If you are following along with my blogs, thus far, then you have probably no question in your mind as to why I decided to have a tubal ligation in 2010. I was only 23 yrs old then and it seemed like the appropriate thing to do. Here are some pieces of advice they won't give you, before you get it done...
1. Someday, in the future, say 3-5 years or so when you meet, the right guy for you and you two may want children.. it costs about $8,000 to get a tubal reversed and there is no guarantee that you can have another baby. Insurance will not pay for this. You must pay this BEFORE the doctor does the procedure.
2. No one tells you that it will make you feel like less of a woman. Like you can't do exactly what nature intended you to do. Like you can't do exactly what you were put on Earth to do as a woman.
3.No one will tell you when you get "baby fever" that every baby you see, makes you sad. Makes you feel in adequate. Makes you jealous of other moms. Makes you hate moms, who you deem, as not worthy of their babies.
4. No one tells you that you will still have your menstrual cycle. And it messes it up, bad. So sometimes you are early, sometimes you are late, etc.
5.If you are married and think that 100% for sure you don't want anymore kids, still don't do it. Because unfortunately sometimes people get divorced and re married and may or may not want another child.
6.Sometimes when you get gas, you also get hopeful that you are miraculously pregnant. Sorry just isn't likely.
7. I guess no one prepared me for the mental torment it could give me one day. I just said well, I am 23, with 5 kids and probably 0 chance of meeting Mr.Right, so I give up. I wish they would have just given me the shot or the IUD or something else, anything else.
8. Look up Tubal Ligation Syndrome on google. It is possible and I have these symptoms sometimes too.
Thanks for reading.
