I'm 22 with a 4 year old little girl, a 22 month old little girl and 15 weeks 4 days with #3 and we thought about getting my tubes tied but we are young and don't want permanence yet. Have you talked to your ob mine said she preferred to wait till 30 so you're sure.

I'm 23, have a 3 yr old son, and a little girl due in March. My husband and I have talked about having more children so I am not  going to get anything permanent done after this baby just yet. I would talk to your SO and see what he has to say. It is really a choice the two of you should make together. My brother in law and his wife just had their second baby in August and she had her tubes tied. They have 2 daughters but knew for certain they did not want anymore kids. So it depends on the family and what ultimately works for them.

I agree, if you're 110% sure that you're done having kids go with it. My husband just had a vasectomy done and we have only our 14 month old--we know we're done so it was an easy choice.

Be warned, many regret having it done especially young. You might want to think about a long term birth control instead. Ligation is expensive to reverse, and isnt guaranteed to work.

I'm 23 and have a beautuiful 2 year old littlre girl. I'm now pregnant with my 2nd, and last child. I'm only 13 weeks so I dont know if it is a girl or boy yet, but i'm 100 percent sure after this I don't want anymore children. I put alot of thought into my decision though, I made sure it was really what I wanted.

After 2 i thought i was done, when you have 2 little ones life is tough, but seeing my baby off to school was both wonderfully liberating but heartbreaking, i really missed having my babies at home all day, im now 6 weeks on with no 3. I would recommend waiting till your kids are off to school before making a permanent decision, you may regret it later.

I'm currently pregnant with baby #4:o. I had my girl and boy so I didn't want anymore kids,well almost 6yrs later I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I went on the mirena (for the second time) and my body rejected it,so I went on the pill. Two months later I was prego with baby#4 ( another boy). So needless to say I will be having my tubes tied:) good luck with your decision,it is a tough choice but I'm almost 30 and four kids are more than enough to keep me busy:)

Hi, I have a 3 year old and hoping to have one on the way in the near future, i plan on getting my tubes tied as well. I think it's a great idea if you know for a fact you only want two children:) That's how I feel about it:) Hope that helps
