Tell me your experience of having your tubes tied.

[Mommabear20]

Just that really.
I'm currently 9 weeks with my 2nd (very planned) child and this is my last pregnancy.
DH and I have jointly agreed that if we decided to add to our family in the future, we will be adopting. My last pregnancy, and now this one so far, have been very physically hard for me and I'm desperate to not find myself in this position again.
I know many will say that DH having the snip would be the best option, however he is open to having more biological children but understands and supports my decision to not put myself (my body) through another pregnancy, and as amazing as our marriage is, I'm very aware that things can change and it may not work out in the long run, or something could happen to me and I hate the feeling that I could prevent him from having more children if he wanted to in the future.
I've had a look online but only found very clinical information and would love to hear real stories from real people that have gone through this and can give me a little insight. The good and the bad :)

Anyone??

I approached the subject with gynae whilst pregnant with my last. I was 36 and had 3 high risk pregnancies. I didn't want any further risk sand was sure it was right for me.
The consultant point blank asked my husband why he wouldn't take the responsibility for it, made it clear it as better for male etc
Anyway long story short I had tubes tied during c section. It was made clear I could change my mind at any point during.
I have a tinge of brooding which makes me sad but ultimately it is the right thing.
I can't comment on pain/recover as I obv had c section recovery.
Hope that helps

Thanks 😊
I can definitely see the pros of the guy going for the op over a woman but I just can't stand the idea of stopping DH possibly having more children in the future.
I might mention it to my midwife next time I see her and take it from there.

I had my tubes clipped when I had womb ablation.

It was incredibly painful, instead of 6 hour discharge I was still in recovery and stayed in for 2 nights. I got an infection in one of the keyhole sites.

Had 2 weeks off work and another week half days.

No regrets though as I got my life back.

Same as randomess! It was not pleasant.

I have got my life back though, no hideous periods etc.
