My husband is gettin the snip, this will be my 3rd boy and I have a step son so 4 boys, I'm not overly keen on the idea as I'm only 26 and feel that in the future would like to try again for a girl, but my hubby is 11 years older than me and is made up with his sons, he has said more kids so the snip it is, :(

It seems like everyone stops after 3 or more...I am not sure whether or not I want to have my tubes tied after this one, she'll be my second girl. Maybe I should try for a boy? It's such a difficult decision.

I was signed up to do it, but finding out im having baby boy #2, i couldn't give up the dream of having a little girl. However, if my labor is anything like it was with my son and the epidural not working and feeling every little thing, i will sign those papers lol!  Plus it was going to cost us an additional $2500 for it to be done so i will go back to the iud.

I also went the alternative route and my husband was sterilized. For us, ligation was far too expensive, too long of a recovery and more hassle. A vasectomy is cheap, fast and takes MAYBE 2 days to recover. I was told pregnancy would be too difficult on my body to go through it again so it was an easy choice for us.

This will be my 4th baby and I'm getting my tubes tied. I have a 10 yr old girl, 8 yr old boy, and 1 yr old girl. This one is unknown. 4 is enough for me but i still question myself sometimes.
