  1. I can definitely understand many women not wanting to make such a permanent decision. However, I did have mine done, after the c-section birth of my 4th child. I was 36 1/2 at the time. I knew I was done having children, have not regretted my decision, had no problems at all afterward, nursed that baby for almost 2 full years, and am still satisfied with my decision 5 years later. I would not tell any woman what to do with her body, nor would I criticize her for making that decision, whatever it may be.

    I do commend you for publicly listing the responses you have encountered from mothers who have regretted their decision though. So other women can make an informed choice as well.
