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.

Not sure you understand how sex causes babies...

Surely 4 weeks pregnant would be too soon to get morning sickness/cravings etc? Most people wouldn't be testing that early as you wouldn't know your period was late yet

@happyhillock my post was not referring to you, you explained perfectly fine that you needed to wait longer which is absolutely your choice. It was aimed at the poster who seemed to think that OP was not capable of making her own mind up and showed no self control or that her DH was pressurising her,

Comments about the nails 'no ridiculous nails/sex CHECK!' and the one about another man's penis make me cringe for these posters. What is wrong with people?!

Those tests are negative and those nails are mad!

I was vomiting 1 week post conception. Well before a missed period. It was twins 😁

I am a well practised line reader and even I say there is no positive line on those tests. I can usually spot a faint positive a mile off.

You sound really panicked and I don't blame you but please calm down! Your body does all sorts of weird things and rushes of hormones after birth so the nausea could be anything. I feel horrendously sick around ovulation. Also your cycle/period symptoms can change after birth so don't compare it to anything pre birth.

Leave it a few days and test again but take it easy

What? I was checking off all the things on the 'how a woman should behave' list like a good girl?

a family member got pregnant within the week of having a baby,there was 8 months bnetween them in the end as no 2 came early,she then got pregnant with no 3 within a month so had 3 kids with 3 separate pregnancys in 17/18 months,they were only 5lb odd each though

personally i dont know how people do it,your foof and insides still must be open and still bleeding,mine was for 6 weeks and 8 weeks and numerous stiches inside and out

Oh OP, I hope you get the result that you want. I have 11 months between my two eldest dc. It's been (mostly) lovely

Looks negative, have you any more tests ?

Friends fertility consultant told her if she wanted another child to have sex asap after birth as your super fertile.

I hope you get the result you want op

I do have another test but going to wait until I take it. Unsure how long though.

I've had the same food aversions and cravings I had with ds

No fan of the nails- But re the post natal sex? Baby number one was a year, Numbers two and three we were definitely back in the saddle (at my initiation) within two weeks.

I'm not even sure why people are commenting on the nails... get a fecking life.

OP I can't see a second line. I distinctly remember feeling pregnant just before my 6 week check up. Must have been the hormones settling.

If people have to magnify a picture that much to see a second line then it's negative.

I have done loads of tests and a faint line is noticeable without zooming right in.

Threads like these are depressing. Been trying for months to get pg and theres so many threads like these everywhere of women managing to just accidentally get pregnant.

Meh!

Anyway, OP, hope you get the result you want x

I'm sorry @StormcloakNord. I didn't want to upset anybody I really hope it happens for you soon ❤️

I've got an unplanned 10 month difference between my 2 youngest children, our first reaction was 'what a disaster!' Extremely happy with how they've always been so close

Lol at the nail hate. I wasn’t blessed with the face of an angel or an amazing figure. I do however have great nails. They stayed a decent length (maybe a little shorter than normal’ fr all 4 of my babies.

It would be lovely to have 2 DCs so close in age.. the idea is growing on me.

If you had sex only a week ago it's probably too early to get the symptoms you're describing? It might just be your hormones fluctuating and maybe pms coming back.
Anyway, worth doing another test and it sounds increasingly like you'd actually really like it to be a positive :). I had my first two babies a year and a half apart and would have had them closer given the time again!

OP I think you're just letting your mind make the symptoms for you! But still crossing fingers you get the result you want.

As for sex after birth. I was advised by medical professionals that doing the deed earlier than 6 weeks post birth was inadvisible due to risk of uterine infection. But hey, if you all know the risks and are willing to accept them you do you. I personally couldn't face the idea of it for about 2.5 months :D

If the man "wihdraws correctly", surely theres only one way, whip it out,! what then it goes everywhere, how very strange, nothing quite like "coming together" in my book, especially special.Obiously you didnt have a pile of sutures, because you would be in agony hardly able to sit down, never mind anything else.
