    Well, I had the Essure procedure done yesterday. It's a tubal occlusion that requires no incision and is irreversible. I am happy to be moving on to the next phase of our lives, but it's also a little sad that I will not be having any more babies. I know it's the best decision for our family though. I'll have to find other people's babies to play with!

    :hug99: I know it's hard to close a chapter in your life, but think of all the new chapters you will be writing! :)

    Yes, it's true that a new chapter is opening but - also completely natural to mourn the end of one. Whenever people say, cheerfully "oh, you have two, so you're done" my reaction is 'well, no, i'd have more if i could, so BACK OFF, BUCKO!!!!!

    Don't be surprised if you find yourself thinkng about it; psychologically it's a very big deal. Sounds like you are very clear that it's the best decision for your family -but that doesn't make it any less difficult. Big hug.

    I had my tubes done right after I had Emily and Zachary. It is kind of strange knowing that I will never feel a baby move inside of me again, but like you I know it was the best thing I could do for my family. Big Hug to you.

    Thank you so much for understanding and for your kind words. I feel like I am mourning something, but I am also happy too. It's strange. I love the ladies on this website!
