Using two methods of birth control is a smart idea. I don't know why
that isn't suggested more often to teenagers and others who really
don't want to risk a pregnancy. I definitely feel that, personally, I
wouldn't trust any one barrier method to work 100% on its own. I've
also heard that cervical caps become much less effective after a woman
has been pregnant (I guess the cervix changes shape).
Congratulations on the baby!

They also need to be refitted after a substantial change in body weight.

I should say, I liked the cap for a while, and then it developed a smell,
and I was afraid it had been colonized by some bacteria or yeast or
something. I tried bleach solution and then chlorophyll on the advice of
the center I got the cap from, but it kept coming back. Anyway, I don't
think I'd use one again.
