We are trying for our 4th baby which will be our last and I want to ask for a C Section so that I can be steralised at the same time. What do you think my chances are? Is there anyone who has asked their doc the same thing?

I had my first set of twins naturally and my second set by caesarean section. The only good thing about the c-section was that they did sterilise me at the same time. I never wanted a caesarean and I was right ! I had a haematoma (a swelling full of pus and blood) caused by this procedure and when I had the stitches removed, the haematoma burst and I was left with a hole in my stomach the size of a ten pence piece which I had to stick a sanitary pad to every day for a week or so.
I don't know how old your other three children are but my twins are 18 months apart so I had to deal with this aswell as having four kids under two.
Although I lost all my weight, my belly looks a right mess now and is slightly swollen on one side. It's up to you but, personally, I would have gone for the natural birth and sorted out the sterilisation at another time.
Unlike Twisty, the sterilisation had no effect on my periods.

As far as I'm aware, yes you can ask you Dr if you can have a C section, but many Dr's will not agree unless you have a labour phobia or its an emergency. It also depends how you had your previous babies because if you had them naturally, then the answer will probably be no as they will say you have done it three times ok why not once more?
I dont think the hospital would sterilise you at the same time with a C section because a c section is a major abdominal operation in its own right and when i had mine (an emergency, as my daughters heartbeat almost stopped) it took ages to get back to normal as it was painful and i couldnt walk properly for 4 days, couldnt laugh and it hurt when i coughed!!!
If i could have had a normal birth, i would of!
Good luck with 4th babe x

You can but don't see why you would want to. It hurts and takes alot longer to recover and you will find it hard with three others to look after. I would have a natural birth and get tubes tied a few weeks after if you can't at the time of the birth. If you elect to have a c section, I think you have to go private unless there is a medical reason for it and that would not be considered a medical reason.

Why do people always say this? How on earth can you have your fallopian tubes tied during a caesarean? I have had both procedures done, and there is no way! When your womb is cut open they can't reach your tubes, think about it. Also, having had a normal delivery, there is no way I'd choose to have a section. It's REALLY bad having your belly cut open, it takes months to recover, it's difficult cuddling your baby, and you have 3 other children. Need I say more?
Also, I'll just add, that after you have your tubes tied, you have very heavy periods. nobody warned me about that beforehand, and i don't know why it happens. make him have the snip instead!

when i had a c section i was in hospital for over a month recovering, my son is now 22 months and i have only had 3 periods in the time since he was born!
i wouldnt recomend a c section, just have a natural birth and then book yourself in to be sterilised after the birth!
good luck!

You can be done without having a c-section and the recovery is much nicer and quicker.
I've had both at separate times, go for natural child birth if you can and just have keyhole surgery for the sterilisation!

You do not want to have a "C" section if it isn't necessary. They will tie your tubes by 3 small incisions that they perform by a scope. This procedure is very painless. "C" Sections take longer to recover from than normal child birth.

Do you mean having your tubes tied.....I think they can do that even if you give birth vaginaly....but if you would like a c-section talk to your OBGYN and tell he/r your concerns and they will help you make the right decision for you..........having a c-section vs. vaginal is a lot harder on your body and takes longer to heal

Cesarean section is the position (after an epidural so there is no discomfort) an incision is made in the mum's abdomen. the child is taken from the womb by ability of the incision. A vaginal start is foremost each and every time conceivable.

why on earth would you want a c-section? i had my baby boy 5 months ago and the lady in the next bed had had one for medical reasons. she wasn't allowed to move for 24 hours and she had drips and wires coming from her. it looked the worse thing ever not only that she couldn't hold her baby properly. they wouldn't do one anyway just coz you wanted one.
