Help on choices

I'm pregnant right now (due in june, my second child).  And I'm not planning on having another child for at least two years.  I'm horrible with pills, so I was wondering about an iud...  I have friends that love it and others that have mixed feelings.  I really have never used birth control much (except condoms), and I know there's so many choices out there now!  I just need something easy to remember, effective, and easy to reverse when my man and I are ready for another :-) .

There are two types of IUD's one is copper and one is hormonal. Your doctor can really help give you information on the differences between these. If you really feel uncomfortable about having an IUD, just know IUD's are not the only choice if you don't like the idea of taking pills. There are the depo, the implantin (a little matchstick sized insert they put under the skin in your arm), and rings that you have in for 3 weeks at a time. (And possibly others, but those are the big ones I know about). All of these have their own risks and side effects so you have to keep that in mind too when picking.

This is the site I used to help me decide (my old HMO's website): https://member.ghc.org/kbase/topic.jhtml?docId=tw9516  I find it has good information, but still best to talk to your own dr before choosing one kind.
