I'm sorry, but I think that's ridiculous. I wonder if the Dr. was willing to adopt any subsequent babies she had after that since he didn't think tube-tying was a good idea.

My cousin is 22 and she's had two children already. She has a genetic disorder that causes miscarriages (however she's not miscarried yet so how true is that?) and had a cyst on one of her ovaries. After her first child, she had the ovary with the cyst removed. She's contemplating having the second removed, because not only does she have an infant and a toddler, but she has a pre-teen/early teenaged stepson. Personally, I think it would be hard to take care of any one of those, let alone all three at once.
Her doctors don't want to do it, either, but the fact that she's had two kids when she wasn't supposed to be able to have any may help her get her point across. Plus, not having the other removed may cause problems for her in the future as far as general health.
I don't know the technical terms of any of this, just the layman's terms they used to explain it to me. I do know that my grandmother miscarried six times between my dad and my aunt, which was why my cousins got checked out in the first place.
