I don't know why doctors are pushing tying tubes vs vasectomies. I guess since the tube tying is a "guarantee" for mom who is the one at risk with another pregnancy. Still I would much prefer an IUD.
"We" initially planned on H having a vasectomy. But given that I was having a repeat C, it made sense for me to have a tubal at the same time. Especially because no matter what, I am done, done, done with kids.
My prior OB (when I was pregnant with DS) really pushed the V over the tubal. And he was a male.
thebreakfastclub interesting! My MFM had asked me if I wanted a tubal during my c/s but H was just going to get a V so I declined. Then H "lucked" out because I needed a hysterectomy during my c/s.
I have had 4 C-sections including 3 in 28 months. I had more scar tissue last time and my incision didn't close up right away but I still plan on a 5th. It gets riskier each time and your placenta has a higher chance of growing through your scar. My OB evaluates after each. I would love to have 10 kids but #5 will probably be our last.
