Sterilisation during c section

Has anyone else had this done? I’m being sterilised after my elective c section, just wondered what actually happens during and afterwards, and if it ever accidentally reverses?

How did you elect for this? Was it as simple as just letting for midwife/consultant know? I didn’t know this was an option x

on my 28 week appointment for my date of my c section they asked if I wanted to have it, it was something I was considering I didn’t know they offer it I literally thought it was if you had medical problems ect! But it’s my 3rd baby maybe that’s why I’m not sure xx

I am supposed to be having it done during my c-section I said from the day I met my consultant I wanted it I had to fight them for them to accept as im only 27 but this is my 3rd and 4th baby with a complicated pregnancy , I was told I can have it done on the NHS when I have my c-section if there is no complications, but if I wanted it to be reversed it would have to be private and there is a small chance for it to be reversed, I was also told having the tubes removed are more likly to be successful then having them tied xx

why did you have to fight ? I’m only 23 and this is my 3rd baby I have no health issues and they offered it to me whilst filling out the consent form for my c section ? I’m having the one where they cut and tie my tubes xx

Because they kept saying I'm still young and about I may regret it but also because my pregnancy is high risk I also have quite a few health issues so they don't think it is gonna be simple, even now they keep saying there are other types of birth control but I became pregnant on birth control this pregnancy so am determined to have it done.

I’ve had mine done 2 weeks ago and it’s so tender. My C-section itself stopped hurting after 3-4 days but my stomach above and around my belly button is really tender. And if I do to much I find my belly swells a little.
During though the delivery your baby and then take your uterus out and cut away enough of your tubes so that they have less of a possibility of regrowing/attaching. And then place everything back. Or at least this is what they did for me.

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
