i would say wait...my hubby and i were thinking about doing the same after this one is born (only on him) as we both know we want NO MORE kids....right now anyways. we both agree this is it for now and we will take EVERY precaution we can to keep it that way. however we both agree that being so young and havong two back to back...we dont not want to jump into something so permanent because if our finances and such allow us to a few years down the road...i think we would like to have one more. but like a few years down the road. but after that we will be done for sure! haha but as of right now we are done...we just dont want permanize it just yet....

My personal choice would be for my husband to have a vasectomy, but it is a personal choice. If you really do not want any more children then since you are having a c-section anyway it might work for you. I just think the hubby should have to do something, because I had the babies. Probably a bad reason, but that`s how I feel.

No, please don`t do it. It is such a serious procedure for a woman. Your husband should have a vasectomy. Women deal with the birth control side of things for most of their lives; men should have to do it when it comes to something permanent. For women, permanent sterilisation is a SERIOUS procedure, for men, while still a huge decision to make, and probably quite nerve-wracking, it is in no way near as big a thing as it is for a woman. The vasectomy is a simple outpatient procedure, with huge success rates, and hardly any side-effects. Tubal ligations, however, can wreak havoc with a woman`s hormonal system and can have terrible side-effects. Read on up on both, then both of you make a decision.

Looks like I am horribly outnumbered already, lol. Thanks for your input ladies!

I just think it is too permanent and you are still young. Anything could happen to change your circumstances. Personally, I would send the husband. Vasectomies are more easily reversed than tubals.

I am in a similar situation, 27, married to the greatest husband, a beautiful daughter with a son on the way. At first I said I wanted a tubal ligation during my c section with this baby but after some thought I changed my mind. When my dd was born and even when I was pg with her my dh and I said ONLY ONE CHILD!!! We were SET and FIRM!!! NO MORE KIDS. Well, that changed by about 4 months pp and here I am preg with our second. Of course now we are saying absolutely no more this time for sure, and I really do think that this will be our last, but you just never know. The way I see it, God has a plan for our family and I don`t want to do something so permanent. My dh and I have decided if in a couple years after having our son we still do not want kids, he will get a vasectomy, which is waaaay less invasive and easier to recover from and not to mention, reversible. Good luck :)
