I have my tubes tired about 8 years ago but I have been having a dream about having another child this last couple weeks. I would love too. Does anyone think this is a sign we should see about see about getting it untied or is there another option we have?

What can I do next?

It could be that your kids are getting older and you are missing the baby stage and the level of needing they have from mom when they are young.

God does give us signs and such, but I don't think you dreaming about having a baby is a sign.

You had your tubes tied for a reason. I think if you want to consider another child you and your hubby need to sit down and really look at WHY you are thinking you want another child and if it is right for your family at this time. Also, if you don't want to go through surgery to have your tubes untied, you can consider adoption. There are many many kids in the world who do not have a loving stable home.

Well, whether or not to have another child can only be decided by you and your hubby. As far as it being a sign...I would lean toward no! I do believe that God gives me signs/messages as far as what He has planned for me, but I would be VERY skeptical if I found that 'sign' in a dream. Just think about the crazy things you have dreamt about in you life and you'll see what I mean! LOL Dreams are your minds way of organizing your days/weeks events and since our brains need order, they play out scenerios that don't necessarily make sense, but do have a logical order. That said, if you have been really wanting another child and thinking about it a lot, that CAN show in your dreams, but it's not a sign!

well what does your husband think??

What are the logical/emotional reasons for or against this?

You have to think of finances as well it can be expensive to have a reversal and there is no garantee that it will work.

Have you thought about adoption?

My husband had a vasectomy when we were younger after we had 3 biological children. Later we felt we wanted more children and adopted 2 internationally. It was the most rewarding experience imaginable. I would love to do it again. I think we are too quick to stop the natural order of things. Having children is gift of God and when we stop that ability we sometimes have deep regrets. It's not crazy to want more children. If you can afford to have a reversal go for it of course weigh the risks of surgery. If you can look into your hearts to adopt there are so many children in the US and internationally that need homes and that is a decision you would find is the most rewarding! Bethany Christian Services is the agency we used right here in Michigan and they have been wonderful. There are many others also. Plus there are tons of agencies with waiting children that have minor correctable needs. I know of SEVERAL. If you want more information please email me privately.

It sounds like you have some unresolved feels about having another child. Have you considered adoption.

I also, think there is a reversal surgery for turbuligations, but I don't know what the successful percentage rates are regarding this surgery.

Don't forget to consider all your finances and the reason why you originally had the turbuligation to begin with. Make sure that before you pursue this decision to try for another child, that you don't have any regrets or limitating barriers.

Could this be spring fever? I ALWAYS get this feeling every spring. But my memories are clouded and spending an afternoon with my friends children soon breaks through the golden cloud of faulty memory. Babies crying, children arguing, and constant chaos are not really what we want for our family.

Sit down and really think about your feelings. Talk with your husband. If you just want something small to love and care for, you might want to consider getting a puppy, a kitten, or another pet.

However, if you really do want another child and your husband does too, give your doctors a call, check out adoption and see what's available.

Good luck!

We have adopted two boys from foster care, one at age two and the other at age four. Foster-adopt is cheap-nearly free and we recieve medical subsidys for things like asthma. They have mild special needs (ADHD, separation anxiety, vision disorder) but they are the light of our lives!
