Snip next week for dh...now doubting...should we go for 4?

[tizwas]

I am probably just nervous that this will be the end of an era...I have been the one wanting to have some permanent contraception as life now on even keel as my boys are 8, 5.5 and 2.5...have returned to part time work which has helped a lot with both finances and my general happiness levels. But now we are faced with it...I am having weird dreams about being pregnant again...am 37, had awful 3rd pregnancy with major SPD so why the hell am I feeling broody...? Any advice, words of reassurance etc...ta

i think youve probably answered your own question there hun
i think most people would have some sort of dout when it comes to a perminant form of contraception

if however this is something that your seriously thinking about then i would most definatly have a word with your hubby see how he feels
from your post i am assuming that the snip wasnt his idea and may be open to another child
but another child may upset the balance of things in the home or it could enhance it
nobody but you and hubs can make theis choice
good luck x

Could you wait another 6 months and see how you feel then? If you still feel you both want to go ahead at least you will be sure. My friend had the lady snip and was defiantly definitely unquestionably sure that it was the right thing for her, no doubts at all. I booked to see my Dr about it and was sent away for six weeks to think about it and be sure, I never quite got around to booking the appointment and the next time I saw my Dr a few months later I was pg with my 3rd. Not the plan but very glad it happened, on that basis I may not be the best person to reply to your OP. I am also post 35 and not great when pg.

If you've any doubts don't DC4 cost us over £6k after DH had the snip, I was very lucky ICSI worked first time around because I was only allowed one go at it.
