This is what I'm afraid of... my partner and I got pregnant after being together for only about 5 months or so. Luckily we naturally move fast and were already really stable in our relationship and were very committed and were already planning to move in together. After pregnancy we don't have much of a plan for contraception. I 100% cannot get birth control for personal reasons. Condoms don't seem to work for us. We tried and he just didn't feel anything and for me it felt really odd and wasn't very attractive. We're going to try female condoms soon, crossing my fingers they work for us. And spermicide is a thought. He really doesn't like pulling out and hasn't had a lot of practice with it (I took his virginity) and he's normally very smart but of course he loses his mind to his primal instincts in the bedroom, so he's not likely to make the right decision and pull out 100% of the time. We can just barely afford this baby and I don't want another yet. I cant bare the thought of being pregnant again right after this, and I'm pro-life so I can't afford to mess up.

There's a lot of other options. There's iud implants (hormonal and non hormonal) and the monthly shot you can take instead of the pill.

If you exclusively breastfeed that can help supress ovulation. Use that in combination with tracking your fertility signs like cervical fluid and cervical position etc, ovulation tests, bbt. You can also get a sponge to use with spermicide.

If it requires that a doctor look at my vagina, I can't do it.

@gallyzephie8715, giving birth is going to require a doc looking at your vag....?...

@arivera64 I'll be breast feeding exclusively for about the first 6 months, so that should work. I still want to be 100% sure I don't get pregnant though, so I need something else along with that. And of course when I'm done breast feeding I still need a plan.

@jlf240 Yes, and that's the only time it will happen. Even while giving birth though I'll be covered up with a cloth as much as possible.

Well if you don't want actual birth control, your options to prevent are very limited as you know. Maybe if you haven't already, try different types of condoms. Thin ones, sheep skin or something....?

Try the Trojan bareskin. My boyfriend hates condoms and those are the only ones he will wear.

I think doctors look at your vag when you're pregnant more times than just when you're giving birth... Plus it's sooo important to have regular cervical cancer screenings. But anyway. I hate birth control cause it turns me into a bitch but im gonna have to take it lol

How do you plan to get your cervix checked ? Once you hit 36 weeks plus

Not sure if you've been to the doctor yet but when I went they did a pap smear and stuck some swabs up me to test for ghonorrea and chlamydia which I think is pretty standard. They check ya for everything. Just so you are prepared.....

Oh nvm you're pretty far along you've obviously been to the doctor lol

I am wanting to try this, it is a gel lube that prevents pregnancy.

@shellbell0391 Sure do if you decide to go to one.
Katie·
@ajsmommy7 I won't be.
Katie·
@shellbell0391 I'm aware. I went for my first checkup at maybe 4 months and they had to do an exam legally in order to do a sonogram. I had a panic attack and then went home.

@mrsschmalz That sounds awesome! I'll definitely have to try that. Are there any specific ones you recommend? We'll probably be looking at Walmart or Wegman's.
