Looking for advice!
So I'm almost at the age in my state where I can convince my doctor I want my tubes tied.
I only have one child, but that's all I want. Me and my husband have discussed it at length and we both know we only want one child.
I don't want to hear about how hard it may be to get someone to do it, I know that. But my question is, has anyone else had this done after one child, and did you regret it? How many one child families are on here, and are you happy with that?
I have not done it but when I had my first I was for sure I only wanted 1 child and I felt that way for over a year, however my mind changed and I now have 4. Your child is too young to know for sure you only want one in my honest opinion. I am so glad that nobody would have tied my tubes after my first I would have done it and totally regret it. The fact that your profile says you are planning to try for your second at the end of this year is truly telling that you are not all that sure as well. You also made a post a month and a half ago saying you would be trying at the end of the year what has changed in that short period that you are so sure you only want one? These are the exact reasons drs won’t do it people flip flop too much.
I know a few people who did it at 25 and the other was 24. I don't think you'll have a problem if you're over the age of 18. You're an adult and it's your choice
I'm an only child and I hated it growing up. I liked the fact I didn't have to share things and was spoiled but I wish I had a little brother or sister. This is my second son I'll be having tomorrow and I'm nervous and afraid but I know my son will love having a little brother to bond with. I have friends who have siblings and talk about doing fun stuff together or as kids and I wish I had that type of bond with someone. The best to do is try birth control and if down the road y'all want another then go for it. But I wouldn't try getting fixed. My hubbs mom regrets getting fixed after her 2 kids (same dad) because she never gave her husband now a child.
I’ve never done it but know some (and many on here) who have went through a reversal. Many regret it and why it is hard to get a doctor to do it.
My husband grew up “as” the only child and hated it. That’s why ours are so close in age. My life long friend had a baby and the doctor something happened with the doctor but a week later they had to do an emergency hysterectomy and she feels terrible for her child being the only one. Even though Her and her husband and only wanted one. Because she has no chance to ever change her mind.
I've never done it but I hear my friends saying they wish they had at least 2 kids. Finding a Dr will probably be hard.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I only have one child and I love it. I have my moments where sometimes I wish I could have more but it usually passes fairly quickly lol. I love being able to devote my time to my son. My husband grew up as an only child and loved it.
