I am expecting my third in April and there is no way on this earth I ever ever want to be pregnant again - even if something happened I don't think I would want to go through this again. I am considering an elective section and was thinking about sterilisation as opposed to the coil. what experience do you have of the effectiveness? I had a coil after my first but it gave me really bad tummy pains and they removed it. Concerned that could not have sterilisation done during section, opt for coil and it doesn't work out then have to consider having anothr operation. I really don't want to take the pill and want a more permanent/long term option.
Some people have said on other threads that sterilisation is only 80% effective and the Marie Stopes website says that the chances of getting pg are 1 in 200 - isn't that quite high???
