In 2012, MTV viewers were introduced to Briana DeJesus in 16 and Pregnant. She went on to appear in the Teen Mom franchise and currently stars in Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. Recently, Briana DeJesus made a vulnerable confession about why she wanted to get her tubes tied after two children.
Briana, 30, welcomed her first daughter, Nova, 13, with Devoin Austin when she was 17. She welcomed another daughter, Stella, 7, with Luis Hernandez. Let’s take a closer look at why Briana decided to make her current family size permanent.
Briana DeJesus talked about getting her tubes tied on ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter.’
On the March 6 episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Briana broached the topic of permanent birth control.
“I have been thinking about what I want for myself and my children,” she said on the show, per People. “I have been thinking about tying my tubes.”
Briana added, “I don’t want to have any more children, and here in Florida, the laws are so crazy you can’t even get a d— abortion.”
However, she wants to be sure.
“For the last two years, this is something that I’ve thought about,” Briana confessed. “And I just want to be 100% sure because tying my tubes would be permanent. There’s no going back from that.”
Briana made a vulnerable confession after her mom expressed concerns.
“I just need to make sure that I wipe out the possibility of me having another baby with someone like Luis or Devoin,” Briana told her mom, Roxanne. “Three baby daddies, no, not me.”
“You’re young to tie your tubes,” Roxanne pointed out, asking why Briana doesn’t “do the birth control method.”
Although Briana explained it was because of the “horrible side effects,” Roxanne insisted she would regret the decision to get a tubal ligation.
“You still haven’t found a stable relationship,” she explained. “When there’s a solid relationship, you’re both going to want to procreate.”
Still, Briana confessed, “I don’t want to continue to create these broken homes.”
Folks on social media supported the decision.
In the comments of a clip the MTV Instagram account posted, Briana’s fans shared their support for her getting her tubes tied.
One person wrote, “Not a Briana fan but smartest thing she’s eva said.”
Another agreed, declaring, “Good for her!! Best decision for her & her girls!!!”
“Yesss girllll. Do what’s gona make u happy!!” yet another follower shared.
In January, Briana shared photos after seemingly getting a tubal ligation.
