Ligation after giving birth

[BDJ]

May question lang ako. What's the Church's stand on this? Hindi po ba they are against contraceptives? What about ligation?

I think Catholic Church are against of ligation too. Kasi I consulted in San Juan De Dios Hospital which is Catholic hospital and they don't allow ligation. Sinabi sa akin ng OB ng SJ ito mismo kasi nga because of religion. She even prefer me in St. Lukes kapag gusto ko ng ganitong procedure.

in my opinion, ikaw lang makakapag decide if you want ligation. kase sabi ng OB ko wala naman daw side effects and ligation. sabi lang nya baka magbago isip ko at ipa reverse ko kaya dito sa US merong 30 day allowance after mo pirmahan ang contract to ligate. meron din ba sa pinas nyan? so may 30 days ka para mag isip. if tutuloy ka or hinde. general anesthesia sha and out patient naman. so sabi ng OB ko 6-7 hours makaka uwe na ko. 5 days lang daw makaka balik na ko sa normal activities ko.

kailangan ba talaga ng consent ng husband para mag-undergo ng ligation? I have a friend kasi she has 4 kids na and want it done kaso ayaw pumirma ng husband niya. need ba talaga ito?

[frappysabz]

oo ata. kasi ako  bago ako manganak and maligate last month. pinapirma husband ko.

[snowflakes]

really? kelangan ng opinion ng asawa? nakoh buti na lang dito sa US hinde. kase ayaw din ng asawa ko.

Napaka-unfair naman nito hehe

Nung niligate ako, due to medical reason, need ng abrupt decision kasi tatahiin na ako since CS ako, pinatawag ko talaga si hubby para makapagdecide pumasok siya ng operating room at pinakita sa kanya ng OB ko na sobrang nipis na ng matris ko so di na pwede mag ka baby.

^same with my condition, sis. Placenta previa ako with my last pregnancy and very risky na kung mabubuntis ulit ako, abrupt decision din but still needed my husband's consent.

anyone else considering getting a ligation after first baby? ayaw ko na umulit talaga. 99% decided, 1% I might regret it.

Reviving this thread again. Musta naman mga sisses who recently had their ligation. Any insights, tips? I'm planning to undergo ligation after giving birth to my fourth child this late March / early April. I've asked my OB about this. Normal delivery naman ako sa 3 kids ko. Hopefully normal delivery ulit ako dito sa 4th. Sabi niya hihiwain lang daw sa bandang tyan din ata pero maliit na maliit na hiwa lang naman daw at wala daw side effects and mabilis din daw recovery. Additional 10k sa fee. Pero pagisipan ko din daw muna if desido na ko. Magiging 4 na kids ko and late 30s na ko. Ayoko na talaga magkababy uli, too old for that. Pero minsan pag iniisip ko parang nalulungkot naman ako sa thought na di na ko capable na magkaanak after ligation. Ewan ko ba. Saka madami ba talagang bawal? Like example yung pagbubuhat? As in bawal na ba talaga. Kasi I have a business that sometimes di maiiwasang magbuhat ng mga items that I buy and sell.

Ayaw ni OB ko magligate at after niya sabihen yung mga reasons niya naconvince ako to wait muna and if ever I still want to after x years balik ako sa kanya.

[msals2007]

Bakit ayaw ng ob mo sis semira?

[super bratinella]

I had my ligation last 3years ago and ok naman so far pero for sure pero I make sure to have my pap smear para sure lang. so far so good naman. I had ligation due to medical reason.

[nicoletta]

^ Wala naman changes after? Sabi nila tutuyot?  I don't know exactly what it means.

[super bratinella]

wala naman ako naramdaman kakaiba sa body ko, basta regular lang dapat ang pap smear para sure sa health kahit hindi naman ligate basta babae need ng pap smear..

@msals2007 -- sis relate Ako sa iyo. I just gave birth to my 3rd baby last January 9. And I also had ligation done na. Since NSD ako, you're right na ang hiwa is below ng pusod Pero maliit Lang daw. Evan kasi d ko pa nakikita til now since naka-bandage pa and takot Ako tignan din. Anyway I made the decision kasi surprise baby na itong 3rd namen e. I computed yun age namen mag-asawa by the time our kids finish college and grabe ang tanda na namen nun! At first, ayaw din ng Ob ko kasi may rule daw na dapat at least 30 yun mother and yun eldest child is 7 na. My eldest kasi is only 4 e. But I talked to other Ob friends and they said ok Lang basta you feel complete na family mo. Kaya yun we went for it na ni hubby. Although ang fee ko for it was only around 6-8 thousand kasi it was factored in the PF ng Ob ko Lang. Pero I don't na totoo yun after 5 days ok na kasi more than a week na Ako and minsan may kirot pa din! Huhu Saka I think yun basal magbuhat is only while the wound is fresh pa. Anyway ayun HTH

[msals2007]

Thanks prettysherry for sharing. I think I'll really push thru with the ligation. Hope makarecover ka na din agad. Hirap madaming sugat na pinapagaling, no, pero at least isahang operation na lang at mas mura additional fees.

[prettysherry]

^thanks sis! Ya masmura nga kasi according to my friend, if separate procedure siya it can cost up to 30 thou daw! And it's not covered by HMOs, well at least yun sa office namen ewan ko Lang yun iba. Anyway I had my first check up yesterday and finally saw my "tahi". It's super small nga and right below ng belly button mo so d siya halata. Although my Ob said yun kirot na naramdaman ko is because of the wound inside -- yun pinutol na parts. Ayun... May God guide you on your decision!

[nicoletta]

Will there be some sort of counselling involved before making that final plunge and going through ligation?  I'm still torn between having it done na because of my previous trauma sa emergency CS ko and wanting to have another baby maybe in 3 years time just to complete the family.

Ang hirap lang that tayong babae dapat mag undergo ng operation all the time may fear pa naman ako sa pain.

[super bratinella]

I had my ligation but this was emergency decision kasi it is because of medical reason hindi na talaga ako pwede mag buntis and even contraceptives is not an option kasi pag nag buntis ako hindi rin mabubuhay ang baby kasi puputok na rin ang matris ko so talaga wether we like or not dapat talaga ako iligate.  For me if it is not really due medical reason pag isipan nyo ng mabuti kasi we will never know if we have the same heart after 3years we will never know baka gusto natin ng maraming baby..or so talagang matinding decision making talaga.
