Oh my gosh Jess!!! I can't beleive that they won't do it for you after 6 kids! I have had 3 c sections in 3 years and my ob was more than happy to clip my tubes and I am only 22. A few midwives had something to say but I went through hell with my last pregnancy and all the c secs so close together. My 1st was an emergency and I was still having trouble with my scar (after an infection) when I fell with DS#2, 10 months later. I fell with DS#3 only 3 1/2 months after the 2nd. Maybe you should go to Taree and see Dr. Walkom, he is terrific.
