wondering what to do

[LadyDene525]

I am 30 and first pregnancy. I am considering having my tubes tied when I have my baby. Just curious on what others think. I lost my mom sept 2011 and really have no one to talk to about a things like this.

Just if anybody is interested...I had an IUD put in after my first. Then had it taken out 4.5 years later so we could have another child. I really thought it worked well and did not have any issues with it. If you are even only 1% hesitant, I would advise anyone to consider doing that because having the IUD removed is much more easier than having surgery...

I have been thinking a lot about it and I'm going to have it done. Thanks everyone for the comments they made me think and realize that it is not something to take lightly.

I have been married for 7 years and had 2 children....but then we devorced and i have meet someone else. I am 33 next week and am pregnant.... I am not suggesting that your relationship will not last...but life is difficult and we change our mind... I have seen many posts on this site when people had it done years ago and then changed tbeir mind....

I'm 27 and pregnant with my 2nd I only ever wanted one, I come from a fairly large family and have never felt the need to people the world.. I'm hoping to get fixed after this one. It really is just a personal decision that noone can really help you with. Think long and hard about it, think of all the possible pros and cons it's not a decision that you have to make overnight.. Good luck on figuring it out hun.

I am also 30 and expecting my first. We were not sure we could even have kids, it took almost 5 years to get knocked up! I am also planning on getting my tubes tied after having this one. I am more than overjoyed to be having a baby finally, but am pretty sure I only want the one.

I said I want only one baby but then I think when me and her dad grow old and pass she will have no one and be alone so I now definately want more than one x

Thanks everyone for your input

A good friend of mine had her tubes tied then reversed and still can not conceive. It brings her to tears every time she sees another baby. I wish she would've put more thought into it before the litigation. It makes me feel terrible and almost avoid her when I'm pregnant.

It's your choice, but I would hold off, once you have your child you are going to fall in love, and then in time you will want another and for your kid to have a sibling

It's your choice but, after my first I was 100 sure I didn't want anymore!! But watching my son grow up and the love i have for him... I'm now expecting my second  :) even.if you do get your tubes tide you can.always have the reversal but just might take you a little longer to conceive

I have been with my fiance almost 6 years. He has a son that is 8. He is totally fine with my decision. I really have ever only wanted 1 child. So I think as long as my Dr will let me I'm going to have it done.

I'm getting mine tied this time I'm pregnant with my second I tried to get the dr to do it after my first and they told me no

Are you for sure you don't want any more children? What kind of relationship are you in? Are they on board with your decision? It's hard to suggests when we don't know you or your circumstance, but I personally would wait because your hormones are all crazy at that time and you may change your mind. Once you have a baby you can get a long term birth control, like an IUD, and that will give you time to think about it more.
