My understanding is that the only acceptable method of birth control is abstinence. Even masturbation is a no-no because the equipment is there for one thing and one thing only, babies. Why it feels so damn good is probably because god wants to tempt us with pleasure. Hell, Catholic men are probably not supposed to enjoy the orgasm. I imagine women are supposed to say three hail mary's for each one they have as they aren't absolutely necessary for pregnancy.
Abstinence before marriage.
Within a marriage the only allowed method of birth control is what used to be call the rhythm method which was counting days and predicting fertility. They have a new name now...Natural Family Planning.
Old joke - Why to they call it practicing the rhythm method? Because you never perfect it.

I know a Catholic couple that practices the rhythm method.
They have 11 kids.

Rhythm ... where the hell do you find a decent drummer at 2:00 am at very short notice?

This is a new one on me. I went through 12½ years of Catholic schools and was never taught that the Church opposed Cesarean sections.

Wow. Another absurd dictate from the Vatican.
Good thing is, most Catholics are like "yeah, whatever" to most of this stuff. And this particular item is most likely ignored by 98% of Catholics.
