Good grief, is the failure rate as high as 1 in 300..... They still tell us at uni that it's 1 in 1000. I have known loads who have got pregnant after sterilisation and go on to deliver. The thing that most of them have in common is that they are sterilised either at C section or immediately post partum instead of waiting a couple of months. The reasons for this are either they would be pregnant again within a few weeks of having their baby or they don't wish their family (sometimes including partner) to know they are being sterilised.

One lass who I looked after a few years ago got pregnant after both herself and her partner had been sterilised. Unlucky or what!!!!
