Shalom! I am a non Jewish G-d fearing woman with two children and even though I am still quite young (24) I don't want to have any more children. I have severe depression and anxiety so the two I already have are a big challenge for me! In both my pregnancies my anxiety was even worse so I couldn't imagine to go through this process again (willingly) and I am very much against abortion. But the problem is that due to family history of thrombosis, I am not advised to take birth control in form of hormones. I would therefore like to have my tubes tied to be on the safe side...

I heard that tubal ligation is prohibited for Jews, but what about Noahides? Does this prohibition also apply for us?

According to sefer Sheva Mitzvot Hashem, (Vol II, helek 5, 9:1), a tubal ligation is permitted for bnot noach. And further says: that even more than this could be done for reasons of safety or health issues.
