Sex may be the last thing on your mind right after having your baby. However, once you begin having sex after pregnancy, using birth control will help prevent an unplanned pregnancy. The Mayo Clinic warns that sex following pregnancy requires the use of birth control, unless you want to become pregnant right away. Although breastfeeding may delay the return of your fertility for a few months, this method of preventing conception may not be effective for some women, especially beyond six months after delivery. If you just had a baby and want to wait awhile before having another, consider your birth control options.
