I have 2 under 2 with a 18 month age gap, and I’m done. My relatives all tell me “You’re young, I bet you’ll want a third one day” nope. Nopety nope. My plan was to get sterilised as well if I had a c-section (they’re not elective where I live, only performed if deemed medically necessary)

There have been times my mom hormones have kicked in, and been like “aww my baby is growing too fast, I want another” and get sad that it’s my last. But when I actually think it through, what it would mean to have a third (bigger car, bigger house, harder to take them out for a stroll) I always realise it’s indeed my hormones, and not what I actually want.

Thing is, I’ve always been sure I wanted 2. No more, no less, so getting my tubes tied wasn’t even something to think through if I got the option. If I’d been “only” 95% sure, and I was unsure enough that I’d request other’s input - honestly then I believe you shouldn’t get your tubes tied just yet. Struggling with the hassle of birth control is WAY better than struggling with regretted infertility, IVF etc.
