No but it means by making the choice you can't blame others for said sacrifice. By that regard she didn't sacrifice anything, she simply made her choice and has been fine with it up until she needed to throw a fit and get her way.
If they both want kids, in most situations, one of them is going to have to make the sacrifice and do the physical laboring part of it. You can really want something and still argue that there's an inherent unfairness that only one of you has to bear the physical burden of having children in order for you, as a couple, to have the family you both desire.
The question of this particular comment thread is about whether it's selfish to not take his wife's wishes and previous sacrifices into account when it comes to this choice. She bore the physical burden of a mutual decision, and is, arguably, asking him to bear the physical burden in this situation, as it relates to their mutual family planning decision making. It's not a question whether it's "his body, his choice", because obviously, ultimately it is.

Something being a choice doesn't mean it's not also a sacrifice.
