Tubal Ligation after giving birth

Anyone else having this done?  I would prefer to get it done before leaving the hospital...but I know some doctors won't do it immediately after giving birth.  I plan on asking my Doctor about it tomorrow at the appointment.

I am 25 wks along with a 'surprise' pregnancy...my beautiful baby boy was NOT planned.  I am 38 yrs old and do NOT plan on having any more little ones.

I have no reason to suspect I will need a CS. But, if it comes down to that, I will have the tubal litigation done at the same time.

The hospital I work at does offer is the day after birth. They do it the following morning. You have to be NPO (nothing to eat or drink) after midnight, and you will have IV fluids going, then they take you for the procedure 1st thing in the morning. Typically it doesn't make the hospital stay any longer or anything.

A lot of people change their mind when they find out they will be awake from the procedure. They will not put you under that close to giving birth. If you wait until your 6 week post delivery visit, they will. Not sure if that matters to you, but a lot of moms choose to wait when they find that out. GL!

This.  If my my DH still refuses to get the snip, I'll have my OB do it a few months later in an out patient center.

Mine will do it right away during a c-section or make you wait 6 weeks (I think) for a vaginal birth. I am on the fence about whether to do it or not, but I am having a RCS so it will be done as soon as DC is born.

my mom had one done after my brother, not sure how long afterwards she got it done. my brother was born vaginally, so she went back to have it I think?

I plan on having a RCS and having a tubal done right there.  I am 40 and this was a beautiful surprise pregnancy.  I thought we were "one and done" (medical issues) and I don't plan to have anymore after this LO.

I'm having this done, I'm 35 and this is our third (and was a surprise).  My dr will do it right after birth while I'm still feeling the epidural.  He will make a small incision near my belly button since the uterus will still be high.  It will be a 20 minute procedure.  He said I could also wait 6 weeks and have it done then, but then I will need 3 days of down time with a newborn and a 3 & 4 year old at home.
