So I live in CA as does my entire family except my bro who lives in TN. He and my grandma talk all the time. They are like two peas in a pod.
This is my third baby but my first with my DH. My other two are from my Exhubby. Well, apparently my grandma and bro have everything figured out for me. She told him that she was going to talk to me as soon as LO is born to tell me I need to get my tubes tied....She is going to tell ME to get MY tubes tied!! Not only is it none of her business, why are she and my BROTHER discussing my tubes??
I told my mom and she laughed for two days over it. I mean, it is pretty funny. My grandma says whatever comes to her mind. She has zero filter between the brain and the mouth. Sadly, this is a family curse but at least I can curb it a little bit. 
I told DH and he is Catholic so we decided that my response is going to be this..."Well, I have decided to convert and become Catholic and that means that we are not going to use any birth control at all and see how many children God blesses us with." I am of no particular religion and she is Pentocostal and will poop a brick the size of Texas.
Hope all you ladies have a great day!

Thank you for giving me an answer for my mother who asked the same question! I always wonder why some people need to be so involved in something that is completely not their business. At least you have a wonderful sense of humor.
Hahaha! Love the Catholic response! Priceless.
Seriously though, what's wrong with your brother? It's a little easier to excuse a grandmother, if I picture her as some senile old lady, but your brother has no excuse. It's your body, your business. We're in a similar situation (my 3rd kid, Dh's 1st.) Family has been very opinionated about how we shouldn't have more kids but they are positive we'll keep getting knocked up. I don't understand why family feels like they have a right to discuss a woman's body and sex life. It's private and none of their damn business!

Baby #3, October 2, 2012
The rest of my family has stayed pretty quiet about the whole thing which has been nice.
Oh well....it is our lives and we are adults to do what we choose
Im from the November Board, but the Doctor seems to think my baby will be here in October, so I visit this board from time to time
I can definitely relate! I posted on facebook (I only have family members and close friends on there) about how a doctors appointment went, which was fine, no issues or anything, and my Grandmother felt the need to post " I hope you are getting your tubes tied, you need to, having babies is so unhealthy for women, it tears their bodies down and you will have two children that need you alive." Umm.... so if I have any more kids Im going to die??? Thanks for letting me know, my doctor must have left that out! SMH!
My aunt (only 10 years older than me, with 2 oops kids) keeps saying that I need to be more careful and quit announcing babies.
