To actually consider I could be pregnant 8 weeks after having baby?

[b0bb1n]

Baby born April 2nd. 22nd May got what seemed to be first period, but it didn't last as long as normal (I read it's normal for them to change pp though).

About a week (give or take) beforehand, dtd twice and he pulled out, and once dtd no pulling out. The day after the suspected period had finished (26th May) also dtd no pulling out (sorry for details).

Tuesday night I felt sick when I woke up, like I was going to be sick (I sleep evenings so night is my morning). This morning (now) I feel nausea again.

I am probably just overly paranoid because with my first pregnancy nausea was the first symptom and it started pretty much immediately after conception. Also I noticed a 'difference' in the smell of dh's tobacco (which was just increased sense of smell) and lately I can smell his tobacco when it's in the pouch a couple of feet away.

If it wasn't for the suspected period I would feel a lot more sure I was pregnant. I feel too sick to proof read this I hope it makes sense!

My sister has 5 children three of them born in the same year (work that out - they are not triplets) for 47 days every year they are all the same age - we are in the period now actually they are all 11.

I can’t believe all the negative comments on a thread where the OP hopes she is pregnant 8 weeks after her first baby and is not talking about failed contraception. She’s excited at the idea, it’s a happy thread! Congratulations, OP!

It’s also not about her DH’s smoking, she mentioned it in passing. She wishes he would stop, but this isn’t the time to harp on about it IMO.

I don't know, maybe it's your system adjusting itself after your baby. Your body has been through a huge change both physically and Hormonally.

@Liketoshop take it you've 1. Not read the thread. 2. Not read any actual factual medical information on the subject.

Congratulations OP.

Just worked out what POAS means!

Why do some health care professionals still believe you can't conceive while exclusively breastfeeding? There is13 months between my sister and myself and she was exclusively BF.

Yes you could definitely be pregnant, I had a baby boy 25/05/2018 at 34 weeks then I had a baby girl on 27/03/2019 at 33+6 weeks. So yes very likely.

Good luck on the next test OP, hope you get the result you want. I have to admit I am in ore of you dtd so soon after giving birth, I didn't want my DH anywhere near me for at least 6 months after having both of mine 😂

Could have been implantation bleeding. I assume your planning to have a not her baby ASAP or you would have some common sense and be using some kind of prevention. Otherwise your stupid for thinking it won't happen to me twice. News flash if your not using protection it could easily happen.

Good god woman! Why would you not use contraception?

Good god mummyoftw0 read the fucking thread!

Oh for goodness sake, some people are so judgemental. OP is happily married and excited at the prospect of being pregnant again. Why isn't she allowed to be happy about this? It isn't hurting anyone. Just because you wouldn't have wanted a second so soon doesn't mean everyone else has to feel the same way. I don't like chocolate ice cream but I don't go around wagging my finger disapprovingly at people who eat it. It's really pathetic to be so invested in a strangers life choice that isn't hurting anyone and has no impact on you.

Congrats OP!!

@proudaunt I can’t for the life of me work it out! My mind literally boggles! Please tell.

I'm more pearl clutching at the poster who has had daily sex from 3 days postpartum. Apart from the fact I felt like crap, I was still flooding really badly u too at least 2 weeks. There was a story in Take a Break when I was a lass about a man who 'murdered' his wife by having sex with her at 5 days pp. It caused an air bubble in her blood stream and she died.

All the best OP!

This thread is bat shit 😂
Also can posters stop referring to babies born close together as “Irish twins”
They’re babies born close together nothing Irish or twin about them

Best if luck op

I never had a period while I was breastfeeding. The first one I BF for 12 months the second one 23 months. Never had a period.

My body must put all its energy into producing milk because I had loads of milk and the last thing I was thinking about was sex let alone more babies.

Come back and let us know please!! X

@JustOneShadeOfGrey
Presumably her sister had twins and a singleton within the same year?

@YouWhoNeverArrived you what?! You'd had major surgery. You didn't even give your incision time to heal.

@validusernameok We just used a position that didn't put any pressure on my tummy. It was fine. Bear in mind, official NHS and medical advice is that you can have sex as soon as you feel able to after giving birth.

There are some very odd, prudish attitudes towards postnatal sex being expressed on this thread.

@YouWhoNeverArrived i also had sex I think about 4 days after a c section with a general anaesthetic
I was extremely emotional and I wanted to be as close as possible to my husband
In fact I remember after I had my son I literally went to sleep on his face. We were really really close after the birth of our son and it was a very special time in our relationship with a lot of love and kindness. I'm 35 weeks pregnant now and we are still having sex and I will continue to have respectful and gentle sex with him at the right time after this c section too. I don't know why people think it's so bad to have sex after you've had a baby and honestly I think it helps with relationships and mental health to be close. I also think that if it hurts at any point of course you should stop but isn't it a sign that there is good communication if you can stay close and have sex soon after the baby is here?

Infection and embolisms are a potential problem.

Exciting! Are you going to do another test today?

Fingers crossed you get the result you want OP!

My two are 12mths apart and for the most part are absolutely delightful together. As someone who’s siblings were 7 and 4 years older I would’ve loved a sibling closer in age so while DH and I weren’t “planning” it, it has worked out quite well.

@roundligament surely all the bleeding makes sex a little difficult/gross
