I already knew what I wanted though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399631 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:04:05 +0000 sotomorrow 399631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was brought up a lot at my OBGYN visits, but only with the nurse practitioner and not my doc. She talked about it with me while I was pregnant and at my 6 week checkup too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399550 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:34:55 +0000 sorrycharlie 399550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup he made sure I knew all my options and answered any questions at my 6-wk. I don't know what we are going to do. I want one more baby, DH doesn't (though originally he wanted 4!!?) ...so at te very least we will be going the condom route. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399450 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:08:30 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 399450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399390 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:51:24 +0000 Bao 399390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB asked and decided on the mini pill, however it messed with my milk supply so I stopped..now we are just winging it, so to speak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399383 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:48:15 +0000 HLK208 399383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine definitely pushed it on me. But when I said I was done at two children while pregnant, he laughed and said "yeah, we'll see"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399348 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:37:40 +0000 loveisstrange 399348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB asked if I had thought about post-baby BC at my 24 week appointment. lol. I had already decided I wanted a Mirena. I got it inserted at 6 weeks pp. </p> <p>C was unplanned though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399339 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:34:27 +0000 MusicaV 399339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. I think it was the way she worded it that made me feel like she was pushing it as opposed to letting me know my options. I guess we'll see in a few hours. I've never considered BFing to be birth control (just a nice way to put off having a period), but maybe she thinks I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399330 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:32:36 +0000 DpeachLu 399330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They mentioned it and didnt push it when I said we werent going to use anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399275 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:09:06 +0000 Pink Champagne 399275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wasn't pushy but definitely made sure I was aware of my options. And yes, it is very common to have that conversation at the 6 week PP appt- a lot of women are misinformed that breast feedng = birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399140 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:33:45 +0000 mrsjazz 399140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife didn't push it, but she did bring up birth control at my 6 week postpartum appointment. The only birth control I will use is condoms, so I told her this and she left it at that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399118 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:28:51 +0000 Springtime 399118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No mine didn't push it on me, but gave me my options and let me choose what I want to do, we don't use BC though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399100 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:24:01 +0000 T-Mom 399100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OB asked and I said yup, I'm done please prescribe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399088 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:20:09 +0000 Mrs. Train 399088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since my first pregnancy landed me with three kids within 8 months of each other. My OB did my six week pp check then said "ok, you are cleared to have sex, with that being said I am kind of assuming you want birth control". I laughed and said "what you don't want me sobbing in your office again, yep BC please" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399030 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:04:54 +0000 Mrs Checkers 399030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She asked but didn't push. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399021 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:03:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 399021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn’t say she pushed, but my OB brought it up at near to the end of pregnancy so that we could have a plan in place for my 6 week pp visit. She stressed that bf is not actually reliable birth control and said she recommends all women get back on birth control soon after birth to protect themselves (unless you are open to possibly getting pregnant very soon after giving birth). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399018 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:02:34 +0000 Bluebonnet 399018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor brought it up while I was pregnant (early thrid trimester?), and again at my post partum appointment. She didn't push anything, but wanted to make sure I knew my options. </p> <p>I had NO desire to have "Irish twins" so the advice was very appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399016 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:02:00 +0000 Weagle 399016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She offered all of the options, but didn't push it. She was pretty happy when I said we probably wouldn't use anything. She gave me a prescription for the mini-pill just in case we wanted to use it down the road, but I have no clue where it is now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399012 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:00:48 +0000 Mrsbells 399012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SHe didnt push it on me but she definitely mentioned that I can get pregnant right away, she aske me what I wanted and i said I wasnt looking into anything just yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-399002 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:59:12 +0000 mrsmenow 399002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We talked about it at my 6 week check with my DDs.</p> <p>This time around we actually talked about it already because my hospital only allows a woman to get her tubes tied following a c section if it was planned before delivery. Not that I am having a c section or getting my tubes tied, but DH and I are talking premanent BC options and we wanted to have our bases covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398991 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:56:06 +0000 mediagirl 398991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He offered, I declined. He said to call at any time if I wanted to get on something, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398988 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:55:41 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 398988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked, because I am totally terrified of having babies super close in age...IUD for me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398983 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:54:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 398983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read there are a lot of unplanned pregnancies in new mothers-- like people who just thought they couldn't get pregnant again that fast-- so I'm not surprised they would make a point to really mention it. For people who had more complicated births or c-sections, I wouldn't be surprised if they push it a little harder.<br /> Can't speak from my own experience, though. My last MW appointment consisted of her telling me to have a lot of sex :) (TTC) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398973 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:52:41 +0000 luckypenny 398973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She either said condoms or BC because he recommends I wait at least a year before getting pregnant again. I GLADLY opted for BC. After gaining 70lbs with DD this body needs a break lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398970 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:52:14 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 398970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They weren't pushy, but they did bring it up at our 26 week appointment -- at that time, it was the last thing on my mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398962 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:50:21 +0000 Maysprout 398962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She asked but didn't push it. I also lied and told he we use condoms though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398955 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:48:58 +0000 lovehoneybee 398955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine actually talked about it before DS was even born.</p> <p>ETA: She didn't push it, she just wanted to know if I was planning on going on birth control or had given it any thought yet, and wanted to answer any questions I had about any method, which I appreciated since we're not sure if we want a second baby, but are 100% sure we don't want an Oopsie baby. I ended up getting an IUD placed yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398951 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:48:08 +0000 autumnlove 398951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He didn't push it but told me to be very careful...since I already had my period by my 6 week postpartum appointment. I asked for a mini pill prescription and took it for a few months, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-ob-push-birth-control-on-you-post-partum#post-398950 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:47:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 398950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mw didn't but she wanted me to know my options. Since I wasn't comfortable with the pill or IUD while breastfeeding, I decided to just use condoms. It is what it is. </p>
