Contraception Without the Husband's Permission for the Sick Woman

Question
I had a retinal detachment surgery and was being treated for osteoporosis, but I didn't complete the treatment because my husband wants me to get pregnant; I have three daughters, and my eyesight deteriorates with each pregnancy. During my first pregnancy, I had a detachment, and pregnancy is very difficult for me. I am afraid for my eyes, and my bones are weak, and my husband does not want me to use contraception. So, if I take contraception without his knowledge, will I be sinful?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The child belongs to both the husband and the wife, and neither of them may deny the other's right to the child without their consent. You must obtain your husband's approval to prevent pregnancy by any means, and God knows best.
