Contraception after second baby

2 replies

I'm almost due my second and wondering what to do. The pill has always made me feel awful and I'm not sure we can use condoms forever. Between DCs 1 and 2 we either used withdrawal method or just had unprotected sex (obv!), but after this one we need to be more careful. I'm dreading it - I love having the carefree sex of pregnancy. Should I try the pill again, or what do you think? Anyone with experience of troubleshooting this?

Hormonal contraception is a nightmare for me and I'd live in fear with just condoms. So, I had a copper coil fitted as soon as was possible after DC2 was born (might have been 6 weeks, or 9 or 12, can't remember) had it replaced after it's 5 years were up and I've been nothing but happy with it. Excellent things.
