Question for those who've recently had a baby (last 6 mo)

[martikadragoon]

Ok, this is for those of you who have had a baby or been preggo in the last 6 months.  Did you get on any form of BC. and if NOT,

Has your DH or BF or significant other gotten paranoid that your gonna get preggo again soon?

I'm only on the VCF (foam)  and have used it religiously. I have begun to take more vitamins, simply because it is helping my back pain. I am taking prenatals (since there are more vitamins in them, and Calcium supplaments)
Yesterday DH pops off with "I don't want you drinking any alcahol in case you get pregnant. and I won't drink it either"

I said, What do you mean? I'm not pregnant and don't plan on being preggo anytime soon.  then he said "JUST Incase, I don't want you drinking anything... if you do get pregnant I want the baby as healthy as possible."
TheN I asked him if he thought I'd done something to cause TJ to have the problems he does and he said definitely NO.

Today I asked him" Do you think I'll end up pregnant here soon?" and he said YES.... I asked why and he said he just does... He didn't seem mad or scared, but it was interesting to say the least. My son TJ will be three months old the day after tomorrow. I had a csection (and already have a %50 of another one for health reasons) but want to officially try for #2 in June or July of 2009.

DS is almost 7 weeks old now. We've decided to stick w/condoms, at least while I am breastfeeding. BCPs and the like often interfere w/breastfeeding & milk supply even when they claim not to. My body has been through enough in the past year! lol.... DH is fine with it. It works for us; we used them for a year between the time I stopped BCP and when we started ttc. After awhile it's just not a big deal and you learn to forget that it's even there. Besides, we have a newborn - sex is very rare these days anyway! :)

It's natural for your man to be concerned about another pregnancy, but just keep assuring him that you're on the same page as far as prevention until next summer. If he keeps on it, tell him it's offensive and to back off. You know what you're doing. In the meantime, enjoy yourself and TJ before you've got our hands full with a new one again!

i've been rereading some peoples posts about the mirena....when did you start to gain weight with it? was it right away or after time? i REALLY don't want to gain weight considering i'm trying to loose it ( i work out 3-5 days a week for 1-2 hours each time and i watch every thing i put in my mouth....i'm not used to being this heavy.....)

ohhh my twins just turned 3 months old 2 days ago!!! YAY! lol. after i had the boys i used yaz for an entire week (it dried up my milk almost completely and i'm STILL having milk issues) then i was on arrin (a progesterone only pill) but i got sick of having to take it at the exact same time every day (i'm bad with remembering stuff like that) so i got the mirena put in almost 2 months ago.it's been great. dh and i used condoms for about 3 weeks but now we don't and i'm not preggo. if you get something like mirena it is uncomfortable getting it put in and you have af like (very mild af like) cramping and irregular bleeding and spotting for up to 6 months then from 6-12 months it's supposed to be very light af and after 12 months still light or no af at all. and it lasts for 5 years (or sooner if you do want another).

i do still take my prenatals for the milk i do produce for the boys not to mention it keeps my nails growing like crazy and my hair super awesome.

My son will be four months old on the 22nd, I am currently taking birth control pills, I don't like the pills but I am a little paranoid about an IUD and I dont' want the shot, I've known several people who have not been happy with it.. as far as just using condoms we dont think thats "safe" enough.. i want more kids eventually but definately not this close in age.. my mom had me and my sister 10 months apart.. its nice being close but from what my mom says it was very hard on her body and that she wouldn't recommend it.. my husband is VERY paranoid about another pregnancy, even with me taking my pills regularly we know nothing is 100% but we've decided to try to prevent it the best we could till a later date..
