It all started 2 days ago when I went in for pre-op and pretty much had to initial next to each and every complication that could happen during the surgery saying that I understand the risks. I know there is like a 1% chance any of these things could happen, but I am so scared I am that 1%. Not to mention the whole finality of never having a baby again. Which seems really ridiculous since 5 years ago we decided we were finished having kids and my Husband got a vasectomy. But for some reason I am starting to get emotional about the whole thing. Once it's out, you cannot put it back. What if in 5 more years we decide we do want more kids?? Ugh. Like that will happen, but what-if?
