Anyone Mourn Your Husband's "BIG V"?

I guess I just need to vent a bit. My husband has an appointment Monday to speak with his doctor about getting snipped. We have a beautiful son. It took so long to bring him into this world, and I lost so many on my journey to do so, I was content having just him. That he was all I wanted, needed. But when my husband proclaimed he was finally getting it done (he has talked about it for 5 yrs). I was a bit shocked and hurt. It is very final to me. I still have all of my equipment, but it can't handle another pregnancy. So I guess I just feel perminent in our situation. I am playing to much into this, or is this saddness common? Thanks for listening to me ramble. F.

What can I do next?

My husband had his big "V" a couple months after our second child was born. Sometimes I wish we could've had another one, but the last one was almost 10lbs, so I don't think I could do it again. Plus, I am one of those women who hated being pregnant. Other than that, having the big V is great, we never have to wonder from month to month if I am pregnant. Good luck with your decision.

In my book, it is incredibly normal. I have 2, and don't want any more, well, I want 10 more, but that isn't a possibility. None the less, it still upset me terribly when the big V came about. It is so final, but you just have to look at what you have and be thankful. I'm not sure if I helped or not, but you aren't alone.

YES! I have two and we decided that we did not want more but I still always wonder if it was the right decision. My head knows it is the smart thing to do but my heart hasn't caught up yet. It is final and sad, but if it is best for you, your health and your family then I think you will be ok with the decision. Good luck.

Your not alone in this my husband just had that done and even though we have 3 children theres some thing about the finality of it all. Even though we didn't want anymore children when you "can't" have anymore it's sad. I cried for 2 days after it was over. So don't worry it gets better the first week or so after is tough but just remember God gave you a wonderful gift in your son. Hope this helps.

Im still sad about not having anymore babies. We have 3 and are very young so we could of always had more down the road. He was "snipped" when our youngest was 2 weeks old and its just so sad to me to know ill never get to be preggy again. So you are definitely not alone.

I just had my fourth child, and had my tubes tied with my C-section. I have regretted it since. Cried over it a lot. I cannot imagine actually having another child, but now that I "can't" I wish I could. I think it's human nature.
Good luck.
