Wait and see as British proverb.
It is too early to take a decision.

Sterilization is a very permanent procedure and one that is not reversable. There are some good web sites that explain the procedure and explain that it is not reversable so no matter what happens in the future you cant have children anymore. You are right , no one knows what the future holds and you would be best to keep all your options open. if I was you I would not undertake something that is that permanent. After your third you can go on the pill or have a shot or other long term contraception. Sterilization is an option for some women but not all so no I would not do it. The fact that you have doubts indicates to me that sterilization is not the right option for you.
Also don't listen to other people they are not you, follow your heart, and do what you think is best. Good luck in your decision - whatever you decide.

I've had much the same thing said to me (I too have 3 kids) but I'm not completely sure it is what I want. The operation is reversable but at a price and it's success is not guaranteed. Don't do anything you are not 100% sure about. It is your body, your life and ultimately your decision. Don't feel pressurised into making a premature decision that yuo might live to regret.If you don't want anymore children at the moment there are various forms of birth control which are effective and simple enough! Sterilisation seems so final in comparison and is something yuo need to be definitely sure is the answer for you. Good luck and hope you find the right decision for you honey x x x

Decide. Then get fixed. Sterilization is a great form of birth control, but only if you are really done. Otherwise you'll regret it. So get an IUD and take the next 2 years to decide. After the baby is two, make your choice. Family size should be a decision only you and your spouse make together.

I wouldn't let others tell you what they think is right for you. If your unsure I wouldn't do it. There are so many options out there that can keep you from getting pregnant again until your ready - I would opt for one of them instead of sterilization. Then in the future if you decided for your self that you want to you can get sterilized at a later date.

I don't think you should get sterilized. As long as you can support your children, there is nothing wrong with having more. It's your personal decision.. but i think that as long as you are able to support you children, you should leave the option open :)

Don't listen to anyone, only yourself. If you are stable, financially and emotionally, are married and are taking care of your other children great, then it doesn't matter what others think. If you don't want any more children, just go on birth control. But until you make up your mind for sure, don't do anything drastic.

NO because you are unsure, who cares if you already have 3 kids before this baby is born. It is your life, your choice. Only do what you feel is right for you and your family not what suits such and such down the street.

Why not try a longer term contraception eg mirena coil or implant until you decide. Sterilisation is very final and it doesn't sound as though you have fully decided. And theer is nothing wrong with having more than 3 children.

Every one keeps telling my partner the same, to get the snip he has 4 kids, 2 with me 2 with his previous partner (1 of which is not his biologicly).
Ireally dont want him to, as like you think its very final and dont want that decision taken away, Im 23 and dont know how Im going to feel about it in say 3yrs.
Dont do it if its not your decision.
Best wishes to you, your kids and baby!
