That's not necessarily true.

I was also one who never wanted kids, but we ended up having one. I told my gynocologist that I wanted a tubal ligation while he was doing the c-section (I was too small to have my baby naturally).....he said absolutely NOT.....back in those days (1978) they the thinking was that more women who had the tubal ligations ended up having to have hysterectomies & it was something he wouldn't do when it was so easy for the guy.

Well, I wouldn't let my husband near me until he had it done....cause I wasn't about to get pregnant again. Couldn't take the pill in those days had problems with blood clotting & ended up really sick on it......don't even know if they had the IUD back at that time.....but the other options obviously weren't fool proof (oh, I mean full proof).

He did finally have a vasectomy much to his unhappiness as he wanted more kids.....& I had told him even before we were married that I wanted NONE......so I said the one was my compromise & I wasn't about to compromise past that.
