If a couple doesn’t want more kids and consider surgical options, who should do it. Husband or wife?

[Anonymous]

Question as above. Friends just did this and DH & I are discussing

Husband. I carried two kids and pushed them out of my body, so he can do something.

Husband, DUH. Not too invasive, outpatient, low-risk, etc., etc.

[Anonymous]

Husband. Less invasive.

Any husbands care to weigh in?

This. My DH was happy to do it. We don’t have biokids together.

This, although in my case it was three kids. His turn to take one for the team.

Seems like about 95% of the time it is the husband. The only time I hear of a woman getting her tubes tied is during a C Section but not as a separate surgery

Husband. Not only is it less invasive, the woman has already beared the burden of the birth control for decades (usually).

We both did it. I had my tubes tied during my c-section. He had a vasectomy 6 months later. We wanted to be 100% certain that there are no more babies.

Husband, because it is a less invasive, less risky surgery.

[Anonymous]

Husband. Less risky and can be reversed if needed.

I had my tubal done during my c-section with our 2nd. Had I delivered vaginally, it would have been on DH to get a vasectomy.

Husband unless you're already on the table for a C-section and want to get your tubes tied. There is no other answer here as far as I'm concerned

I know a woman who did, but her DH is horrible and was actively messing with her BC. Trust me, no one thinks he’s reasonable.
