Just after a bit of advice about how to persuade the consultant that this would be a good idea! Will be having cs#3 with this one, which will be third pg and third dc (although dh's second). Am mid thirties.
No point in discusssing why dh won't have the snip as have been round and round in circles on this and as, as the one most adament about not wanting any more, it is up to me to get contraception sorted long term.
Hormonal contraception doesn't suit me and have tried them all! Am wary of copper coil, as mirena insertion had led to PID in the past. Neither of us really like condoms and, with three small children we'll need all the spontaneity we can muster! Abstinance - no thanks!
I'll need to broach the subject of sterilisation with the consultant and if things go ok during the section, ideally would like to have it done then. I'm aware of all the risks, I.e the chance of post partum swelling leading to failure but am 'aware' enough of my body/cycle should that happen.
Has anyone got any experience of this and how best to push for it?
