I got pregnant unplanned but I'm taking full responsibility. But this can not happen again! Besides using condoms I want a back up method of birth control. But I also want to breast feed. I want to get on birth control right away. As soon as I have the baby. Because the women in my family are very fertile. And I heard breastfeeding can be birth control but I don't want to risk it.
