What is your opinion of tubal ligations?
What is your opinion of tubal ligations? My husband and my mother both think I should have my tubes tied. I am 36 years old and have only one son who is nine. Since his birth I've had many miscarriages; his birth was a miracle. I am due with another son and am perplexed now as to whether or not I should have my tubes tied after his birth.
