What will you be using ?

Hi ladies just wondering what some of you will be using as a birth control after babies are born? I'm thinking IUD but not sure yet.

Looks like a lot of you ladies are going with condoms and I would consider that ,but the husband hates them do probably will go with the cooper IUD (no hormones :)is a plus) thank you all for your input.

My mom sister and I all have the copper IUD. it wasn't too bad. The first week after getting it you bleed a little bit and have some cramps. My mom has had it for 10 years with no problems and my sister for almost 3. I had it for 1 took it out and now I'm 10 weeks pregnant. I personally would recommend it:) and what's nice is it has no hormones so no weight gain:) mirena has hormones which is the other IUD

Condoms and I will be exclusively bf. I actually gof pregnant on the pill and I don't want to do that again. I hated the depo shot so it will be upto my partner to make sure that no more babies come along

I was totally scared of the iud (all those comercials about iuds migrating elsewhere in the body) but all the doctors seem to recommend it and insurance covers it i was told by a doctor. So i think that is what i will go with. And i will keep track of my periods and when i,ovulate becuase i never did that before.
