BellaOnline Forums Relationships Married No Kids Advice about Hysterectomy?

Hey, Sam. I am thirty and my husband had a hysterectomy. I'd have done what you're thinking of, but anything surgical is so creepy to me...I prefer natural whenever possible. Anyhow, if you want to get a hysterectomy, do it. You're an adult, who can make her own decisions. If you become my age and decided you wanted a kid (highly unlikely as every cFC couple I've known has remained happily CF in their fifties.) There are plenty of children waiting for a "forever" home in the adoption world. I would say think of the reasons you don't want kids. If I remember correctly, Beth M. was more fearful of childbearing and career oriented. However, everyone is different I personally am neither, but simply don't want to be pregnant, give birth, gain weight, wipe up mucus, have to be on call 24/7, be a mom's taxi driver, soccer mom, etc. the whole lifestyle sounds horrible. The Best ADVICE I've read: STOP WHENEVER YOU THINK OF IT AND NOTE HOW YOUR LIFE WOULD DIFFER HOUR BY HOUR DAY BY DAY IF YOU HAD TO RAISE A CHILD. Think of what your reasons are, and then begin looking for a Dr. They do exist! Wishing you the best...
