Welcome to /v/Childfree, a place for those who have chosen not to have children.
Rules:
For members:
• Posts must be related to the Childfree lifestyle or issues that pertain to the childfree. Birth control, legislation, kids in places they typically shouldn't be, examples of good/bad parenting, childfree humor/memes, anecdotes, rants and tales of how you spent your weekend are all fair-game topics!
• Keep it civil! No bigotry, racism or hate speech. No personal attacks or abuse. Do not post anything that advocates or depicts violence to children or anyone else. No trolling! I understand once in a while you may get angry, and that is fine. But if you're only here to be nasty and not contribute, you may be warned and eventually banned.
• Don't insult or harass others outside of this subverse for simply disagreeing with you. Do not brigade other subs. Do not post links to other Voat threads; screenshots are fine. If you do visit another sub because of a post you saw here, try not to vote or comment. Since Voat does not seem to have a "no participation" system in place, we'll have to be on the honor system with this one.
For visitors:
• Don't come here just to say how much you hate this subverse and its members.
• Be kind. We don't deserve insults just because we disagree with you.

I found this link on Planned Parenthood's website: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/sterilization-women
If they can't do it, they still may be able to refer you to someone who can. Also, Reddit Childfree has compiled a list of childfree-friendly doctors.

I'm 23 and sterilized, get a good doc, make an appt, and start talking about it now. Make a list of reasons, be honest and frank, maybe even talk to a counselor to have them write a letter saying you are sane and reasonable in your decision.

Please don't dismiss her beliefs just because she is young. There are many of us, myself included, who always knew we never wanted to have kids. I was firm in my childfree decision well before I reached her age, and now, at 35, I've still not wavered from it.
