Tubal yes or no

I am having my c section August 1st, this will be my 3rd an my ob advised me with me being as tiny as I am and how much scar tissue I've accumulated it's not safe to have another after this one. This is also my 5th pregnancy I miscarried 2. Me & my husband also talked and are fine with 3 children. But I'm only 25 and knowing that I cannot have kids the rest of my life just doesn't sit well with me. I don't know anyone besides my mom who had her tubes tied but we don't talk. So I have no one to give me advice on it. I also have really bad side effects from birth control even mirena and paraguard.

I would say don't rush into anything your right your still young and still have so much time where you could decide you want one more.. my advice is to not get the tubal keep your options open and if u want another baby down the road get a second or even third opinion every doc is different ! Congrats and keep hope

It is for medical reasons, I can never deliver vaginally my cervix just won't allow it. So I've accepted the fact of c sections. But, this is that one that I just don't know. Hubby is perfectly fine with 3 but what if in 10 years when I'm only 34 I went another? We have already talked about adoption & its 100% a choice. Idk just so much to think about especially since I only have a few weeks left . Thanks ladies

So i decided not to do it.

I was told the same thing.  Its been hard to know that I'm done after this one.  I know for my health and babies its for the best.  Its just that once you have your tubes tied everything is final. As my due date gets closer it starts to get harder.  But I need to trust my gut and my doctor.  Good luck.
