Mamas that have had a hysterectomy after only having two children, do you regret it at all? I’m currently pregnant with my second and I’ve always said I only wanted two and as of now, I still only want two kids. I’m also 27 so I just don’t really see me wanting another one due to age as well. I’m thinking about getting a hysterectomy after I have this next baby. I also have endometriosis and I’m hoping that would help with the pain.
As someone with endometriosis, I think it is important to mention that a hysterectomy is not a cure for endometriosis and typically does not help. If you feel that you are done having babies, go for it!
Hmm. Why not get your tubes tied instead or have your man get snipped? A hysterectomy will throw you into early menopause, which isn’t pleasant, ages you and often adds pounds.
I didn’t want more than two kids. I had a boy & a girl. Ended up having another & now I couldn’t see my life any different.
I have 3 kids and had a hysterectomy at 30 due to adenomyosis. Some days I’m sad that I can’t have another as my 3 are growing and no longer babies. Then I recall all the things we can do without having all the baby equipment and I’m good.
If you think thats the right option, do it. Especially if you fear your illness
If you question it at all don’t go through with it.
So I had my 2nd child at 30 and have pcos and they wouldn’t do a hysterectomy just because of it. You are still young and hormone replacement is not good on younger people they will tie your tubes with consent of your husband but unless there is something bad wrong they put it off until you are at least 40
I had my first at 26 and second at 30 I wanted it done but everyone talked me out of it… now at 32 I’m even more set on being complete with my 2 boys. I regret not trusting myself because now I have to deal with birthcontrol or set an appointment for surgery. Trust in your gut and what your life plan is.
Depending on how bad your endometriosis is Dr. may not do it and insurance may not cover. Also you would be have to be on hormone replacement meds as you will lose your natural hormones.
I have 3 children. I had my tubes tied first. Then found out my pain was due to endometriosis and fibroid. I decided to have a complete hysterectomy. I regret it so much. I would have loved to had more children. I recommend hold off. I still have pain daily.
I’m 32. I have 2 kids…2 boys.
I also have PCOS.
I’m DONE having kids… I highly doubt that my body could handle another pregnancy.
Which is ultimately the biggest reason I’m done. My existing kids having me means more than having a hypothetical future child.
My mind is really good at compartmentalizing and prioritizing practicality so realistically it doesn’t bother me.
I’ll add I have not had a hysterectomy but I’m also sure that’s probably an eventuality.
A hysterectomy won’t solve your problems.
I had a tubal after my second c section delivery. No regrets at all
