Tubal ligation or Vasectomy?

Hey yall idk what to do. Im 22 and pregnant with my 3rd all under 3, ive been debating on getting my tubes tied after i give birth but my husband wants to get a vasectomy because we may want more kids later but i really dont think ill want any more and if we do decide to have more we talked about adoption or ivf.

We did both because we wanted to make sure haha. Vasectomies are more reversible than a tubal but from what I hear it's still not an easy thing and not guaranteed to work. If you guys aren't 100% sure I wouldn't do anything permanent

@Rachel he wants more but im 99% sure i dont. He tells me that since were so young and vasectomys are reversible that we should do that but i dont think hell actually go through with it.

I would use long term birth control like the arm implant and reassess in 5 year since you’re saying he isn’t likely to go through with a vasectomy. You both are so young it may be hard to find a doctor willing to do a tubal.

@Dana 🦅♥️🤍💙 ive always had horrible experiences with birth control so i was trying to avoid that hormone torture

It's expensive, but my husband and I are in a similar boat and have decided to save up and then freeze my eggs, then I'll get my tubes tied. When we're ready, we'll do surrogacy. He is uncomfortable with the vasectomy (but agreed to do a consultation whenever I do a consult for the tubal ligation so we can see both sides) but either way we will do surrogacy later on, then adopt/foster when we are older. I'm 23 now with one baby, but it was a really high risk pregnancy.
