Which birth control methods prevent fertilization/hostile environments to a fetus?

Hi all: I'm not very experienced with this whole birth control thing as my husband was my first and we got pregnant during our honeymoon! I need help figuring this birth control thing out for after surgery.<br> I have ethical issues with *any birth control method that allows possible fertilization*. I'm so glad I can ask this in private because it is embarassing for me to bring up because people can get rude about this, in my experience, but I have a right to my beliefs. <br> I asked my OB, but he was really rude about it and said "Oh, are you Catholic?" and then, before I could answer, yanked a (presumably catholic) nurse in his staff into his office and told her I was against most birth control. Then she launched into this tirade about how the "church wasn't going to pay for her babies". And then he told me, "well, now you've got a catholic's opinion and a jewish person's opinion (meaning his), so take this prescription and get over it.<br> I'm not catholic and kind of soft spoken, so I just got kind of red and didn't say anything else. I know, I know, I'm switching OB's. But right now I need to know what birth control I can feel comfortable using.<br> Please do not respond if you are going to attack my beliefs. I'm not trying to start a debate here, I'm trying to get information from other Christian married women about how be the best mother I can be. <br> Thanks in advance and Peace!
