


BACKSTORY
DH says he's defintiely done with DS#2 (due 10/4). DS#1 and DS #2 will be 18 months apart. I'm 35 yrs old and DS will be 3 when DS #2 is born. When we found out we were pregnant with #2 we both adamantly agreed that if it was a I'd definitely get my tubes tide. However I'm pregnant with another . When we found out it was another I went on the fence about tying my tubes but DH still wants me to get it done at my c/s with #2. I go back and forth. Lately I've been leaning towards getting my tubes tied...mostly because I don't want to have another baby in the next 2-3 years (which would put me at 37-39 for a next baby) and because I really don't want to go through the infant/toddler stage into my 40's. But then I think of how final getting my tubes tied will be and what if we change our mind, etc.

Yesterday I went for my 30 week appt and I spoke to my doc about it and he wants me to be 100% sure but that if I'm not my other options would be an IUD (he won't put me on hormonal BC because of my age and other risk factors).

Just figured I'd tap my resources here and see how everyone made their decision. I kinda just need to talk it out and listen to others experiences. BTW I wouldn't have my tubes tied after my c/s because it requires general anethesia and I did not have a good experience with it. DH doesn't want to go for a vasectomy because he's never had any kind of procedure (wimp )

Thank you for reading if you've gotten this far
