Girls,

I have been thinking about this a lot too.........

After Olivia I knew I was happy to get pregnant again "whenever" and was BF, so we never bothered with any contraception and hence I have only 17 months between children!

BUT this time round there is NO WAY I am leaving it to chance again. So on the one hand am keen to get myself on the mini pill at least, as soon as I have given birth. But also have heard so many mood swing stories that this worries me about the pill. (Prior to TTC I used Marvelon which was great: no weight gain, no mood swings, but this is a full normal combination pill?)

Has anyone investigated the thought of continuing to chart to avoid pregnancy? (Or am I kidding myself?)

Or the injection type contraception?

From memory, one of the first things the midwives asked me after I gave birth to Olivia was "What contraception do you need" so I will be asking their advice for sure!
