[Lily189]

Hi just curious I had my baby 4 weeks ago and I'm breastfeeding
Was just wondering If you still haven't had a period and are breast feeding can you get pregnant
Has this happened to anyone

Any advice be great

Yes you can.

Yes. Without a doubt. You're probably even more fertile in fact!!

Yes you can.

Yes for sure!!!! Your actually more fertile shortly after having a baby not sure why though xx

You ovulate before your first post partum period so yes you can.

Yes this happened to someone I know, baby was 4 months and they fell pregnant but thought you couldn’t while breastfeeding. It’s an olds wife’s tail.

My periods returned around 5 months while ebf

Yes. Yes you can.

It's called the Lactational Amenorrhoea method- NHS says

"When used correctly and consistently, less than 2 in 100 women who use LAM will get pregnant in the first 6 months. However, take care to use the method correctly. Don't feed your baby other foods because this may reduce your lactation."

Absolutely and they do warn you that you are super fertile after!
