DH's vasectomy is booked!

[Visitor7]

I'm a little at the moment. A year ago, we weren't going to go down this road. We were just going to be careful, thinking accidents don't happen. Then Ambah came along after an oopsie one night.
Soooo, DH's vasectomy is booked for March! They were going to book it in for January, but I was like, woah, give it a bit of time to get my head around this I know we're doing it for the right reasons, but it makes it so much more real now that it's booked.
My DH doesn't really care either way. It's not affecting him emotionally like it is with me. Is that normal?

[Tinks]

My DH didn't care about it either. I think in their minds it means they'll get more sex becuase we're not going to get pregnant lol.

Good luck!

Ohhhh wow my DH is like no way am I getting that done!!! Yet he is the one saying no more kids!!!!!

My DH was the same - completely not fussed at all that it meant it was the ending of a huge chapter in our lives, but me, I was a blubbering mess when they wheeled him in LOL. I think it is normal for things to be that way. Men have a totally different perspective on having babies to what we do and we form such a huge emotional connection to having babies that it is hard for us to process it when it's officially over.

We are getting Ad's done VERY soon!!!

He is VERY ok with it, actually super ok with it. He is done.

And to be honest, so am I. Reguardles of the outcome of this miracle bubba, I do not want another pregnancy, the last two have definatly shown me that.

Lean on your BB friends babe, we'll help you through it... xoxoxo

My DH was the same. He too didn't seem fussed. I was a bit "why the rush" but he wanted it done. Always knew we only wanted 2, but it makes it so much more real

My DH is exactly the same. He is booked in for Dec 15 for his. He came home from his initial consultation and was fine yet I was a mess. I know in his mind he would probably love to have 10 children but we know 5 are more than enough for us. I know it is the right thing for me yet I have still been emotional about it. I'm okay for now, but I know that will probably change on Dec 15.

My dh is getting it done soon too. I wanted to wait til this bub is here safety before getting it done and dh wanted to wait til this one is out to make sure I didn't change my mind. If someone just handed me the baby and I didn't have to go through the pregnancy I would have another one but there is no way I could face another pregnancy. I'm happy with 3. Good luck to you and your dh. It is very confronting because it is a major event. It's not something you just get done and can think the next day I've changed my mind now lets just undo it. I think all this goes through my head alot more than dh's. I think when you day comes for dh to get it done I will probably be a mess lol. Good luck!
