fredweena, I chose to have a tubal in my mid 20's because of my certainty that I didn't want children, and for no other reason. Whatever debate there is about Nature v. Nurture, I believe that I never had the genetic trigger to procreate. My step-daughter has produced a child and I am delighted with her, but only in terms of how she is learning. It sounds cold hearted but I don't have any emotional connection to the child at all.
I suspect that my ob/gyn's unquestioned response to my wishes was unusual for the '70's, and perhaps continues to be to this day. It would be an interesting question to ask him.
