Get my tubes tied or Nexplanon???

Bailey

Hi Everyone!!! So I just had my 3rd little about 3 weeks ago. From the beginning of this pregnancy I have said I wanted my tubes tied afterwards. I was in birth control when I got pregnant this time and my husband and I were content with 2 for at least a few more years (my youngest was only 10 mo the when we found out). My husband has not tried to push me in any direction and supports me 100% whether I want them tied or decide I want more. I was so certain this was what I wanted and even had a horrible pregnancy and labor that sealed the deal for me. However, now that my little is here and I get to snuggle him and hear his little cries it seems harder and harder to permanently say I’d never want another ever again. I don’t know if this is the hormones taking and I should stick with the decision I made when I felt certain or if maybe I should wait because I’m having these doubts. My tubal is only a month away so maybe I’m just getting cold feet.

Here’s the thing, if I chose right now I would be done with 3 kids but what scares me is what if I don’t feel that way in 5 years. So if I did chose birth control I would want something long lasting and reliable. I have had bad experiences with IUD’s so those are out. And the pill didn’t work out so well. If I did go with another option I would try the nexplanon arm implant.

Have any of you mamas had either experience with nexplanon or making the decision to get your tubes tied? Any perspectives would be appreciated.
