  Snip Snip... Reply Contact Dh and I decided that we were not going to be having anymore little ones since this is my third and his fourth child... We go in for the consultation on Sep.9th and then get the surgery done on Sep. 12th.... Is there anyone else out there that are thinking of doing the same??? I just can't stop thinking about thing... I don't know what it is but it seems like every time I get pregnant I just think to myself that I am so sore and FAT and I sometimes just want to FINALLY hold my baby and not have to go through that LONG..... Pregnancy. But it NEVER fails once I have my little ones and I am home just one day later eventhough I can't seem to get enough sleep I already want ANOTHER ONE!!!!! So what I can't get out of my head is what if that happends again this time?? DH will already have been sniped before this little on is even due... I don't know maybe it is just me.... But then again I have to stop and think my first two are only 11 months apart ( 1 & 2 Years old ) and this one will be 16 months apart from my youngest.... I know that it is already too hard for me now with DH working all the time and just feeling like I am a single mom won't help any if I do end up getting pregnant again for the fourth time.....

  Re: Snip Snip... Reply Contact Ashley, I'm in the same boat as you. This is my third and Dh is ready to get the old snip snip done too. I have managed to convince him to wait until after the baby is born to get the procedure done. I feel exactly the same as you. I have such rough pregnancies and I'm 32 and I think this has to be it. But at the same time, I know I'm going to go through the labor and delivery and come home and have mommy amnesia and want another baby soon enough! Especially since this is baby boy #3 and I'll want to go for the girl. But I promised DH that I wouldn't even ask for a fourth. Part of me wishes we'd win the lottery or something so that having another baby wouldn't seem so ridiculous. :) I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way!!!!

Reply Contact This is my third and final baby too, I have had a rough ride....as you all well know and I do not think a fourth rpegnancy and foremost a fourth c-section is in my future. We are waiting with the snip snip until ajanuary though.....

This is our third and would I love another, sure, but we can't afford another, so a tubal ligation it is. That being said, I work in infertility, so God knows, if anythign like the lottery should ever come our way, I know a good place for IVF!

  Re: Snip Snip... Reply Contact Has anyone considered getting a 10 year IUD instead of something so permanent? I have been thinking about it because i am still unsure. And like some of the pp I have had a rough pregnancy and some medical issues that worsn when i am pg but I till feel like I am not done...ya know? My cousin got her IUD in 2001 and said she has never had a problem with it. You can decide to have it removed before the alotted time if you choose to do so. IDK...it just seems like a a better option for those of us that are comtemplating another. I'd hate to have regrets years down the line.

  Re: Snip Snip... Reply Contact This is my third and final pregnancy/baby also. But just to be sure my husband and I have planned for me to get an IUD inserted for five years and then let him have a vasectomy at the end of the five years. As much as I would maybe like more I think that 3 is probably enough but since the procedure is so final (reversals are not highly effective) we thought we should wait. Now that we are closer to the due date, I am trying to enjoy every little thing but its hard not to get weepy at the idea that I will never feel another baby moving inside me after this November. I don't think there is any harm in waiting til the end of the year to get the surgery done. You guys can't do the deed til 6 weeks postpartum, and even then do you want to?

  Re: Snip Snip... Reply Contact My DH would really like to have his junk cut and tied and burned and whatever else they can do, but I've convinced him to let me get an IUD. This is our 2nd baby boy and I just can't help but think that in a few years I would really like to try for a girl. Maybe I'm crazy, LOL. I will probably end up with a 3rd boy and if I do then we are definitely going to be done.

Reply Contact DH is getting the old snip snip after this one is born.  At first I wanted him to wait, but as this pregnancy drags on & my dd with the terrible 2's I have decided that 2 really is enough for us.  DH is admit about having 2 only anyways.  Besides if we did have another it wouldn't be for like 5 more years & by then we'd have a little more freedom & wouldn't want to.
