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.

I think "nearly hit the ceiling" was more of an in shock kind of way. I dont think he has soley blamed op. from what shes said, i dont think everyone can come to the conclusion he has blamed her.
Take a test, sounds unlikely from your dates and strength of symptoms though. These usually come around 5 or 6 weeks in

My eldest two are just over a year apart. They were like twins - and often mistaken for twins because the younger one was bigger for his age.
Just saying, it's do-able, and even has advantages. They are middle-aged now, very different characters, but great friends.
Good luck whatever your outcome..

I really didn't think there were still grown adults who think withdrawal is a form of contraception in this day and age. Just why wouldn't you organise proper contraception, using this for years you've just been lucky.

Are you breastfeeding? If so it's highly unlikely you are pregnant, but I was quite sickly around that point, hormones still settling down (I flew at 7 weeks and dr gave me anti sickness meds)

My obs/gynae told me that it’s very rare to fall pregnant on the first 3 months after delivery (not impossible - but rare, because of the level of hormonal ‘bounce’)

I’d never doubted their accuracy on anything. But I’ve seen on a number of MN threads now that it’s quite the opposite, indeed ‘super’ fertile.

Could someone link the source or other evidence of that?

if ur old enough to have a child, ur old enough to know the pull out method doesn’t really work. Silly really

OP, I found out I was pregnant when EBF our first was almost three months. I cried for about 2 weeks, I just couldn't wrap my head around it. Take the test and work out how you feel with the result.

I have a close age gap and know two people who have similar gaps of a year. I love the small age gap. Absolutely love it. Both are into the same thing. I stuck them in a double buggy and we just got on with things. Might as well change two nappies as one.

You will be fine

The only way to find out is if you take a test. On the other hand grow up! You're an adult,you know how babies are made. I mean the pull out method 🤦‍♀️. You sound like a teenager. If you're pulling out then it's because you know there is a chance of pregnancy. That's what condoms are for.

Changing babies nappies can spread sickness bugs. I had several in the first few weeks.

What on earth do you mean, CorBimey?

My youngest two were born 95 months apart - one end January, the other mid November.

Hard work but also fantastic

9.5!!!!

Take a test, OP

Going to take a test today. I've also had sharp pains where my left ovary is..

Are you breastfeeding? If so it's highly unlikely you are pregnant,

Incorrect

I'm amazed that there is 2 adults in the same house that think you can have unprotected sex and not get pregnant . You can Google it in 2 seconds.

Hope you get the result you want op

Good luck, I hope you get a negative.

Before I left the hospital after having my son, the midwife told us to buy condoms "just in case" because the risk of getting pregnant again straight after is so high.

An ex colleague struggled with infertility for years but finally had a baby naturally and then fell pregnant again within a month of giving birth.

For all those condemning the op with lack of education. When I had my youngest 14 months ago and due to him being an emergency cs rather than the elective I had planned with a sterilisation. Meaning they wouldn't do the sterilisation the surgeon told me if I was breastfeeding fully that it would be suitable to be used as contraception.

Yes I brought up a complaint that the surgeon is completely wrong. However if medical professionals are spouting incorrect advice, it's not beyond the realm for unqualified people to believe the same.

When my dc were born I was asked about contraception by both the midwives and health visitor. Surely that is standard?

@alfie22 - you used the withdrawal method twice and you're asking if you're pregnant and you're saying Jesus Christ to me??????!!!!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

its possible it happened to me

Very possible, and not as awful as you might think, get it all over and done with and they would grow up together. I do regret being pregnant and unwell for a lot of my sons first year though, I think we would have had a better year if I wasn't pregnant.
It will be okay.

Stay calm you have time to make a decision dont rush into anything. It could just be the left over hormones. After I had my DS I swear to god I still felt pregnant 6 weeks after.
