In ohio , you gotta be 21 with 3 kids or 25 with 3 kids . And it depends if your doc will do it or not then . I know this girl that is bout to get hers done when she turns 21 on the 29th of this month . She has 3 kids already . But you also gotta be positive you want it done . If your doc won't do it , ask to speak to other docs .

My Dr was okay with doing mine after my last baby. I'm only 24 and have 3 kids. She said I had to be 100% sure I wanted it done.

My office told me at 18 when you're "legal" to sign your own documents. Many doctors just don't want to do it in fear of regret or being sued if you decide you want another baby and can't have one so they make you wait until 25+ , 2-3+ kids.

You usually have to wait until 25 but I've heard women get it sooner after having 2+ children.
