That DH got a vasectomy :) He is currently sleeping it off.
Somehow I feel this is all my fault, and can't stop crying. He is lying there all drugged up and I know he is in pain. It is the right decision and happy that he has done it, but have some guilt. Is this normal? He had to do it, I do not have regrets about not having anymore kids.
Sorry for the blabbing!!

Awwww Lisha *hugs*. He will be fine, it should be a quick recovery as it is literally only a couple of little snips.

Hi Lisha, you'll have to let me know how it goes as my DH is going to be doing this next month hopefully. I am only 10 weeks pregnant with our 2nd, but know that I can't deal with any more pregnancies even if something goes wrong. It will be good to have a real life story to tell him (hopefully a nice one!)

Please keep us posted. Did he go for the no scalpel method? And does he have a high pain threshold? I really hope DH wont have it real bad.

You know, I'm sure he also consented to getting his tubes cut! Don't worry, he'll be over it soon. And (not that I've been through it) but I'm sure it's a lot quicker/easier to recover from a vas than childbirth!

Exactly. You've had to go through childbirth, I'm sure this is nothing in comparison.

And it's a less invasive surgery than having your tubes tied. He'll feel better soon. I'm sure it's normal to feel a bit like this when a loved one is in pain.

I think my DH's snip must have been the 'no scalpel' version, he drove himself there, had the proceedure and then went off to work!!!
Hope he is feeling better soon!

A real man jogs home after his vasectomy.

Do not feel guilty in any way! You have given him beautiful children, and now it is his turn to feel pain.
Big hugs to you :)

I've been told by a friend to ice the hubby's bits while he's sleeping. She said it helps them heaps. Obviously she's been through it.
