I'm waiting a few months to let my body heal

6 weeks

Not necessarily because if you breast feed it can take a long time to get your period. You can still get pregnant though, so they ask you what type of low hormonal birth control you'd prefer if breastfeeding. Like the mini pill for example. If you aren't breast feeding you'll likely get your period sooner...or even if you don't you can still become pregnant. Usually the soonest you can get birth control is 6 weeks at your post partum check-up because doctor's recommend not having sex until 6 weeks as well. @lisamartinez668 If you do have sex before then, you should use condoms. It's pretty rough on the body after giving birth and to put it through another pregnancy before 18 months can be tough on a woman. Obviously it's case by case and a lot of women get pregnant again before their baby reaches a year old but it's still hard on the uterus nevertheless

@melina.a.613, is that the soonest you can get it? they probably want you to get a period first huh?
