I need a little advice. But, first here a little back ground been married to a wonderful man for 11 yrs we have one girl and two boys. I can't help but to feel a little bit greedy to want one more. I grow up in the same format that my kids are in now. I have always wanted a sister and do not want to see my daughter feeling to same emptyness. I have the IUD in and I am going to school online. My plan is to start trying more harder when I am done next year in October with school. Ok my husband was for it now he has done a one eighty ( I can change his mind) and lesson on the idea just a little bit. After we had our three child I was going to get my tubes tied he no maybe we should try for one more in time. I am going to have to have a surgery to fix my Pelvic Organ Prolapse. If I did the surgery first and then try and have a babe I would have to do the surgery all over again. And then on the other hand surgery, tubes tied and baby all at one time. Thanks for advice baby dust to all. My name is Frances for short Im a mother three, two boys and girls. I have been married for ten years and are ready for our last little angel.

Well if you guys decide to have another then good luck to you! Hope all works out. I would absolutely do the surgery for you pelvis & get your tubes tied while still in the hospital right after delivery if possibly, I know it sounds strange & like a lot, but it is a lot easier then having to back again & again. You get it all knocked out at once & then you're just done with it all. The healing isn't all that much harder(especially if you're having a c-section). My sis-in-law did it that way & it she found it to be so much easier & was happy with the results. She had a c-section though so since she was already open they just did it all at once right after they took the baby out. She was in the hospital for 2 extra days, but baby staid longer too & she was there longer because of delivery issues not the tube ties. ( double uteri or 2 uterus'). Anyway hope that helps. Again, good luck:)!

I hope you and your hubby can agree about baby no. 4. I have 2 boys and a girl also. I thought it could be nice to have another girl, but then I realized it might be another boy and I did not want that. I grew up with 3 brothers and no sister! By the way brothers are great!

My hubby wanted no kids, I wanted 6, so 3 was our compromise. At first he wanted 2, but when I told him I wanted to try one last time for a girl, to know I tried, he went for it. Lucked out.

No problem. Sometimes I see a lot of posts on here with no responses so I check them out & see if I can comment. It makes me feel bad when no one responds to my posts, so I try not to have others feel that way.

Well I hope the best for you & your family. I'm glad you plan to get everything done at once. I think that's best. Good luck in trying to conceive again( if you decide to that is, although I doubt you will need it). I'll keep you in my thoughts. Glad I could be there for a little extra support.
