Postpartum Birth Control: Navigating Your Options After Baby

In this episode of Birth, Baby! Podcast, hosts Ciarra Morgan and Samantha Kelly discuss postpartum birth control options with certified midwife Anne Leclercq. They explore various methods including hormonal, barrier, and natural family planning, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's body and the need for open communication between partners regarding birth control choices. The conversation highlights the complexities of postpartum fertility and the significance of being informed about different options available to new mothers.

Anne Caron Leclercq, a certified midwife in both Europe and the US, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a Natural Family Planning coach with the Marquette Method.

She is dedicated to guiding mothers through their breastfeeding journey. Helping them overcome challenges and ensuring they have a positive and successful experience with breastfeeding is incredibly fulfilling.
