Birth control

I gave birth 2 months ago and my husband wants me to get on birth control because he is scared we are going to get pregnant again soon but I really don’t want to start on birth control as we still want at least one more child but just not right now. I don’t know what to do…has anyone had this issues?

If you don't want another baby soon you should use some form of birth control. Even condoms.

I got the Paraguard inserted (hormone free IUD) until my cycle returned. Then I removed it and just cycle tracked instead.

Track your cycle.

Could he consider getting a vasectomy? After this pregnancy, I really want to avoid getting pregnant again. I've tried various birth control methods, such as the depo shot, the ring, and pills, but I don’t like the way they affect my body. Chewing Plan B pills definitely isn’t the most pleasant option either, haha! I really dislike that the responsibility for birth control often falls on women. I'm really hoping my husband will opt for a vasectomy.

@Gina that wouldn’t be a good option if they want another child, since it’s permanent! OP, the patch or the Nuvaring might be good options if you don’t want to deal with taking a pill but don’t want something that lasts as long as the implant or IUD!

Withdrawal or barrier are the options my doctor offered
