Has anyone with a uterus decided to not have children because of EDS? I know the physical process of pregnancy will be incredibly hard on my body, my hips and SI joints are the least stable so adding a baby would make that worse. My health is overall not great and I think I wouldnt be able to fully support even a incredibly well behaved, healthy child let alone one with behavioral or health complications and I think children deserve better than that. How have others processed this choice and what permanent sterilization procedures have people had done i.e. hysterectomy vs tubal. Has anyone noticed a change in symptoms after being sterilized? I know my period has an affect on my joint laxity so I didn't know if permanent solutions would help long term.
I don't want pregnancy success stories at this time please.

I had mine done last year and would do it again in a heartbeat. Easy surgery, easy recovery, and well worth the peace of mind. She even took out the severe and rare form of endo I didn't know I had because I thought the period pain was normal lol!
