When can I get an IUD?

I am expecting #4 in March. My question is how soon after we have our baby can I get an IUD? I only have insurance for about 2 months after and then we lose it. Can I get one that soon after. DH and I both turn 30 in the next 2 months and we are not ready to do anything forever, but our youngest 2 will be only 13 months apart. I am still nursing our 10 month old and currently 30 weeks pregnant. Nursing doesn't stop us from having babies. Our older 2 are only 11.5 months apart. We might want another in a few years.
Thanks.
