Tubal Ligation

Has anyone had their tubes tied? How old were you? I’m only 22 and my Husband and I have agreed it would be best for me to get mine done. When I had my son via csection, they told me that if I were to have another child or a few my body would shut down and we would lose our lives.

I got my tubes tied before i left the hospital when i had my now toddler. Best decision ever, we don’t have to use any type of birth control/condoms. Soooooo nice lol oh i was 31!

I have mine planned during my c-section. Im pregnant with my second and my husband and I don’t want anymore. Curious to see how it went for others.

I just had mine tied , we had our baby girl on the 2nd . This is our 4th so I thought it’s about time for me to “retire my insides”.

Lots of pressure but nothing really hurts because of the meds . I just took Ibuprofen during the healing process . So if you do it you won’t have to worry . They’ll make sure you’re comfortable no matter what your pain tolerance is !

Thinking about this but read how it could make your sex drive disappear... not worth it. Any experience?

I had mine done after my 3rd child was born. I was 29. They did it laparoscopic so just 2 - 1/2 inch scars. I have had no issues and the recovery was nothing and I have had no issues with sex drive/hormones.

My mother was 35, and it was the 90s. They went through the naval, and it was out patient. She was sore less than a week. I figure if medicine was that advanced 2 decades age, it must be even easier now.

I just had my tubes cut n tied cuz I had my four sons within a year of each other n i had two c-sections due to my last’ two sons prematurity

I wanted to after my 3rd son was born (29) i ended up leaving my partner and now it’s something I’m unsure of

Did any of you need a consent or whatever?

I’m 34... I just had my tubes tied during my 3rd C-section

Dont.. just dont. I got my tubes tied at 25 and am wanting to undo them. Its caused me so many female issues that I never had before. I'll be getting a reversal asap.

So I’m going to put this here. I don’t have both tubes. My uterus only has one so I’m not sure what they will do with that

I’m scheduled to get my tubes removed permanently in 3 weeks. Two girlfriends have complications and now I’m afraid I will have some horrible side effects. At this point I’m second guessing is it even worth it? Simply because I’m 33 and have 3 perfectly healthy babies that was delivered naturally with no complications. I’m finding why remove something simply because I don’t want any more kids.

I'm 26 had mine done last June after having my 4th in March mine are completely removed recovery was not bad but periods became irregular and severe cramping and cyst on both my ovaries and now my monthly twice a month I am about to go to the dr on the 13th to see what can be done I do not advise it

Is this normal parent child bonding to you?

Overheard my husband and his brother discussing their next trip to forbidden planet… and he tells him he plans on bringing our 1 year old along. Now I don’t know a whole lot about it but from what he’s explained before it’s a fiction/ fantasy comic/ book/ toy store. He’s always said it’s packed and he is in there for ages. Not sure why they’d think that’s a fun thing for a 1 year old to be dragged to, as well as the fact that our child has never been exposed to any cartoons, screens, fiction books etc and won’t be any time soon. She would have no clue what she’s doing there and will get bored quick.
I’ve spoken to him before about pushing his interests onto our children, understandable when it’s sharing a toy or short book or pictures that seems normal, however I’ve had to address him in the past regarding purchasing silly items to only take a quick picture or video of child with it and share it with his family making out that our child is interested in or even sometimes obsessed with them just because she’s holding them and looking at it (what kid wouldn’t 🙄). He’s been doing this kinda thing since she was a baby, she’ll crawl and he’d record her crawling to one of his toys and plaster it on his family group about how much she likes the toy now… as if she had a choice in the matter when it’s purposely put in front of her while all other toys removed, y know? I know he thinks I’m being extra but I’m an educator, I value teaching children and babies to explore appropriately, fostering their interests and following their lead. I feel my husband just wants her to be dragged into such places or ideas so he can be performative, and from my observation he only bonds with his siblings over avengers, Pokémon etc etc because they were glued to the TV and YouTube as kids and still are. I feel strongly about exposing her to these things at such an early age but I don’t think he understands. I totally get wanting to share your interests with your child but I mean just because I love makeup, I’m not about to show my child tutorials and get her a kit. I want him to notice what she loves doing, and work with that. Not just what brings him pleasure. His style does not feel natural or appropriate to me.

Is this insanely overpriced? I posted on my local support group for parents of kids with disabilities asking about summer camps....

I got a message about a daycare that will be holding 3 different summer programs that run for 3 days in the last week of July for 450 dollars per child. 450 dollars for 3 days of "camp" seems like a rip off to me especially being for kids with disabilities???

Would this make you worried gym daycare.

I was showing my 3 year old how to use the toilet at the daycare at my gym. We go in and I notice there’s also a door inside the single restroom on the other side. I figured it was a utility closet. As I’m walking around the gym I realize the daycares restroom is double acess. It’s also the toilet for employees that work the front desk on the other side.
Like wtf? How would they know if a small child walked out the the other door. And how do they prevent random weirdos from coming in the restroom when a small kid is in there because you know half those kids don’t use the locks. Absolutely insane design. So now I make both my kids go when I get there and showed them how to use the locks every time.

Hey girlies ...

I'm going from a working mama to a stay at home Mama. And I feel like I'm not gonna be able to deal with it. How does you stay at home Mamas keep your sanity? Give me advice... I feel like I'm going to be bored like while the kids are at school and fall into depression. But I want to adapt... And put myself on schedule....hmmm give me some advice y'all 🤔🥹❤️ how do you cope ?

How do you handle finances as a part time worker and your spouse makes significantly more than you and holds it over your head?

So frustrating that I’m not allowed to spend money but he flippantly can whatever he wants. I am the default parent, and just because I don’t get a paycheck doesn’t mean it’s not work I deserve a reward from. I feel so alone.
