I had heard from people that having both at the same time was way worse recovery wise than just a csection. But then I was told that my hospital may not even do tubal ligations because it's a Catholic hospital(not 100% sure of this, just what I heard, but it makes sense if they wouldn't), so I would have been opened up a 2nd(3rd?) time. I went for a Mirena, and DH is getting the old snip </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146755 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:57:43 +0000 Espion 1146755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: it shouldn't be that long. Maybe 10 more minutes at most. You can ask the OB exactly what they do (clip with plastic clips, cut and tie, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146740 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:45:14 +0000 Dandelion 1146740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: @Espion: That's why I'm considering it...If I'm getting a c-section anyways, might as well get it done while they're in there, especially since my insurance will pay for it 100%. That way DH doesn't have to go in for a procedure. I do wonder how much longer it makes the c-section process, though. I know I'm gonna be impatient to hold my baby, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146739 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 13:44:06 +0000 Beebug 1146739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I won't post my Mirena story here, lol.</p> <p>I will likely go back on depo long-term when done babies. Anyone I know however that had the ligation had no issues or complications and were happy to have it done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146679 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 11:10:46 +0000 Espion 1146679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: Heh, I totally understand! You're in the know, then. FWIW, my sister would never have done it outside of a c-section either. The fewer times inside my belly, the better.<br /> I just couldn't resist the mini-PSA (although, the ladies on here are intellectual enough to not need it). I know too many people who thought that it's a simple clip and 100% reversible. Those little tubes usually get the full torture treatment: cut, burned, clipped and tied! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146660 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 11:00:17 +0000 erinpye 1146660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: I get that, but as I'm not electing a c-section, in my mind it makes more sense for my husband to have a quick, minimally invasive procedure vs. me having a major surgery. Especially since I'm the one pushing out the babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146658 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:57:48 +0000 Espion 1146658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: A vasectomy isn't *that* reversible. The odds of pregnancy go down pretty significantly the further out you are. (I know there are all those billboards, but they are making money on hope. Awful thing.)</p> <p>My sister had hers clipped at her last c-section. Apparently, she could have the clips removed in the future if she wanted. No complications, healing issues or side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146654 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:53:37 +0000 Dandelion 1146654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I'm only considering because I'll already be having the c-section...I wouldn't opt to do the surgery without them already needing to be in there.</p> <p>@cascademom: I read about that, too. That could be another possibility.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: That's a good point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146639 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:41:08 +0000 cascademom 1146639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After our second in the future, I may do a procedure where they block your tubes. My brother recently got the snip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146503 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 07:21:49 +0000 MsMamaBear 1146503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had one but my mom did, after he c-section with my little sister. No problems.</p> <p>I have the Mirena, but I WISH I could get my tubes tied. My LO will be the only one, so no going back inside. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146352 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:40:37 +0000 yin 1146352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: Same here. We've already had the discussion, and DH is willing to get a vasectomy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146288 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:20:07 +0000 pui 1146288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't ever get my tubes tied, unless perhaps during a c-section. I wouldn't ever opt in to major surgery I don't have to do.</p> <p>My mum had her tubes tied and it was fine. She had around a week of recovery time and no complications at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146256 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:42:05 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1146256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I knew a family that did that and ended up with a surprise baby. Reminded me of the Jurrasic Park line "nature finds a way"! </p> <p>I think either Mirena or tubal would be fine. If nature is getting through one of those, I figure it's meant to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146180 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:22:58 +0000 mrbee 1146180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might consider doing both... tubes tied and a vasectomy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146151 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:06:52 +0000 autumnlove 1146151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: is it reversible?! I'm intrigued...I don't want to get my tubes tied! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146141 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 19:00:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 1146141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there ever comes a time when we do NOT want any more kids....I think DH will get a vasectomy instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1146051 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:35:31 +0000 singingbee 1146051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: my mom had hers tied after my youngest sister was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145992 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:56:24 +0000 BananaPancakes 1145992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ill be getting it done if we have another child, since ill be scheduling a c-section. I like the fact that its permanent. My mom had hers done during my twin brothers c-section and she's never had any issues with it.</p> <p>ETA: I tried getting Mirena and they couldn't get it placed. I have no plans to ever try that again...it was terrible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145982 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:45:08 +0000 MsMini 1145982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are far fewer complications with a tubal (if done during a c-section) then with an IUD. Tubal ligation is also extremely effective as BC, there will always be cases where BC fails, unless your BC of choice is 100% abstinence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145969 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:29:57 +0000 Bookish 1145969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: I want to do the same. I like the idea of an IUD, but I'm 100% sure that I don't want another after our 2nd. I hope you get some more responses, because I'm really curious of people's experiences with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145967 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:28:01 +0000 erinpye 1145967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone who had a baby after having her tubes tied...it's major surgery and I wouldn't do it- I'm pushing for DH to get the quick, reversible snip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145864 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:22:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 1145864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My former coworker has her tubes tied at the time of her second c-section an never complained about any issues. She was back at work 6 weeks after delivery and was 100%! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145844 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:11:37 +0000 Dandelion 1145844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: I've heard of this happening! Were there risks along with that? (I know Google can tell me that, but first hand experience is worth a lot more to me.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145840 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:09:42 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1145840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL had a post tubes-tied surprise baby (at 39, got them tied at 29), hence SIL is 16 years younger than my DH ... That's my main reason to go with Mirena instead, I don't trust it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145831 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:04:15 +0000 MamaBehr 1145831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what DH wants me to do, but I don't want to! For me it is too permanent, and I'm only 30. I would rather get the Mirena. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tubes-tied#post-1145829 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 15:02:05 +0000 Dandelion 1145829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm about 90% certain I'll be scheduling a c-section at the end of this pregnancy. I'm also 100% certain that this will be my LAST pregnancy. I just don't like being pregnant. We're planning on adopting any future babies after this, if we want more.</p> <p>So, I'm debating getting my tubes tied during my c-section. If not, I'll get a Mirena for sure.</p> <p>I'm not worried about the permanency, but any side effects that could come from it. Of course, I'll be Googling, but I was wondering if any of you have gone through it and can give me some experience? </p>
