At least it wasn't pushed.
The only thing about this (which by the way was a great idea) is that my mother had a Dr who believed it was his mission to prevent any woman from having more than one child, especially if they'd had to have C-sections. He wanted her to get her tubes tied after her second child. She said no. It was about 10 years later that after trying fruitlessly to conceive that her new Dr discovered that her tubes had been tied while she was unconcious during her second c-section. The biggest thing about this was that both my parents were educated people with college degrees, good jobs, and had two healthy children already that they were caring for responsibly. Now tell me why he did it.
