I'm too old to have another baby imho, I'm 38. My mom had me at 40, so while technically I could probably do it, this pregnancy was really hard on me and the recovery has been pretty tough too. Also I think while its doable to have 3 kids its just that much harder, car wise, finding a restaurant table, going on vacation, riding rides at a theme park, everything is designed for sets of two. So I was planning on a tubal if I needed a c section, but since I didn't, dh will get a vasectomy. Someone will have to smack me if I let him put it off and I get pregnant again! Eta we didn't use anything before because we have been trying to have two kids...before that I was on the pill for frighteningly 18 years, I'm not sure I'd want to do that again.
We went 5 years between my dd and this baby just using condoms and natural family planning (and having opposite schedules and sleeping in separate rooms). I figure that will be fine again. I was on the pill for 11 years and had no problems with it, I went off it when we decided to start trying back in 2008, I don't really want to start taking it again though at this point and for some reason an IUD kind of freaks me out. I am pretty sure this was our last baby (I am 35, our house is small, this pregnancy was tough, etc) but if I did get pregnant it wouldn't be the worst thing. Eventually we will see about a vasectomy for my h but not quite yet...
I will go on the mini pill till I am done BF. I am pretty nervous because I suck I taking the pill and you have to take it at the same time everyday!! After that I will probably get an IUD.
I was going to get the IUD, but H upped the schedule for his snip. Now I don't know what I'll do. I'm horrible at taking pills with the littles and lack of sleep.
I was on the pill and horrible at taking it. DH also pulled out. Thus, we have the dictator. I'll be asking my OB about paraguard.
I love that you call him the dictator
I was on the pill for years, got pregnant and miscarried and then got pregnant with Leo. I would like to avoid the pill and probably stick with condoms since we would like another (no time soon- this womb is closed for now!)
I hated hormonal birth control. Since we needed IVF for the twins we used reliance on our infertility afterwards. A was a surprise. My OB took out my tubes during my csection so now we're using that.
Ugh I hadn't even thought about this until reading this thread since sex is SO far from my mind right now. Prior to conceiving LO I was on the pill for 15 years. I didn't have any negative side effects and am good at taking it on time; however it did take a while for my body to regulate after going off of it, so I would like to avoid it in the future. I plan on doing some research and talking to my doctor at my 6 week appointment.

We were using the calendar method/condoms (but rarely...mostly pull out) and that's how we got here! I would really prefer not to have another baby in the next 2-3 years, so probably going to get the paragaurd iud. I don't like any hormonal bc, so if I end up not getting it tomorrow at my appointment then DH is stuck wearing condoms!

Planning to get the Mirena. I also feel that the mini pill caused my supply to drop, so I'm a little hesitant, but I'd rather that than a surprise pregnancy. Plus, I have endometriosis so really would prefer a hormonal method.
I haven't taken hormonal birth control in years. When we decided to try for DD we used NFP. I was amenorrheic while BF her (one year) and used provera to jumpstart my cycles. We will use NFP to prevent and try again when we are ready.
I was on the pill before due to ovarian cysts. I am going to start the mini pill on Thursday and we will also be using condoms until I am done providing breast milk.
