Question


Hey there

Hope you are all well.

I have a question.....

Have any of you lovely ladies used breast feeding as a form of contraception after your little one was born? I am pregnant and I am so into breastfeeding my beanie when he/she arrives (I am praying I will manage). I have also been thinking of contraception once beanie has arrived and I have read that breast feeding can be used as a form of contraception. Has anyone done/been doing this or would like to?

I am not keen on taking the pill again as I felt awful on it (headaches, moody, tired, put weight on). We dont' really want to use condoms and I want to have more children so the coil is not really an option. I have also heard that the patch and injections can cause rapid weight gain and I am already overweight so that doesn't appeal to me.....

Does anyone have any adivce for me?

Thanking you sooo much.

xxxxx
Christine

I use this method. It's 98% effective but only if you follow the guidelines. Kaya will soon be 6 months so I'm going to have to back to condoms. Not much of a hardship when you're only having sex once or twice a month tho lol
