what do they cost and who has had problems with expultion?

and when should I get it inserted, I am almost 35 weeks prego, would you all recommend me getting it inserted just after delivery? or should I wait? I plan to breastfeed so thats why I have pretty much settled on IUD.

THanks

Mine was covered by insurance, so it was a $10 copay. No problems since then, and expulsion is pretty rare anyway.

You'd want to ask your doctor how soon it should be inserted. I've heard that the chance for expulsion is a little higher just after giving birth, but your doctor will have an idea of when exactly he'd like you to get it.
