Birth Control: What No One Tells You
Sis, let’s talk about it
because this is one of those topics where every mom has a different story.
For me, when I had the conversation with my doctor, we went through the options: pills, IUD, shots, all of it. And honestly? I said no. I didn’t take birth control because deep down, I was scared of the after-effects. I didn’t want anything that would throw off my hormones, hurt my milk supply while breastfeeding, or just make me feel like a different person in my daily life.
And that’s the part nobody really talks about — the fear. Not every woman wants to be on birth control, and that’s valid. We hear stories from other women who deal with weight gain, mood swings, acne, or worse, and it makes you think, “Do I really want to risk all that?”
But on the flip side, I know moms who do take it, and they say it gives them peace of mind. For some, it works fine. For others, it’s a nightmare. That’s why the conversation is so important — because it’s not one-size-fits-all.
✨ Advice: Don’t let anyone pressure you into birth control if it doesn’t feel right. Have the conversation with your doctor, weigh your options, and make the choice that works for your body, your baby, and your peace of mind. Because at the end of the day, you’re the one living with it.
Deactivate the noise. Listen to yourself. Trust your body.
