Birth Control After Having Your Baby? Posted: 01-17-06 15:21pm
Hey I was wondering if all of you used
some form of birth control method after
having your baby. I don't want to get
pregnant for at least a couple of years
after having my baby....(i'm due february
1st, 2006)! But I want to space my kids
out by at least a couple of
years....Actually i'd love to have another
one once this one is like two years old or
so. That way I can spoil her, get used to
being a mommy, and get back to my
pre-pregnancy weight-you know and just
give my body a break. But I don't really
want to use any form of birth control just
be careful and try not to have sex on my
most fertile days. But I figure if it
happens then it happens. What do you
girls think?

I wouldn't recommend that, for a couple of
reasons (but I have not had any kids).
Keeping track of your fertile and
less-fertile days is very unreliable
because you are only less fertile at
certain times of the month. You can still
get pregnant if you are not using any form
of protection.
Secondly, think of what it will do to your
sex life and how limited it will be. I
think it would be a mood killer if you
only had certain days where you would have
sex.
If you really don't want to use birth
control, use condoms, but have an
emergency backup (like the morning after
pill) with you at all times just in case
the condom breaks.
