As soon as you’re no longer pregnant, you’re able to get pregnant again—even if you’re nursing. Many people think that nursing women can’t get pregnant because they don’t have periods, but that’s not always true. Before you have sex, it’s important that you talk with your doctor about the best birth control option. If you are breastfeeding, he or she will likely recommend something that doesn’t affect your milk supply.

The options can include:

If you are 100% sure that your family is the right size and you don’t want to have another baby, you may consider permanent birth control options.
