Birth Control Options After Pregnancy
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.
