Question! So my midwife told me that breastfeeding IS a form of birth control for 6 months... That it suppresses the pregnancy hormone and raises oxytocin.. I'm pretty sure? Is that true?! I really don't want to go on birth control but don't want to get pregnant again for a few years
@ababy16, I don't blame you for wanting to choose birth control. I myself might be leaning that way.
@babygirl71716, that's what it says on planned parenthood! That if you don't have a period while breastfeeding you won't get pregnant.. And my midwife told me the same thing. I definitely don't want to chance it though. Thank you ladies for the responses!! Guess I'll be choosing the lesser of all evils of birth control 😩
I have seen so many people posting this....
you are 100?pable of getting pregnant AGAIN while breastfeeding. just like are 100% capable of getting pregnant an hour after giving birth.
it may sound crazy and unrealistic, but it's just the way women work.
my bff had her daughter almost 5 months ago, and she is 4 months pregnant. ONLY breastfeeds.
I think it could be different for every woman. I breastfed my first for 3 years and didn't get pregnant. we used NO birth control or condoms. I got pregnant about a month or 2 AFTER I stopped nursing. it made my period irregular or nonexistent. after my son it took me about 10 year to get regular again lol. only because I got the depo and breastfed my son.
No you'll get pregnant so quick after you have baby that's our most fertile time. Already happened to two of my friends
Lol idk why she'd tell you that..... you can DEF still get prego while breastfeeding.
Yeeeeeeah you can definitely get pregnant while breastfeeding. While it can stop your cycles it is in no way a reliable form of birth control.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
