Best Choice?

I'm 38wks Pregnant and I was wondering what yall would recommend for Birth Control. I was thinking about the Depo shot but I heard it makes you gain a lot of weight? This is the first time ill ever be in birth control nd have no knowledge of any of these.... Any suggestions?

Yes 12. And it gets inserted inside your uterus. You still ovulate unlike hormonal birth control. And its made out of copper and copper kills sperm.

I really dont need more weight gain after all I gained during my pregnancy. Is the Paragard IUD only for 12 years? How does it work?

I gained 60 pounds on depo. In 6 months with exercise and I could NOT get the weight off. I did the Nuvaring and I loved it but I hated taking it out during sex because imo it was slightly uncomfortable during sex. And now I'm on the Paragard IUD. It has no hormones and I LOVVVVVE it. Good for 12 years as well.
