To cut or not?

Hello mommies. I'm expecting my 2nd baby and have thought of cutting my fallopian tube once i give birth next year. I just can't handle the daily all day morning sickness i am having and i had, throughout my 15 weeks of pregnancy. I can't even enjoy foods. It's pretty stressfull. 😭 #needadviceplease

I totally understand how tough severe morning sickness is, 15 weeks of that sounds exhausting, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed right now. That said, this is such a big decision that I'd really encourage you to discuss it properly with your gynae, maybe after you've recovered from this pregnancy and can think more clearly, because hormones and exhaustion can make everything feel more permanent than it is in the moment. Some mums find their sickness eases significantly in the third trimester or after delivery, and a few years down the line your feelings about family size might shift too. For now, focus on getting through these weeks, talk to your PD or KKH if the sickness is affecting your nutrition, because there are ways to manage it better. You've got this, and decisions like these don't have to be made in the thick of it.
