At my most recent OB appointment, the doctor went through the typical questions:
How are you feeling? (Big and Pregnant)
Have you gained any weight? (Just look at me)
How are things "coming out"? (Not great but not really in the mood to discuss it in detail)
Are you feeling the babies move? (Looks like aliens are living in my belly, so yes)
How's your diet? (If jelly beans at 10pm are considered a crucial part of pre-natal care, my diet is excellent!)
So, are you planning on having any more children?
(Long Pause as I thought....Really? Are you really asking me that? Wasn't I the one that asked you for Xanex after the ultrasound when we found out there was two? Do you realize we are going to have FIVE children? Do you really think I want to have more kids than one can fit in a minivan? We won't even be able to fit around a normal kitchen table. I'm lucky if I make it through this without psychiatric care.)
Answer outloud: "I am 150% positive we are done, so if you medically have the opportunity to make that a sure thing during delivery, you have complete and total permission to make that happen."
I Be Done!
At my first OB appointment with the boys (second set of twins) I asked so what are my chances of getting pregnant with my tubes tied? I didn't like the answer and went home to tell my husband that he was getting fixed too!
ReplyDeleteThe dr. then had the balls to ask during my csection if I was sure I wanted my tubs tied, SERIOUSLY!? The man had twins himself so you think he would have gotten it!
