My wife and I studied the options after our 3rd child was born (Beautiful child, but a whoopsie!) Me getting sterilized was 90% less expensive, MUCH less invasive, MUCH less chance of complications, and doable as an outpatient procedure rather than a couple days in the hostpital + home recovery.
Talking ME into having it done rather that her wasn’t too hard once we examined the risk and the expense. She also made me a few promises about some things she would do to/for me once I was all recovered (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) to put it over the top . We’ve never regretted our decision!
