What do you think about this girl who had her tubes tied at 28 years old as a form of birth control?
Read the full story here
Honestly, I'm not against it at all. Quite the contrary actually. Women who do not want children and get pregnant either have an abortion, put their child up for adoption or end up keeping the baby and are really bad mom's because they resent their child. Not to mention the countless stories of babies being found in dumpster etc. (btw this is not to say if you don't want kids and end up having them anyways, that you are a bad mom.. That's just usually what happens, but not always)
I REALLY wanted a child and even I was surprised by how challenging it can be and how much it change your life. So, if you know you don't want kids, don't have them. Period.
That being said... Getting her tubes tied is not 100% effective as far as birth control. If she wanted sterilization, she should've opted for Hysteroscopic occlusion (coils in the Fallopian tubes that create scar tissue that blocks the tube entirely). Or she could opt for a bilateral salpingo oopherectomy which would remove the tubes and ovaries completely which would protect her from ovarian cancer.
Nonetheless.. Good for her! I know what it's like to hear doctors say "are you sure you don't want (anymore in my case) children? You could change your mind"
When you're at the doctor, asking for a life sleeping surgery.. Typically, you're more than 100% positive!
Besides, there's always adoption which can be extremely rewarding.
Hope you're having a fabulous holiday weekend!
