Avoiding Getting Pregnant After Giving Birth
from:There is no doubt that having a baby is one of life’s greatest joys. Many women feel this experience was the most important and miraculous event that occurs in their lives. However, it is rare for a new mom to excited about the prospect of getting pregnant after giving birth. The body needs time to heal and the parents obviously want some time to get to know the current addition to the family. Sex immediately following delivery isn’t usually high on mom’s priority list, but it will happen and it is important to be prepared.
If you were to do a poll of women who have children close in age, a good percentage of them would say that the younger child was a pleasant surprise. In other words many unplanned pregnancies occur shortly after the arrival of the first baby. Getting pregnant after giving birth happens all the time. If you and your partner feel ready to be parents again, great, if not be sure to discuss contraceptive options before those amorous feelings strike again.
After giving birth, most women’s periods begin as soon as five to six weeks after delivery. At this point getting pregnant after giving birth is completely possible. A new mom who has decided to breastfeed will probably have longer before her cycle begins again. Some breastfeeding mothers don’t have a period until after the baby is weaned. Each woman’s body is different though, so taking precautions after delivery is important if a new pregnancy isn’t desirable at this time.
It is highly unlikely to become pregnant in the three weeks following the birth of a child. After this point things get to be iffy. Believing that because a period hasn’t occurred yet makes getting pregnant after giving birth more likely. You can always hit those ovulation days without realizing it until another little one is on the way. Since most doctors recommend waiting at least six weeks after a vaginal delivery and sometimes more after a C-section, contraception shouldn’t be a problem until after the six week checkup. Just be sure to give your chosen method enough time in your system. Before that, a backup alternative may be a wise decision.
As far as what type of birth control depends on the woman and her decision to breastfeed or not. Those who do breastfeed will probably want to choose a non hormonal form of birth control. Anyone else will have more freedom in their method to avoid getting pregnant after giving birth. Especially after the new arrival, many couples chose to wait before giving parenthood another go.
