Can you tell me about sterilization. is it better to have it yourself or have the husband have the snip?

Depends: Generally speaking it is less complicated for the male partner to have the procedure. Men can have the procedure in the office, generally with less complications. For female general anesthesia, hospitalization and increased risks exist.

Personal decision: I tend to favor the idea of the man getting the honors. By the time a couple is considering sterilization a woman has usually gone through a birth or two. Time for the man to pay the price for worry free enjoyment of sex!
