Please what ever you do really examine the effects of having a tubaligation after giving birth. I thought with 3 children I would not want any more kids and I found my perfect mate after my divorce and cannot consummate my relationship. I truly believe this relationship will be my last. We have been together for 10 years off and on but six years straight. He has a son by a girl who uses the child as a pawn and I cannot provide him with contentment. I want another child but again my tubes were tied clipped and burnt. Oh by the way do not underestimate the side effects which is a big stomach for life.. Check everyone who had their tubes tied and you will see their stomachs are huge.
