Birth control?

I'm sure I've seen a post with this question before, but I can't find it. I'm wanting opinions on birth control after baby is born. I have less than 8 weeks to decide! I'm 99.9% sure this will.be our last one, but don't want to have my tubes tied. I want the option to change my mind even though I'm sure we won't. I just don't want to take that away therefore I don't want to get pregnant again so what is the best birth control? I've done the shot, loved it because of no periods, but not sure I want to it again. I'm worried about losing baby weight while being on the shot. My weight stayed the same for 7 months after I had my daughter even though I stopped eating sweets and drinking pop. No pill, it's hard for me to remember to take. I was thinking of an IUD, but have been hearing some bad things about them. What do you know/think? Thank you!

I initially decided I wanted to get my tubes tied after this pregnancy when I first found out about it. I thought over several weeks and decided that I don'tlike the permanency of it, either. My plan is to have an IUD placed in following this delivery. This way we will always have the option of having one more...but four is my absolute limit! ;)

I didn't have any problems with my IUD until I found out I was pregnant a year after having it in. I'm now 22+4 weeks. We'll be taking permanent precautions this time. The hubby is going under the knife! Lol

I had the Paraguard for 4 yrs (lasts for 10) before having it removed to get pregnant again. I loved it and the fact that there were no hormones! I tried several options and just couldn't handle the hormones. Yes it did make my period heavier but that was the only side effect I had.
