At my last OB appointment, the topic of birth control after baby was brought up. I was pleasantly surprised that my doctor did so, since I'd been planning to myself, despite feeling a little silly. I'm only just barely into the 3rd trimester, I've got time, right? Well, having enough time to make a decision is a good thing.
She gave me some information, and I've pretty much made up my mind about what I want- an IUD. Being the crazy person that I am, I also want my husband to be on board with it. On this particular topic, however, my husband is pretty darn nutty himself.
Once upon a time, in a long-distant college health class, he heard that some people feel that hormonal birth control may increase the incidence of certain cancers. Something about delaying menopause. Whatever. He's now all paranoid about it, and wants to discuss it over with my doctor himself, so he feels better. I think he's being a little bit silly. That's his right, I suppose, and I'm certainly silly about my fair share of things. Whenever we talk about it we just go in circles, and all the information I give him is pretty much ignored because of some 'maybe' he heard 10 years ago.
*headdesk*
In other news, I'm starting school this fall! Yay! I'm excited and nervous, but hopefully all will be well. I'm actually looking forward to a return to the world of regular research papers. I may have to take a math class, which sucks, but I suppose I'll survive. Maybe. I haven't taken math since high school, which was nearly 4 years ago. It's always been my weak spot, too.
Things still aren't phenomenal--we can't get credit, we live in my BIL's basement, and our income sucks--but at least the disasters have ceased for the moment and we have a potential for improvement as long as we stick things out. Yay!
