Sex & anti-conception

In the middle of my emotional and temporarily confused state of mind, my midwife called me. She was asking if everything was all right. I didn’t really feel like telling her that no I just felt like crap, so I settled for a simple “yes”. In fact every question she fired off after that was also answered with a “yes” or “no” and in one case a “maybe”. Towards the end of the conversation she started on the topic of anti-conception. She made a point of breast-feeding not being an optimal solution. I said I knew. But she wasn’t going to leave it at that, and proceeded to go through every anti-conception there was, the pros and cons. Towards the end she asked me if there was any I had thought of using. “Is this for a survey you’re running?” I blurted out. I certainly felt like I was taking part of a quiz show.

For now I haven’t given anti-conception a second thought. I haven’t even thought of sex for that matter either, and that’s quite a feat given that sex is a rather important part of my life. But it all feels somewhat premature with only a week after the birth of Sebastian.  I later told Reinout about our conversation.
“Ok, great” he said. “We can now start working on a second one. “
I’m not entirely convinced of that idea.

On a different note my mood picked up later in the evening. I started my first gentle exercises. 20×3 stomach crunches, the slow and methodical ones, 5 push ups (I used to be able to make 20), and some gentle yoga postures. It felt great to finally work and stretch my body.
