My doctor asked me about the method of planning my next babies & i was absolutely with NO answer.... Any experiences that can help me geting some info..?? Vidhya U must have had the latest experience....How does it work?? Is it soon after delivery that we have to take measures or after 6 week visit? anupama replied. Dear Niki,
Actually, I have heard copper T is a fairly reliable method and is safe if it is inserted by a qualified gynae.
It can be removed after 3 years or earlier if you want to conceive after 2 yrs.
I too wanted a 2nd kid after 2 years, but my dh was reluctant. It took me 2 yrs. to convince him. He still feels that one would have been o.k. I am sure when he sees the baby, he will forget all his doubts!
bye for now.

Anupama Anupama replied. Hi! all,
Actually, to be honest, in the initial 4-5 months after delivery,
you have so little time and absolutely no interest in anything other than
going off to sleep and night time feeds etc. My dh had asked the doc about f.planning etc.
and the doctor had suggested putting a copper t after 3 months after delivery.
But, somehow, we never got around to it.
We started making love only after 6 months or so and that too very carefully,
i.e. only in the safe periods ( from 5th day of periods to 9th day).
It does cause some friction,because males sometimes dont understand why we are so reluctant to have s.
But, later on after a year or so, you are quite able to have active s.
But, do be careful. You dont want to end up being pregnant again so soon.
The difference between my elder son and this one is about 4yrs. 9 months.
We practised safe sex and crossed our fingers.
You have to discuss this with your dh and then take a decision.
bye. All the best to all of you.
Anupama Priya replied. Niki,

Thanks for posting. I was talking to my husband regarding this.. but do not know what exactly we should do and how to plan.

I think Vidhya, Anupama could give the ans for this question.
How is ur health now? I did the ultrasound today and the baby weighs 5 pounds 8 aunces. It is actually under weight as per california starndard.
Then I had NST whcih went through fine.
My doctor says now I will not have to go for early delivery because of the baby weight.
Water contents are more and hence my stomach looks big, yes Niki, you had told me this earlier.
Now I am at home and relaxing. My mother will be here next week. I am just waiting for her.
Chalo fir, take care.
Priya
