To be pregnant 6 weeks after birth?

[alfie22]

I'm seriously freaking out right now.

I've had pregnancy symptoms for the past few days and have just spectacularly thrown up all over the bathroom. Im rarely sick, only when I was pregnant so now I am seriously concerned. I have had aversions to certain foods and also cravings.

Surely it's not possible? I haven't had a period since giving birth, just the regular post partum bleeding that stopped around 3 weeks ago.

Could I even take a test this soon? So many things are going through my mind right now i can't think straight.

If you've had unprotected sex then yes, you could be pregnant.

Yes you could be, its not unheard of.

If you've had unprotected sex then yes, I guess it's possible

Do a test and then you will know

I taught siblings who were born 11 months apart. It’s possible.

@Blueuggboots @MyOpinionIsValid Jesus Christ

We used the withdrawal method the two times we have had sex, obviously this is very risky i know but didn't think there had been any accidents except the last time when I wasn't 100%..

I'm actually terrified to do a test. It's so hard to tell because I've no idea when/if my period will arrive.

Take a pregnancy test, then decide what you want to do. Keep it to yourself and don't let it happen ever again, until you're ready to have another baby.

I've told my DP there could be a possibility. He nearly hit the ceiling.

I really hope I'm not pregnant. I don't think I could bring myself to have a termination but then again it isn't the right time, not so soon after having DS.

One step at a time - take the test and see what that says.

Yes, as others have said if you’ve had unprotected sex it’s certainly a possibility x

Do a test ASAP there’s no point in hiding from it. You’ll either be able to relax or at least know what you’re dealing with. And at risk of sounding like your mum, if it’s negative get some proper contraception sorted

@MrsMiggins37 I started the pill on Monday at my 6 week check up I know I should've got something sorted sooner but I honestly didn't think I'd even think about having sex so soon after birth!

I'll do a test. Like you said there's no point hiding from it. xx

Can only do a test. Also they midwife and your hv shouldve told you that the 6 weeks post birth is the most fertile you'll probably ever be in your life 😳

It's why most women who dont want sex post birth, dont want sex for a long while 😂

How didn't you know??

@WhiteRedRose I did know but naively thought DP pulling out would mean there was little to no chance of it happening..

Not sure why he hit the roof. He has a child. He is aware of the actions that led to DC1.

@Yeahsurewhatever I know. I honestly think he doesn't think it's possible to get pregnant so soon after birth

6 weeks post partum, your hormones will still be settling down so maybe these symptoms are just because your body is still unsettled from the birth.

@almostn9ne friggin hell I hope so. But I just "feel" pregnant 😭

If he didn't think it was possible to get pregnant so soon after the birth why did he bother pulling out at all?

Take a test OP, although it may be too soon to tell, in which case if you continue feeling unwell see your doctor and retest in a week or so.

Good luck.

@TrixieFranklin I knew it was possible so of course I told him to

There’s every chance you could be pregnant as you have been having unprotected sex at a very fertile time.

He has NO right to be ‘almost hitting the roof’ he’s a grown man, well old enough to buy condoms and use them if he doesn’t want a second baby right now.

You’re both old enough to know it’s a stupid risk to take.

It's not so bad, I have two 12 months apart you're super fertile post partum. Look at it this way, you get it all over and done with at once.

Hope you get the test result you want.

@MyOpinionIsValid ah that must be a handful! I would prefer a negative result but it wouldn't be the absolute end of the world if it was positive..

Jesus I feel so nauseous.

Sounds like you're probably pregnant. Bizarrely you're actually more likely to conceive just after having a baby! Especially if you're not breastfeeding.

Withdrawal method is very risky. It's best to only use it if you wouldn't mind having another baby!
