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.

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 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. Less risky and can be reversed if needed.

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

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

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