Question
Is it a smart idea to use only a condom as birth control after having a baby?
Answer
I do not think using a condom alone is a very good way to prevent pregnancy. You can read all about different methods here: http://www.pamf.org/teen/sex/birthcontrol/
A better idea would be to use condoms and a hormonal method - to protect you from pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. You can go to your local Planned pregnancy to get any method.
