Contraceptive advice
You can contact us for advice on contraception. When your cycle starts again after giving birth differs per woman. Breastfeeding can slow this down, but it doesn’t protect against another pregnancy. The first ovulation comes before your first period, so you are fertile even before your period.
Here you will find more information about the various options.
Have an IUD placed by your own midwife
