Larger family in the future

Im about to have our third and i keep getting asked about permanent birth control. And when i tell the doctors no at every appointment they want to know why, try to change my mind or try to get me to get a different contraceptive, after i decline. Its very frustrating. Anyone else ??

Hasn't even been mentioned yet. Seems inappropriate to try to convince you one way or the other. Have you had complications with pregnancies or fertility issues? Struggled with PPD/PPA or caring for your current children? I could see them pushing it if there's a medical reason, but otherwise it's really none of their business.

The same thing happened to me after each of my pregnancies . I even had a Dr argue with me about it as well. The only way I was ever able to shut them down successfully was to exclaim that my husband doesn’t want me on birth control and then they’d stop pestering me right away.

@Audrey nope ! No issues, ive had all 3 the first month of trying, no after care issues. They ask me about clamps and tieing my tubes every single appointment since 30 weeks. And whbe i say no they try to get me on the pill and when i deny that they offer other forms. Its absolutely ridiculous

Weird, I usually hear the opposite of women having trouble finding a doc who will do the permanent procedures voluntarily. It's good that they offer, but the insistence is odd.

@Lorri🌱 eww, it's so wrong that husbands preferences have to be a deciding factor one way or the other for them to respect medical decisions 😡

@Audrey I’m definitely with you there! I was surprised that it kept them quiet each time. It’s my body not his but the fact that they quickly backed off when I stated it was something he also didn’t want pissed me off after I had my second child big time! Like my opinion on my own body doesn’t matter but of course if my husband speaks up they listen to him. 🤦🏻‍♀️
