After my delivery, I'm thinking about birth control options. My sister mentioned something called a "loop" for preventing pregnancy. What exactly is it and how does it work?

It is a good option, but some women get heavy periods or cramps initially. Definitely consult your doctor to ensure it fits you well.

It is basically an IUD like Copper-T that doctor inserts inside the uterus. Honestly, I should have got it done, then I wouldn't be awake with a crying baby right now!

It's a small device placed inside by a doctor. Since I stayed active with yoga, my doctor assured me it doesn't shift or cause issues during regular exercise.

The loop refers to an intrauterine device (IUD) like Copper-T. My doctor told me it is a safe, reversible method that prevents pregnancy for up to 5 to 10 years.

I had the Copper-T loop for 3 years before planning my toddler. It is very safe and comfortable, you don't even feel it after insertion.
