She was very young when it was done cause she was a young Mom but always said how sad it made her. She and my Dad divorced and she couldnt have kids with my step dad. </p> <p>My FIL is also snipped. I actually found out at a concert we all attended where they were handing out condoms. He just said "OH no no, I had an operation" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47619 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:19:45 +0000 tequiero21 47619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom might have tied her tubes after my brother, but because the doctors said it would be unsafe to have another child? something like that. either that or maybe when she got a hysterectomy? not sure of anyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47615 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:12:43 +0000 chopsuey 47615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FIL had a vasectomy. They have 5 kids (3 adopted, 2 biological!)<br /> DH wants to get snipped when we're done.. but I don't know how I feel about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47600 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:48:01 +0000 MsMamaBear 47600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of my aunts, the ones who had c-sections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47590 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:37:11 +0000 MaisyMay 47590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister talked a dr into tying her tubes. She has one son and doesn't want any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47548 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:28:24 +0000 heffalump 47548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> <p>It's funny what we find out now that we're older. I recently found out that my grandma wanted more kids but miscarried after my mom and couldn't have any more. To think I could have had more aunts and uncles if she were able to have it her way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47531 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:03:44 +0000 lilteacherbee 47531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had a c-section after my little sister was born. She was 33 and had 2 kids, so she knew she was finished having children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47529 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:01:52 +0000 twinmama 47529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a surprising number of people my age (late 20s) who have had one or the other. Some because their families were complete, some didn't want kids ever, at all.</p> <p>Personally, I think I'd be more likely to use temporary birth control for a few years after the babies are born...if infant twins aren't enough bc!....until we're 100% sure we don't want any more, and then probably opt for a vasectomy since it's so much less invasive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47523 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:57:35 +0000 yoursilverlining 47523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My co-worker had her tubes tied right after her last delivery (c-section). </p> <p>Several of our male friends have had vasectomies recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47508 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:47:27 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 47508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and one of my friends has their tubes tied. I think my aunt does as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47507 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:46:57 +0000 MamaMoose 47507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few friends who have had their tubes tied. Both of them knew they were done and they had c-sections and it's apparently pretty easy for the doc to do the procedure while they're in there getting the baby out. But vasectomies are much more common because it's less invasive and more reversable than a woman having her tubes tied. I know lots of people who have done that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47506 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:45:52 +0000 prettylizy 47506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had her tubes clamped. Apparently it's not a full cut of the fallopian tube, and it's easier to reverse than a full out tube tie.</p> <p>I know quite a few men who have had vasectomies, I'm pretty sure that is the route we'll go for DH when we're done having babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47500 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:40:37 +0000 Boogs 47500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tubes: My mom and MIL.</p> <p>Vasectomy: A couple of uncles. One after his divorce because he said he never wanted to be trapped my another witch again! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-anyone-who-has-had-their-tubes-tied#post-47496 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:39:18 +0000 Rubies 47496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I JUST found out yesterday that my mom had her tubes tied right after I was born. I was so sad! I remember BEGGING my mom for a younger sibling when I was a kid. When I found out yesterday, I said, "So, all that begging for no reason! I had no chance for a little brother or sister!"</p> <p>Do you know anyone who had their tubes tied? Vasectomy? </p>
