I've had 2 c-sections, and its easy for the doctor to do while he's in there with minimal additional expense (since he's already in the general area anyhow) - hopefully her doctor encouraged her to consider that option. (I know that my doctor told me during my 2nd pregnancy that if I was ever planning to have a tubal, it would be easy for him to do during my scheduled c-section.)

Thanks for the clarification. Too many people suggest things like that seriously. I agree that she shouldn't be having children without the ability to pay for them, but the article doesn't give the full story. The assumption that "dad" isn't working because the state takes care of him is pretty groundless without more information.
I've actually heard that getting a tubal post C-Section is less effective than as a seperate procedure. Something about your body being more likely to heal itself post-partum or something like that.

Yeah tell me about it. Unfortunately it's happened. If you want a tubal when on medicaid you have to submit a written request at least 3 months in advance. (At least in some states) This is to prevent doctors from taking the opportunity and running with it.
