[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd wait a year.  Get an IUD put it and just focus on what you have right now.  [/quote]

OP here. After baby #2, I decided to get an IUD at about 7 months postpartum, because I don't want to take birth control pills & I'd heard great things about the "non-hormonal" copper IUD.

Within 5 hours I was in horrible pain! It was sharp, intense pain, literally worse than contractions in labor!!! It was insane. Like, way worse than any of my (unmedicated) deliveries. So, I got it removed about 24 hours after insertion. I was very surprised because I hadn't read of much of a likelihood for that type of experience.
The technician who removed it said, "Oh yeah, it's more common when you're breastfeeding, because your uterus contracts when you breastfeed." Other moms I know got them while BFing and said that's ridiculous.

Needless to say, never getting an IUD again! I would rather (literally!) give birth!!

This is also why I kind of want to make a sort of final decision on when to stop having kids, because we'll schedule that snip snip appointment for DH!! (Vasectomy lol)[/quote]
