When can I get “fixed?”

Question

I’m pregnant with my second child, my husband and I don’t want anymore as this pregnancy is taking a huge toll on my body. Do I have to be a certain age or have a certain amount of kids? (Not asking for any rude comments)

Answer

In California it’s 25 or you have to have 2 children. One or the other.

Answer

I had mine done right when I had baby 2. I knew ahead of time there was a high chance I'd need a C section so I told my doctor if it happened just to do it when he was in there. No one gave me any issues when I asked

Answer

I know in Arkansas you have to be 25 and have a boy and a girl to even discuss with your doctor.

Answer

ALSO, if your doctor says no, tell them to document “refusal” in your chart. Usually that’ll help because they don’t want to have to SAY that they refused you

Answer

It depends on the doctor usually. Some won’t let you  until you’re 35 with 3 kids, others will do it no matter what, just need to find a good doctor

Answer

You can just ask to have your tubes tied after birth. Especially if its a c-section.

Answer

Usually the doctors wait til your 25 unless you are sure.  It's only guaranteed for 5 years though.

Answer

Demand that you have it done. Normally Drs listen

Answer

Depends on your doctor. Done want you to be a certain age with so many kids. Im 31, 3 csection. They have me no issues.
