'Doctors refused to sterilise me'

This comment is in response to a post on our Facebook page about why a mom chose to get sterilised.



When my second was born 17 months after the first I really, really wanted to be sterilized. My doctors refused.

It was my decision to make and I knew all the consequences. They still refused.

I wish now I had been more stern because I'm not keen on going through another op to have it done when it could've been done when my second was delivered via c-section. There's the possibility that all your kids can pass away at once but having another won't replace the ones you lost.
