    Contraception between babies

    I just had my 4 week MCH appt and of course contraception was discussed. It got me thinking, because I know that I will have to discuss it with my Ob next week too. I am breastfeeding so the pill (not minipill) is not an option, and there is a possibility that I will have another baby down the track. I'm not even sure I know what is available and suitable...

    So what have others done for contraception between babies?

    We used condoms and then got sick of that because they hurt too much - and we much prefer NOT to use them

    So now we just DTD in the non fertile parts of my cycle if we aren't TTC Worked so far!!

    Interesting!! We were pretty much the same last time, condoms and billings method! I just wondered if there are other options because they just aren't that much fun really!

    We used condoms. We didn't find them a hassle and we both enjoyed me being off hormonal contraception. So after this baby we'll have to look at something else because I'm never going on the pill again.

    If condoms didn't cause me pain during sex, then I would definitely stick with them over any other hormonal contraception. That's why I'm not on the pill

    Contraception between babies

    I used the mini pill after dd1 never again, it made me so hungry I stacked on 10kgs really fast and I had breakthrough bleeding. We swapped to condoms, and then after dd2 we didn't use anything, I guess that's why we are having no 3 so close. After this one I will probably go back on the implant implanon until we have decided for certain that three is enough.
