I have a few regrets in my life, most of which -when you look at the bigger picture- aren’t that big of a deal. Like regretting that I hadn’t enrolled in those photography classes when I had the chance to do so a few years ago. Or wishing that I’d bought a new phone instead of yet another lens for my camera. You get the point. But there’s one thing in my life that I regret above all others. A regretful decision that I just can’t shake.

It’s been 23 months now, but I still regret my decision to undergo a tubal ligation following the birth of my daughter.

When I made the decision to have my tubes tied back in 2009, I felt extremely at peace with it. Or so I thought. Somewhere between the tubal ligation and newborn baby bliss, I began to regret my decision. Unfortunately, it was too late. I’d undergone a tubal ligation and there was no going back. I’ve lost my ability to have children and I have nothing but a lifetime of regret ahead of me and an ugly scar to show for it.

I’m talking more in depth about my regrets surrounding my tubal ligation over at Our Mommyhood today. I’d love for you to stop by and share your advice, opinion and any experience you may have had with tubal ligation.
