Sterilisation after c-section - any experience?

[Marquand]

I'm 34 weeks pregnant with DC3, and at 43 years old, my womb will definitely be closed for business after this one. I'll be having a c-section, and my gynae has mentioned the option of having my tubes tied at the same time.

I'm tempted.

Has anyone else had this done? What is your experience? (I've asked DP, and he is not interested in having the snip. He is also not interested in having more kids.)

My consultant refused to do it at the time of my section, because it isn't as reliable, due to everything being swollen from the pregnancy.

I accepted it, but was a bit shocked when they did my friend under a year later.
