When can I start birth control again?

Question

i am 23 weeks pregnant and dont want another baby until this one is at least 2 or 3, i know that having a baby increases your risks of getting pregnant again.

Answer 1

It depends on the type of birth control and whether or not you are breastfeeding. Talk with your OB. Typically they will say wait until your first period and start back. Relax and just enjoy being pregnant for now, it will all be over too soon.

Answer 2

You need to talk to your OB everyone is different. If you dont have one get one it's the best thing you can do for you and your child.

Answer 3

you can go on mini pill pretty much immediately after your child is born however if you are breastfeeding the chemicals you are putting into your body will also go into your baby. our OB recommended using condoms until finished breastfeeding.

Answer 4

I was allowed to go back on birth control after I stopped bleeding and had my first 'period'. It was about 2 months after I gave birth.
