I would have a proper conversation with your partner about the future and if you would want more children. If not then by al means get your tubes tied.I, personally, wouldn’t get my tubes tied unless I was 100% done. My man won’t get a vasectomy because of past trauma to his testicles, so he has a genuine fear of any procedure involving them.
Anyone getting tubes tied?
This is my 3rd pregnancy, second baby ( miscarried around 12-13 weeks with the last). I'm considering getting my tubes tied simply because both of my babies will have been unplanned/unexpected and my husband is a huge ass when I'm pregnant. I know it's due in part to my pregnancies coming at the worst times, but he makes them absolutely miserable. He asks me how I feel only to complain about his own aches and pains, gets quickly frustrated to the point that I'm depressed, and shows little to no excitement or concern about the pregnancy/baby. Now, I know once baby is born he flips a complete switch and even puts me to shame with how loving and involved he becomes... I want one more baby, one happy pregnancy. But I just can't handle another unexpected pregnancy or his resulting attitude.
Has anyone felt this way and regretted getting their tubes tied/not getting them tied?

Generally speaking, unless you get a C-section, getting your tubes tied is a hell of a lot more invasive than your husband getting a vasectomy, if he’s willing to get one. Might be worthwhile waiting until his insurance is sorted and just doubling up with hormonal birth control and condoms.

Honestly, I want one more. And I know if we had one more that we'd make it work, but I know he doesn't want another. If we could time it better and get out of the trenches of baby/toddler hood, I think he might feel differently. He's also fine with getting a vasectomy, but he just changed jobs and is without insurance right now so he'd prefer me just get my tubes tied instead. It's just a hard decision to make since I'm weeks away from my due date and I don't want to make a snap decision while I'm so tired and emotional...
I would get them tied even if your a tiny bit on the fence. Get some sort of long lasting birth control. I got mine tied and hate the finality of it. My cousin is getting hers untied this month. It’s very expensive and not 100%. I wouldn’t do it. Plus, it’s made most things a lot harder, periods, sex you name it, it’s all changed and is a lot harder after having my tubes tied

I’m 1000% done having kids as I have a 7 year old and 18 month twins. I’m ok with having my tubes tied now but still, I wish I would gone with birth control instead. I didn’t because I don’t well on them either but there are a lot of different options I wish I had tried before getting my tubes tied.

So my sex drive is 100% gone and I’m now 18 months out, my periods are ALOT heavier and more painful. Ovulation is super painful. Periods are horrible, I bleed through everything and don’t really move much for the first 3 days. Things weren’t like that before I got my tubes tied and it took a while to recover from it.

If it's not TMI. What kind of side effects does it give you as far as sex drive and periods?
