tubal ligation

[Anonymous]

Has anyone had a tubal ligation done after giving birth? Meaning not during a c-section. If yes, how was your experience? How long did it take to recover?

I had one two years after giving birth to our last child. I went in that morning and was home by 3 or 4 that afternoon if I remember correctly. Moderate amount of pain that first night, no pain meds though. The next day I was still in pain (maybe a 6), but still felt up to driving the kids to a play place so they could run around. I just sat. By day four I was moving around pretty good with very little pain. By day seven I was back to 100%, although I still had to wait a few extra days to get back into my full workout routine because my strength was just not there. Best option ever!

OP here, thanks PP! That sounds encouraging. Going in for the consult on Friday.

I had one 3 months after my last. I went in at 11 home by 3. I was groggy that day but felt fine after a good nights sleep I took pain Ned's the next day once or twice but otherwise I was back in action. The only ouchy part is when a child bumped the incisions.
(It was laparoscopic) I would suggest some hard candy to suck on after you wake up if you are intubated.
