Do I have to choose between incisional hernia surgery and having more kids?

Girlmamabearx3Jan 20, 2022
I have had 3 c-sections and recently was diagnosed with an incisional hernia. I went to see a general surgeon and he said he hopes I’m done having kids because if not he won’t do the surgery. I didn’t know I needed to choose between surgery or being done with having kids. I’m torn and not sure what to do. Please help me!
