Pregnant 4 weeks after birth??

13 replies

kayleighb21 · 13/02/2017 23:29

I had my baby 4 weeks ago. I haven't started back on any contraception yet as my GP told me to wait before taking the pill due to risk of blood clots. Yesterday me and my husband got a bit carried away and ended up having sex, although it was only for a minute or so as I realised it was silly and he didn't finish.
How likely is it that i could be pregnant from it? I'm worried now!!
When did you start contraception after birth?

I don't know how likely it could be that you would be pregnant but if it was me (cause I'm a worrier) I would get the morning after pill.

Unless of course you wouldn't mind another baby Smile

It's totally possible. I have two friends with 10 months between their babies. Neither intentional.

My Dsis has a best friend. Bf is 10 months older than her db. Luckily, different school years but only just.

So yes, it is possible. MAP tomorrow?

Very unlikely especially as he didn't ejaculate.

BertieBotts · 13/02/2017 23:51

Really unlikely if he didn't even finish.

Are you breastfeeding? Has your lochia finished and/or have your periods returned?

BertieBotts · 13/02/2017 23:51

PS get some condoms in just in case :)

Cakingbad · 13/02/2017 23:51

Get condoms in though.

Finola1step · 13/02/2017 23:52

Oh forgot to add, bf's mum probably thought it wasn't possible because it took 9 years to fall pregnant with her dd. 9 years and then in the space of 10 months, two babies. I kid you not.

Wow good on you being up for it so soon!

I'd get the morning after pill. You can be super fertile at this point.

WappersReturns · 13/02/2017 23:59

My DD1 and DD2 are 10 months apart so definitely possible. Don't rule it out, take the morning after pill if another pregnancy so soon isn't what you want.

Bluebellevergreen · 14/02/2017 06:10

Dont rule it out. Unlikely but it doesnt mean not possible

Use condoms

lottieandmia · 14/02/2017 06:17

It's not likely but you are supposed to be very fertile shortly after giving birth. If you're breastfeeding that should afford you some protection.

Not likely as he didn't ejaculate, but possible (my cousins are Irish twins).

MAP probably wise.
