Iud After C Section

And some cramping the rest of the day.

Iud after c section. Previously you had to wait about six weeks after delivery to have an iud inserted. I ve read that it s easier to insert the iud when the cervix is partially open such as when you are starting your period. Three intrauterine devices iuds are available in the united states.

I had the mirena inserted at 6 weeks after my c section. Compared with other contraceptive methods early post partum iud insertion has several advantages. However little data are available regarding iuds specifically placed at cesarean delivery.

The nurse advised me in advance to take some tylenol beforehand. However given the risk of perforation or expulsion the device is not recommended for women with a hyperinvoluted small uterus. Post placental intrauterine device iud insertion is a safe convenient and effective option for postpartum contraception.

Had 2 c sections and got a paragard inserted about 2 or so years later. An iud can be inserted right after you give birth whether you ve delivered vaginally or by c section. Immediate postplacental iud insertion within 10 minutes of placental delivery is an alternative to interval insertion insertion 6 or more weeks postpartum.

Post placental refers to insertion within 10 15 minutes of placental delivery after vaginal or cesarean delivery. The only thing i heard was that after a c section you should wait 12 weeks instead of the regular 6 bc the lining of the endometrium can be quite thin after 6w and may be a higher risk for migration rupture. Find someone else to put it in for you.

The first time i had an iud put in 6 years ago it did hurt so i took the nurse s advice and felt no pain this time. I actually didn t think it hurt at all just uncomfortable for about 3 seconds. 9 11 the purpose of this study was to compare iud use at 6 months.
