I plan to go on birth-control immediately after I have my daughter (esp. since they say it's really easy to get pregnant within a year of having your first, so I wont take any chances). What birth control methods are safe? What pills? What about depo-provera, or the shot? Or the patch? I plan to discuss this with my OB at my next appointment but I just want some ideas now. Any suggestions/knowledge?

Condoms!I would suggest that you ask about progesterone based birth control, it can be used safely but some doctors won't prescribe it.

Definitely condoms!I wouldn't recommend the patch whether you're breastfeeding or not- it's not safe.Good luck- your Dr. is absolutely the person to get the best advice from.
