[quote=Anonymous]I think your feelings are understandable, and if you've previously used an IUD and found it painful, I would focus on explaining that point to him. Say that you have direct knowledge that an IUD is going to be painful for you, and vasectomies usually have limited downtime.

I would steer away from your more general argument that "I feel like we women do all the work, suffer the most, and then after pregnancy and childbirth we are still expected to add hormones or [b]insert things into our bodies[/b] so we don't get pregnant while the man continues to do whatever he wants without a worry." I personally don't agree with you that having something inserted into your body is plainly worse than having surgery done on your body in which something is inserted into your body and part of your body is sliced in half and cauterized, and I suspect your husband doesn't either. Instead, make sure to explicitly recognize that having a vasectomy is in fact a big deal, but it is the best option for your family under the circumstances.[/quote]
