Ok so it's official...

No more babies for us we've discussed it and we are having no more babies DH had his Vasectomy this morning...financally we can only afford the three we have so that was the decision maker for us right there. I was all fine with it when we discussed it but last night I started to look at the pregnancy pictures and knowing he was getting the Vac the next morning I was in tears..I was so sad thinking I'll never be pregnant again, never be able to feel it move or kick inside again my Dh must have thought I was nuts and said "cry all you want I'm not cancelling my appointment tomorrow" ..not that I asked him to.

For the ones who have decided that this is it...was it something you knew for sure and was like no big deal or were you a wreak trying to decide???


Well I wanted to share some pregnancy pictures with ya all..I remember at the end of my pregnancy I was like I'm never doing this again I was sooo uncomfortable and could barely walk, lay down ,do up my shoes it was awful..but now I miss it like CRAZY all of a sudden...I'm guessing it's just a natural feeling and will eventually go away..

Well thanks for letting me whin/vent...

If you have some pregnancy photos you'd like to share I'd love to see how big bellied everyone else got!!!

Oh thanks for sharing!! I love your pics. I was going to have my tubes tied at my Csection but opted not to. My Dr. said ther will come a time when you just know you dont want anymore and I will get it done then. But according to my mom and other women I know you just never "know" if you are done. Anyway you did the right thing for your family and remind Dh if it ever comes up again he can get a reversal!! LOL Okay sorry you are sad today hang in there you will be alright!

 

At the time it's hard to imagine ever "missing" being THAT pregnant...but strangely enough...I do! It is a great memory. I am sure there are a ton of mixed emotions knowing you're done with this phase of your life. But now you're moving into a new phase that will be even better!

Sometimes I miss being pregnant too. My pregnancy was pretty easy. I had my tubal ligation 6 weeks after the twins were born. They are my only children. Sometimes I wonder if I should have it reversed, but we just can't afford more than two children. Besides, the chances of having twins again are pretty high for me. But I'm right there with you on the wondering thing and missing being pregnant.

 

love the pics!

I completely understand what you are feeling. Even though aspects of pregnancy can be awful, is there anything like that feeling of creating new life? Of the possibility the miracle, the astonishment of feeling someone(s) kick INSIDE you, knowing they will come out and be their own person.

When i went through my closet and sorted out my maternity clothe to give to a pregnant friend i cried; i had an awful, miserable pregnancy but the thought that this is IT made and still makes me very sad.

 

Great pictures! I had that feeling before I had the twins, that something was still missing, that I was not done, even though we had said we were. I can tell you that I had a tubal with the twins and I have absolutely no regrets! I finally feel complete. I'm sorry you are feeling sad. :hug99:

 

I too had a tubal with the twins. But we did IVF for all of our children. I have an older DD too. So the possibility is still out there but I did not want a surprise pregnancy with already having 3 children. So we opted for a tubal. We are done (especially if you ask DH). But I too miss being pregnant just a bit and I did have an ups and downs pregnancy. But I am excited to move on to a different stage other than the baby stage some day. Whenever I start thinking about not being able to have more babies, I think about a beach vacation and running on the sand with all 3 of my kids!!
