| Hi J_9, thanks for the advice. To answer your question I had two children before my tubal ligation. My youngest daughter was a year and a half when i had the surgery. Both of my pregnancies were very hard. With my first daughter I developed a DVT in my leg and went on Heparin for the rest of my pregnancy. With my second daughter I continued with blood thinning injections, for fear of another clot, had no problems whatsoever until my water broke at 30 weeks which she was born 5 days later. Due to an incompetant cervix, I had a leep done a year prior to becoming pregnant with her.
The doctors didn't advise me to "not" have another but my risk of having another premie would have been about 75% chance. And i would have been put on bed rest starting at 4 months. So being young I was really scared that it could happen again, I elected to have it and my doctors didn't talk me out of it. Actually one of them was pleased with my decision.
But i do understand what you mean, I at the time was a bit surprized that they didn't try talking me out of it. Now that im older and would love to have another one with my fiancee im more able to take the percautions that come along with it..ie. bed rest and such. Thankyou so much for answering my post and the advice. |
