Pussycat Dolls' Kimberly reveals she has been sterilised

[Teletubby 150,205]

Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt has revealed she has been sterilised, and her husband Max Rogers is going to have a vasectomy.
Kimberly said: “Sustainability is such a big part of our focus as a couple and as a family and we’d had our 2 children and we were really quite happy and we talked about waiting six to eight years and having the conversation and just being certain that we were done.
“But within just that year or so of having the 2nd one, we’re like ‘I think we’re pretty much complete’, until number 3 showed up.”
To ensure they did not have any more children, Wyatt explained that she was sterilised when she had her third Caesarean section.

 

Discussing the Pussycat Dolls tour, Kimberly said: “We were all set to do a world tour and then instead, after we did all the promo here in the UK and in Australia, we were thrust into lockdown.
“The tours been pushed twice and the last I heard it is rescheduled for September of next year.
“But of course there’s some fighting going on between the creator Robin and Nicole and so I literally have no idea what’s going to happen.
“I think the fighting and the drama needs to end and we need to focus on getting back out there.”

Good for them for not wanting a soccer team, even tho they can clearly afford it more than most middle class (and republican) Americans who actually have soccer team of kids

Pretty normal experience, I guess it's a good thing that celebrities are being open about it. Many women get their "tubes tied" (as it is typically colloquially referred to rather than the dire-sounding "sterilization") at the same time they have a C-section

I wonder if you still get your period tho, because keeping your hormones intact is important for your body, strength, skin etc. Tbh I think if you can still keep your period and not go into menopause then it seems a good solution instead of always being scared of getting pregnant when you have sex and u had 2 kids and u dont want more

There is still a big stigma about women who decide to not have children and getting their tubes tied, so i’m glad she is speaking openly about it.

Good for her. It's not like she doesn't already have kids. If a woman decides that she doesn't want any more kids, or doesn't want any, it's her choice and no one should have anything to say about it.

I don't quite understand why both parties need to be sterilised. I always believe that it should be the man as his operation is reversible but the woman's is permanent. Is there a slim chance a vasectomy can still carry a pregnancy risk and this is why both get sterilised to have zero risk?

Yes. You still have your period after a tubal ligation. Of course there are some health risks as there are with any surgical operation.

I thought the topic is going to be dark

It's an interesting thing, I would totally be open to that after 2 kids, because women in my family get menopause in mid 50s, and my aunt got pregnant 47 accidentally and had to go thru a miscarriage (she has 3 kids, didn't want any more) but I wouldnt wanna go thru that and also the fear of being pregnant everytime you have sex isn't worth it.

Exactly, and if we never bring these normal issues into the light that's how it'll always be treated, like a big dark secret. But it's normal and it shouldn't be.

That's why we need to talk about how normal it is for a woman to stop, pause, or control her reproduction, and stop associating a nonreproducing woman with sadness by using words like "barren" "sterile," etc.

I like Kimberly for talking about her experience but I dislike the language the British tabbo used in this article

It's super, super rare but yeah, vasectomies aren't 100% effective.
