I was not interested in having children in the first place, but ended up having our daughter 3 years after we were married & 10 months before I graduated from college. My focus was on career, not having children, so knew absolutely that I would NOT have another child. I talked to my gyno about having my tubes tide during the c-section that I ended up having to have because my daughter was too big & I was too small. He said that most of the women that had their tubes tied ended up having to have hysterectomies a few years later. (not sure if that was a true statement or not because there was no internet in those days to check on the validity of his statement). I couldn't take the pill because of bad reactions to it......& was absolutely willing to never have relations with my husband again at that point......so he went ahead & had a vasectomy.

I never had regrets of not having any more children.....I love the daughter we have, but I am definitely NOT a person who thrived on having babies. Interesting on how different women can think on these issues.
