Ok I know that I have a while to go before I make a certain decision on this but what do you think the BEST method of birthcontrol is after you have a child, and you will be best feeding.

I herd from my doctors it is not good to get on the pill or depo if you will be breast feeding because it releases a hormone that makes it so you dont produce milk Confused

So I was thinking about doing and IUD (( I think that is right, Spelling ))
But you have to wait a couple of months after the child is born to get one.
Couple questions;

What do you think the best method of birthcontrol after labor for a breast feeding momma when it's time to start having sex again?

Has/Have any of you have IUD's? Do you like them? Feel any different from them? I herd there is a string that hangs down in the vagina can that be felt if the male in the realationship wants to use his hands for sexual activity?

I know I have a while to go I am only 22 weeks on friday but help me out, this is a very important decision.

Oh one last thing... Not a fan of condoms. Confused

Oh wow I thought the risks were really lowered for that.

Maybe it happens more than I think tho... Pregnancy while on the pill.

I suppose tho it is possible.

Maybe something like an IUD is much more reliable, as far as birth control.

yeah guys can usually feel the strings hanging down a bit from your cervix but they are flexible and shouldn't bother him
