Does taking your prenatal pills after birth increase...?

Question

the chances of getting pregnant again? My OB never told me to keep taking them, she told me to keep taking my iron, but all my friends who have had kids and many moms on here have told me to keep taking my prenatal pills as they will help my body readjust. But will this increase my chances of getting pregnant again? My doctor won't discuss bc with me until my 6 week postpartum visit (but I am going to try and broach the subject on Wed) and we can't use condoms so we're basically just using the pull out method right now, which I know is not a great way to avoid it. I've been told women can be MORE fertile postpartum but do the prenatal pills increase that?

Answer 1

Pre- natal vitamins have nothing to do with being able to get pregnant again. They are just multivitamins. You should not be having s*x before your first post partum visit to your doctor and you should definitely NOT be having s*x without BC because you are actually incredibly fertile right now just by virtue of having given birth.
