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 why everyone is being so rude about the withdrawal method. It's what people used to rely on, and while families were larger, they weren't all large. My mum was one of five and the smallest age gap was 3 years. Of course my grandparents could have practised abstinence, too.

I was also wondering how you could feel like DTD so soon afterwards but more with envy!

The tests from yesterday look negative to me. Good luck OP, hope you get the result you want.

fairweathercyclist I don't think they were being rude, just stating facts. Basically it is an extremely unreliable method of contraception. End of.

Late to the thread...but I have to say your nails look great.

It's always good to maintain the things you like and not lose what's a part of you because you're a mum.

That negatively test won't suddenly turn positive, no matter how many times you post it on MN

I think the fact the OP hasn't returned shows it was negative.

Awful when you get your hopes up and don't get a positive

I couldn't imagine having sex so soon after given birth i was to tired and bled heavily for 4 week's, it was almost 3 mths after the birth i had sex.

I couldn't imagine not having sex so soon after birth. I bled for 5 days but by day 8 I was so full of love for my partner, and awestruck at what we'd made together. We spent that first month in bed, taking care of our child and each other. It was lovely and I was very ready.

Three months in and we are both knackered all the time so sex in on the back burner 😂😂😂. Different strokes for different folks eh. Your experience isn't mine OPs is different again. Op I hope you get some clarity on the situation, and whatever the result you do what works for you and your family.

5 days. You were lucky. I bled heavily for 6 weeks.

So did I TapasForTwo. Didn't even think of sex until eight weeks after giving birth. It amazes me that people do. Ah well, we're all different.

@stormcloakNord I get you. We tried for ten years to get pregnant before having ivf for our 2 to complete our family. Then had sex once and accidentally got pregnant with dd3....

Ffs sod's bloody law.

I think the fact the OP hasn't returned shows it was negative.
She's unlikely to return. She was probably sick of everyone slagging her off for having unprotected sex and then being shocked at the possibility of getting pregnant.

Update ? Starting the pill can make you nauseous and vomit FYI xx

Update - not pregnant! I've been on Desogestrol and bled for a week. That stopped yesterday

Don't drive yourself crazy, just do the test and at least then you know what you're dealing with. I had 2 babies 11 months apart and it was no picnic, but there were (and still are, 25 years later) many many good things about having them very close together. Don't panic!

Ah, just seen your update. Hoorah!!
