Contraception after section

This is definitely an option. I was offered it during my section but got them to cut my tubes instead.
I didn’t have the coil but did have the implant inserted in the hospital
Yes I had it fitted during my section few weeks ago but they did say my Gp has to check it isn’t dislodged during my 6-8 weeks review. It’s a possibility as the uterus shrinks back
I’ve had 2 mirena coils for a total of 8 years before having it removed to conceive. Wanted another after babba but derby don’t do it during c sections. I’m now on the pill as although I loved the mirena the insertion (both times) was the most painful experience of my life! Worst than my c section recovery by far even though it’s quick! Supposed to be far less painful after having a baby but only if your cervix has dilated (so no way of knowing with an elective c section if mine had or not) So I wimped out and went on the pill Would genuinely have another c section tomorrow but couldn’t face another could insertion (even though it’s by far the best contraception I’ve ever been on)
So if you can get it done during your section definitely go for it - Derby told me they don’t due to risk of infection and expulsion as uterus contracts back to normal 🙄 I would have taken the risk if they’d let me Not enjoying being back on the pill - hormones and skin issues like a 15 year old again 😂
Had it fitted AT section. Had it removed 6 months later due to the bleeding I encountered.
