The snip

Hi my hubby is getting the snip in over a week, what should I do for him besides bake a celebration cake lol, or what to expect from his recovery?

Lol my husband was changing break pads and working normally 3 hours after having his done and he didn’t get any sort of celebration

Yeah my husband got a thanks and that was about it. He has always been very responsible regarding contraception and I never felt like it was just up to me so that's why I thanked him but not much else. He was feeling fine the next morning after a 5pm procedure.

Nothing? My husband walked out perfectly fine, enjoyed the fact he got the day off when he was fine and returned to labouring the next day.

I don't think a little compassion would hurt lol. Cake aside, maybe just be prepared to help him out if necessary.

I had my implanon replaced a few weeks ago, I milked that for all it was worth. I barely lifted a finger for a week while I "healed" 😂😂

So I'd be happy to return the favour if/when my hubby gets the snip hehe.

To clarify, I was 1 of the respondents above. Compassion if there is any soreness is obviously appropriate. But I do think it's weird to celebrate a minor medical procedure. I've never received a cake or present etc after a pap smear or any other procedure. Flowers after major surgery maybe, but never for minor stuff that is a choice to be responsible or proactive etc.
I think it's lovely this poster is planning something nice, but I don't think anything more is required.

Supportive Jocks for sure!!! My partners initial pain wasn't too bad but he ended needing ages off work as he got a blood clot. Recovery for him took alot longer ( about 2 weeks) before he was actually abke to move about slightly comfortably. And alot longer for most other activities.

Instead of ice packs a few bags of frozen peas/small cut vege.
They mould to the shape better and provide more comfort.
Alternate them as they defrost.
