I wouldn't get my tubes tied even if I didn't want more children. It's major surgery and should be avoided. I'm 32 and this is my first baby. I was on the pill until I was 24, but since, I always controlled my period and fertile windows, and avoided pregnancy that way. There is nothing like knowing your own body, how it works..

Don't you have to be 25? I heard it is really difficult to convince a dr to tie your tubes before your late twenties...my sister in law's pregnancies are dangerous for her and she has a history of cervical cancer...she gave birth to her 2nd child and gave her up for adoption but because she is 24 (25 in a few weeks) they wouldn't even consider tieing her tubes..I say if that is what you really want then go for it! I just hope that they actually let you!

Why do we have to get our tubes tied? Can't he get the snip instead? I would let him get it first as u can always do IVF if u change ur mind in yrs to come however once u have ur tubes tied u can no longer have any more.  Just a thought

I wouldn't. I would get some kind of birth control. My mom got her tubes tide n when she married my step dad they wanted a baby but its expensive so reverse.

I say never make that decision while pregnant. Or right after giving birth. You might regret it. But that is only my opinion :-)

I wouldn't.  If there's even 1% doubt in your mind don't do it. You're still young and might regret it later.

If you're 100% sure you're done, then do it. But if you're not 100%..then go with a longterm birth control like an iud instead. Tubal litigation isn't easy to reverse

I think getting my tube tied would just be to final you know.... what if a few years down the line you want another child but can't anymore.... my sister got hers tied 8 yrs ago and now she is going through a time where she wants another baby and gets into a depressed  mood..... I think the 10 year birth control  would be best

This is my husband and I third and final. I am a lil older (31), a career woman and love to travel...I have fulfilled my desire to have a family and now just ready to expose my family to this beautiful world we live in. I'm getting my tubes tied...but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is what I want. You have to decide what you want and go with it..even if that means birth control until you know for sure what you want.

As long as you are very sure that you dont want anymore children go for it..i think its reversablie procedure anyway i think but im not 100% on that...im 32 myself and this is my 4th pregnancy so definetly no more babies for me but since i have gone through the childbirth my husband is getting a vasectomy(its only fair lol) and its a much easier recovery for a man

I'm 25 and on my 3rd child too! I've talked to my husband and we have decided after this baby we are done. I'm getting my tubes tied. I know I'm still young, but I think 3 is a good number and I feel like our family will be complete. Do what you feel is best for you. Don't let too many peoples opinions effect yours. It's not up to anybody but you. I have people tell me yes do it and others that say I'm too young and I will regret it. But at the end of the day I'm the one raising the kids, supporting them emotionally and financially and I feel like 3 is enough for me!!
