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.

Everything was consensual means that you both wanted to have unsafe sex, right?

Good luck! I'd take the test asap. Waiting or trying to guess will simply leave you in limbo (imo).

Using the withdrawal "method" when you don't even know when you're ovulating is just stupid. Neither of you should be freaking out or hitting the ceiling. Unprotected sex causes pregnancy socker.

We'd used withdrawal for years and never got pregnant that way. I feel the chances are slim that I am pregnant but something is niggling at me.

Why am I getting deja cut in this place again? Did you post this last week?

Good luck with the test. I hope you get the answer that you want. There was another thread similar recently and the OP ended up happily pregnant (IIRC).

@MotherTime3 nope?

Take a test.. I know a few siblings very close in age that were surprises 😍

OP, I was randomly sick on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and still feel a bit off colour now. My DP also hit the roof when I said I was going to do a pregnancy test (even though I have the coil and it is unlikely) a lot of men seem to think contraception is all down to the women and we can just decide to get pregnant! And also desire to be pregnant all the time!!
Anyway it turned out to be just chronic constipation for me 😬😬😬. I hope you get the answer you want!

@MotherTime3 No, there are just a startling number of women who don’t seem to realise the withdrawal method isn’t contraception.

I am sorry you are worried OP but the withdrawal is not a method and so dangerous people still mention or even do this.
I am certain as part or my prep talk and advice after birth I was informed about contraception, but I knew already. Surely it was mentioned at your check up?
All you can do now is take a test.
Of course you can get pregnant straight away, were you exclusively breast feeding? Even then I used protection.
Your partner well, he should know that pulling out is bullshit and he should use a condom instead of being outraged now

This is how the pill made me feel lost first child. Take a test but it could also be that.

First of course you do need to establish if you are pregnant.

Your post is also very confusing ...

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!

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%..

We'd used withdrawal for years and never got pregnant that way. I feel the chances are slim that I am pregnant but something is niggling at me.

You've used withdrawal method for years at it worked well, you know however it is very risky, didn't think there was any accidents apart from one of the two times you had sex (50%) if you've used the method for years, surely your DP must know how it works? You also knew you should've got something sorted out sooner getting the pill.

You need to sort out your contraception and quickly,

Also contraception is not your sole responsibility so saying "I should've got something sorted" isn't right, you both should.

I swear there have been at least 3 'am I pregnant' threads in the last week or so. All withdrawl method, all very soon after pregnancy..... How is this still unknown by so many!?!

Take a test today. You're most fertile after giving birth.

We conceived our second during a very drunken night - 10 seconds in (literally) if that and then thought shit we should be using a condom even though I was outside of what I thought was my fertile window. We immediately stopped and I didn't take map because we didn't think it would happen (we were planning to ttc within a few months so also weren't concerned).

Take a test.

You're most fertile after giving birth.

That was debunked on a similar thread recently.

I had an abortion at 7 weeks pregnant. My DC was 12 weeks old. It is very possible.

I’m so tired of seeing these threads. What has happened to basic sex education?

Wait and then do a test, try not to stress until you know for sure.
I have a 13month old and a 10 week old ! It's busy but doable!
Good luck x

Take the test - take the test - take the test - then you will know,
Your partner is a selfish sod - oh he hit the roof - oh dear - poor him - does he not know he can use a condom - or is he one of those who “don’t like them, they spoil the feeling” “for him” - I’d make him wear one every time going forward.
I’m from a large family and my mother got pregnant nearly every 3 months after having her last one - she was a catholic “it was a sin” to use contraception to her which resulted in her having breakdowns.
Look after yourself OP.

@minibunz with you there

It's possible. I had my 4 all within 3 1/2 years. The first when I was just 24. Breast feeding all the way through! All single births - they are now DS 25, DD 24, DS 23, & DD 22. It was organised chaos for years but never a dull moment & we wouldn't change a thing. Our thinking was to have them close together - (not really believing it would happen so quickly each time) so they'd be off one after another as they hit 18- it hasn't worked out like that but we feel blessed they still want to spend us! It's been a crazy ride, they are all now doing their own thing- they are so close as siblings & their friendships groups have merged naturally which, with no real contact with extended family, gives me comfort for their future. Not boasting- it's been bloody hard & we'll never be rich- although if I had a penny for every time someone said to me " you've got your hands full" I would be! ( usually watching me struggle with a double buggy, toddler & a papoose). We've had more than our fair share crisis/calamity but their bond with each other & ours as a family is stronger than ever. As two parents who left home at 16 to escape unhappy childhoods - it's made us who we are.

Some posters are being harsh on the op, she is going through a tough situation. DH and I pretty much always use the withdrawal method and have been fine for 4 years doing this, so it is contraception. As soon as we stopped, we got pregnant, three times. So we are/were fertile as well. However it is not 100% reliable, most people are aware of this.

Anyway op only way to know is to take a test. Your partner doesn’t sound overly supportive but hopefully he was just in a bit of shock.

He has got no right hitting the roof.
If he didn’t want you getting pregnant then he shouldn’t have had unprotected sex with you.

Was this written in 2019, or 1819! You presumably didnt want another baby this soon because you went on the pill. Unprotected sex often equals er a baby. After giving birth much easier to gt pregnant again.My old neighbours 2 were 10 months apart because of this "thinking".

Bless u OP. Do a test today and then worry after when u know if there is something to worry about. 🤞 u get the result u want x
