is it safe to start birth control right after having a baby or do you have to wait? i want to start right after if i can…

@shaeslove, ohh okay i see

@lavender13, yeah because they couldn’t find the string

@scx327 My doctor and I discussed the risks. It's only a 5% higher chance of falling out. And worse comes to worst my doc has to put a new one in at 6 weeks. It's easier for me this way because I have RA and any uterine examine puts me in pain because of my bad hips.

@shaeslove, oh wow i can't believe they leave it in there with the baby

@lavender13, I have an iud now... lol and obviously it didn’t work. And I can’t have it removed until the baby comes out

@shaeslove, definitely wont. i prefer pills

@laurenray93, I think you should wait on that, I was going to do that after my baby was born but my doctor said that since my uterus isn't back to normal size, it's easier to fall out

@laurenray93, oh okay cool i hope i get the same options

Whatever you do don’t get an iud

@lavender13 nope my doc gave me the option of whatever birth control I wanted. Then at my last appointment she asked what I chose and I told her. She said okay you want it same day or at your 6 week. I said same day for sure.

@laurenray93, oh wow i didn't know they did it that fast. i just want the old school pills on the wheel thing

My doc is putting in my mirena at the same time as my c section.

Not sure but I will be asking asap

Yes. Some hospital will give it to u before they discharge you
