N.G.
I'm almost 30, and pregnant with my 3rd. I always felt I was done after two, but never felt at peace with the prospect of permanent birth control, so I decided to hold off on it. (I figured I'd rather not do it and regret it, than do it and regret it). So sure enough, last year I got bit by the baby bug hard, and here I am.
My OB asked me yesterday if I was wanting to have my tubes tied since I'm having a c-section anyway. My husband and I had talked about it last week. I still don't feel at peace with making it permanent. I'm only 29, what if five years from now I just *have* to have another?
I say, if you're not sure, don't make it final. It's ok to be happy with your family the way it is now. Who's to say that next year, you will start to feel that it's time for another? If you're not at peace with the decision, don't do it. You'll know when the time is right, either way.
