tubes tied

I am 23 and getting my tubes tied after this pregnancy. I have my reasons, and would rather not discuss. However, do you know anyone that has their tubes tied? How were periods? Was their weight gain? Were they still able to breastfeed? Anything weird happen?

My mom had hers done and no issues, my sister in law just got hers done last year and says she has pain when she has her period and never has before. She acted like the pain was horrible but everyone is different you may not have any problems.

My Dr told me the last time I was pregnant I should get my tubes tied. He said another pregnancy would risk my life but we had five girls and my husband wanted a boy. I am being very careful this time around and am now on bed rest for different reasons. If you think it is the best thing for you then you should go with your gut and at least you have the support of your husband. Good luck.

ashes,  I sort of sense there are people in your life who are trying to make you feel bad about this decision.  Frankly,  when you posted this I thought I don't know any doctors who will do an elective tubal on a 23 year old who is healthy and can do more pregnancies.

But since that's not the case here,  and you have health issues that determine you shouldn't be pregnant again,  sounds like this is a wise decision and I doubt you will regret it.

Best wishes.

Most states will do as long as you are over 21 and have more than one child. Honey hope it works out. If it is what is best for you listen to doc hubby and yiur heart.
