A hospital registrar came to visit me on her rounds 30 mins before I went into theatre for an elective c-section. I'd never met her before. (Some context - I decided to have the c-section the previous day in conjunction with a hospital consultant for very good reasons. I'd signed the consent forms and done the pre-op etc.
So, with 30 mins to go before going into theatre, the registrar questioned my decision to have a cesarean and told me how difficult it would be to have a future vaginal delivery. I told her that with 2 children already and age 40, we have decided not to have any moe children. She then said "So, what you are telling me, what you are trying to say, is that you want your tubes tying at the same time as your cesarean." I said that no, I did not want that. She then questioned me about what contraception I'd be using in future.
I was vulnerable - in a hospital gown and nervous before going into theatre. She was standing over me, her tone throughout was passive- aggressive and hectoring. It was also clear from a couple of things she said that she hadn't looked at my notes.
AIBU to think this is out of order? Isn't sterilization something you need time to think about with all the relevant pros and cons?
