I have a 5 yr old and one on the way. My Dr. keeps insisting that I should tie my tubes or cut them because I have type 2 diabetes and both my pregnancies have been very challenging and high risk. Im only 24 and want more kids? What would you do???

It's your choice not the doctor's.

You know what lovely first I want to say please do not worry about what these people are saying 19 and three kids already F them anyway stay strong if you feel like you might want another one in the future when you find the right guy I would not do it just be careful it is a very hard decision to make I have three and one on the way I am married and have been for 10 years I do not want to tie them because I am scared I'd rather just use condoms etc.. again just think about it and to be honest no one on here can help you make that decision we can only give you our opinion maybe you should speak with someone professionally or not have sex as much until you are absolutely sure or use condoms birth control Good Luck!

I am sorry about your diabetes thats horrible. Id consider a second opinion and if he says the same thing. Id consider it. Its hard when you so young to think bout somethign like that. Im 25 i understand. You can still have more kids. So many kids out there need homes have you ever thought about adoption? I have a fertility problem and for me to have children is going to be very trying. If i can have one or two of my own i will die a happy woman. But regaurdless i plan to adopt because i want a large family. Keep in mind that what makes a mom is not were the baby was concieved but the love you bestow on the child. Good luck and i hope the second opions says diffrent. If not maybe you and your husband can talk about adoption!

I had my tubes tied so I thought when I was 26 years old after my second child my daughter was 3 when my son was born. I asked my doctor to do it because I was a single mom on assistance and all I wanted at the time was 2. Shortly after my son was born I met a man who had 3 of his own so I raised 5 kids. But we wanted to have a baby also so I went to see about getting them reversed, I then found out they were not only tied but cut and burnt. So there was no way I could have them reversed , then shortly after that I was about 30 at the time I had to get a full hysterectomy due to problems caused by getting my tubes tied. I suggest you get another opinion and for some of your own research first. It is a very emotional thing to get them done. I had a hard time I swear I saw every pregnent women in Alberta.

That's a huge decision that your doctor should not be pressuring you into. However, keep in mind your health and the health of any future children you may have. And don't forget about the two you already have. They're going to need their mommy to be around for a good long time. =;o)
If the doc really thinks it's that risky, look into it good and hard before making any decisions. If you do find that another pregnancy would be too large a risk, just remember that you have already been doubly blessed with two beautiful children - and adoption could be the answer if you decide you want to have more.
Good luck...

If it would be worth the risk to you, then do what you feel. However, if you think the health risks outweigh the joys of pregnancy (and they might, considering your doctor's warning), then you could get them tied and adopt later if you want...or even get them "untied"...it can be done! The only way I'd get my tubes tied at 24 was if my life was in danger or if I already had like 8 kids. lol. Good luck, and I hope whatever decision you make leaves you happy!

Its really up to you. I know diabetic women who have never been able to carry a child full-term, so you should be happy that you've been blessed this much already! However, diabetes doesn't just put stress on the fetus, it puts stress on the mother as well. What would be accomplished by being stubborn, building a large family, and then dying without being able to truly enjoy it? You don't want to leave the children you have without a mother simply so that you can fulfill your own wishes of having more. Look at the whole situation before you make your decision.

I signed the papers to get my tubes tied when i was pregnant with my son. I only have one child (my son and he is also 5 yrs old) anyhow i had him early and they talked me out of getting my tubes tied. I was 21 at the time. If you are going to listen to your doctor then have it done. If you do not want to then go to a high risk ob/gyn to see if it would be okay to have more in the future (Kids).
My sister had her tubes tied at age 21 and she only had one kid and she does not regret it. It is up to you but if a doctor told me that i shouldn't get pregnant again that something awful could happen then i would have them tied but that is me.
Good luck

You know, you are going to have to weigh the consequences... at this time you might want to wait until you have your second baby and see how life is like with two. believe me, it changes everything. i am 22 and I have two kids... and you know, i don't think i want anymore... my 2 get along like twins... i couldn't imaginie having another. not just for that reason, but financially... time wise... with more kids, there is less time and money for each... PLUS you have to consider your health risks. Certainly you can still have more children even if you get your tubes tied if that is what you finally decide... they just may not be biological... and that wouldn't be so bad, would it? You have 2 that are biologically yours. Certainly you want to be alive for the kids that you already have without needing to risk your life for what you could have through other unconventional ways... good luck and congratualations!

You have been blessed with 2 kids so I think it is reasonable to have your tubes tied. Adoption can be a wonderful choice if you decide you would like more children. Plus, I would hate for anything to happen to you that would leave your current children motherless. I am sure it is a hard choice. Good luck!

If you can have more kids I would not tie your tubes. If you think that you can go through another pregnancy then go for it. Your young its your body. However you might want to get a second opion, just to put your mind at ease.
