Does anyone have any advice about having another baby?

I married to a wonderful man and we already have 3 kids. Ages 8, 6 and 4. I am a very devoted mother. After the last child was born, I had my tubes tied. I figured 3 kids were enough and I'd be satisfied. But here I am 4 years later, Wishing I could be pregnent. I am finatially stable, I have a big enough house. I am just asking, Do you think it's a smart move now, to go through the surgery and have my tubes untied? They are actually just ringed, not tied. My husband supports whatever decision I make. Do you know how likely it is to get pregnent after a reversal? Just want some feedback, thanksDoes anyone have any advice about having another baby?

As far as advice - I would suggest that you really ask yoruself why you want another baby. Is something missing? What is it?





What about your current family dynamics - do any of yoru current children need extra attention or support (in school, etc)?





What are the risks of the procedure? How do they affect your current children?





What about opening your home to adoption?





Once you've caught ';baby fever';, I don't think you ever stop wanting to have kids - so don't make the goal ';I'll stop when I feel done'; - you'll never feel done. Make the goal, I'll stop when my family dynamics is complete.





I'm sure you've asked yoruself many questions already - you'll eventually come to a decision that is right for you and your family!





Best wishes!Does anyone have any advice about having another baby?
I think that is fine. Looks like there is no reason at all not to have another child.
Nobody can tell you that but you and your hubby. If you think that getting no sleep, changing dypers, waiting for them to be done with dyapers, waiting for them to be off the bottle, getting them ready for the first day of school, is all worth it. THen go for it. I say you andf= your hubby weigh the pros and cons and if the cons are more but you think it's worth it. Then congrats.
have you thought about adoption? I think that would be a wonderful way to go for you if you are wanting another child and you would be giving a child a home that would otherwise not have one.
Have you thought about adoption? There are a lot of babies out there that need good homes.
My brother and his wife just did the exact same thing.. it took like 6 months after they started to try. If your finacially able and your the parents you prescribe to be I say go for it. I would stop at 5 though.. all the tax benefits do.. LOL Good luck.. and happy trying..
You're a grown woman with a stable home life.





I think at this point, wanting a baby is a good enough reason to have one.








(this is mad! My kids are 8, 7, and 3, and I'm going through the same thing right now!)
I can't imagine why you shouldn't get it reversed. I'd say go for it!
I don't think it is a smart move. I would not do it. The huge gap in the kids' ages alone would make me not want to go through surgery for the possibility of pregnancy. Think of your kids first miss ';devoted mother'; before yourself.
Girl I know what you are going through. I have 3 kids also 8,7 and 5. my husband had a vascectomy and now I am wanting one more. We are only 28. I think if I had one more I would be happy. So I say to you that if you have talked to your husband and he agrees to have another baby, I say girl, you go for it.
I would think that you can do that. I would go to your doctor and ask about the pros and cons, and see about the after affect of having your tubes untied so that you can have another child. After that, then decide whether or not that you would like another baby and if you can safely have the child, go for it!! My best wishes to you and yours!!
Based on a friend's experience, she's had two children since having her tubes ';untied.'; She and her husband weighed the options of untying the tubes and adoption. Medical fees for the procedures and the legal adoption fees were going to be the same either way, but consider wanting to adopt could put you on a waiting list for years. If your doctor thinks it could be done safely, that may be your best bet... but only if you're 100% positive it's what you want to do
Go for it! If you are as devoted to mothering as you say you are, you should have more children. There aren't enough women like you! If you have the energy for more kids and love being a mom you should fill your home. Mothering is a specialized gift. Not every woman has a ';mother's heart.'; The more well-mothered children we have in the world the better the world is.
Well,I work in a major hospital, and they say once there tied (tubes) that's it. But I have heard that some women still manage to get knocked up anyway after having their tubes tied. If you want another child, go for it because once you get to a certain age they will start telling you that bads things could potentially happpen. So, do it now while you're still kinda of young. And, it is also good for your taxes....
i couldnd tell you how easy you'd get pg again after the reversal, but i personally would say...go for it...if its wat you want to do....as long as you sure sure....good luck
Why don't you try adopting?


that way you don't have to get your tubes untied





If the red tape gets too complecated, have another baby





But really...think about it...there are thousands of children that yern for a mommy...change someones life by adopting.
Well if you want to then go for it, I know a lot of women who have had there tubes untied and had babies, The group I belong to is http://www.vision-of-faith.org/ it's a support group and all so has TR doctors and there prices
Yes, go for it, have another child, You can do it! You sound like a great mother!!! If the untieing of your tubes doesnt work out, you could try adoption! Oh you are so lucky to have such a supportive husband! there should be more couples like you! If you have a child, God bless that child. You are lucky to have the chance to have 4 babies! Best of luck!
i say go for it
You should go for it. When you do have the baby try an IUD instead, it is easier to reverse and removable for if there are complications.


Best of luck to you
you sound like a very loving and caring mother and wife. if your husband supports you thats awesome. but how does he feel about having another baby. i love babies, and if you think you are ready for another one go for it. and as for the reversal its pretty likely, might take some time so be patient and the time will come. GOOD LUCK HUN
