What's your opoion

[rissa_marie]

I'm 21 years old and married with one child. A boy... I'm due again in july 2009. My husband wants me to have my tubes tied but i'm not sure that's what I want.

if you don 't want to do that then don't. he can't force you. if he doesn't want anymore children let him know he can have a vasectomy. it's easier and way safer. it's a simple in office procedure for men where as it's major surgery for us.

my dh and i arn't ready for anymore right now (we just had twin boys 3 months ago) and i had the mirena iud put in. no more condoms and no more worry about having 3 kids within a year of each other. plus if you would decide to have more kids it's a hell of a lot easier to reverse an iud then tubes tied.

I would tell him to get his done. That is what mine plans to do...but im not sure if i am going to let him since i want more kids... But it is a decision only you can make. But an IUD could work as well.

After your baby you could try some other form of contraception that is very effective but less permanent.  Something like IUD should be very suitable and rarely has side effects.  It is also reversible.  Of course, pill or injectables are also options...

I would think at 21 you are too young to do something that is essentially irreversible.  There are plenty of other options.

Wow... to add to what everyone else has said, getting a vasectemoy is a lot more effective and less invasive so if he doesn't want more, I think he should go in and have himself tied. Either measure doesn't 100% prevent pregnancy either. Many women get pregnant while tubes are tied or if their man has had a vasectomy.

I dont even think a doctor will do it at your age... my doc told me I had to be at least 27 before he would consider it or have 3 or more children

u r just 21. dont tide ur tube. ask ur husbantto use precaution unless u dont want to get pregnant again. i m not aware is this possible to open ur tube when u want to get pregnant in future? if yes then u can tide.

i feel like u should do what is most comfortable for u......As a women u know what u want and need in your best entrance....so don't let no man try and dictate what u can and will do even though u are married don't let it cause any thing between u and your husband sit down and talk to him and let him know what u want......

If thats not what you want then dont do it.
