Tubes tied?

I got it done! I’d say the regret feeling for me comes from the part where it’s irreversible and that’s why I was so conflicted on if I should have it done or not. I still wonder if it was the right choice but I know I only wanted one baby, so I think it’s just my hormones speaking 😅 I know it’s the right choice for me because I’ve never wanted to be on birth control, and I’m also 35 this year so there’s that as well.
I had my tubes removed during my second c-section. Made sense as I knew I didn't want an unplanned pregnancy, not that it was likely as we have had to do IVF for both children from unexplained infertility, but I didn't want to go on birth control as pushed by my OB. Noticed no difference in recovery. Also, no issue with future IVF pregnancy because tubes aren't needed!
I got mine done after my twins!! Sometimes I wonder if I should have tried for a boy but we could always adopt a little boy.
I've had my tubes tied on my 4th baby 4th c section ... I knew I was done but I still found the bit hard that it's irreversible but I'm glad I've had it done My children are nearly 15 12 both boys ... 22months and 9 months both girls ... I would like to have a bit of time to my self when older to be me ... Although saying that I love being a mum but it was the right choice for me xx
My sister had her tubes tied after her second c-section. Her first born passed away 3 weeks later and she was left with her 3-week old and the inability to conceive again. I know this is a rare incident but the struggle she is going through now to conceive through IVF is real.
I had my 2nd child 5 weeks ago c section and got my last tube removed (lost one few years before to an ectopic) I can say i know for my health it was the best decision for me but the thought of this is my last baby has been really hard to deal with. Also to have tubes removed later on down road that surgery isn't a hard recovery just 3 small incisions. So just be 100% sure that's what you want because to have it done later on down the road would be an easy procedure.
Got mine removed during my c section. I’d say if you have regrets you are not done, I am happy with my decision and wouldn’t change it.
Imo if you’re even 10% uncertain you shouldn’t go for it
I had my tubes tied during/after my 4th c-section. Even though I knew I was done having kids, it was hard for me to be okay with it.
