Question 4

Question 5

is it possible to get pregnant 6 weeks after giving birth?

Accepted Answer

Fertile Ground: If you'd-a asked my grandmother, she'd-a told you that you could get pregnant while you were already pregnant. I think what she meant was that an unprotected fertile woman could get pregnant any time, depending on when she ovulates, which is quite variable after childbirth. So, yes, it can happen,even If you're breast feeding  and it's "only" six weeks. Advice: give it a rest for as few months

Question 8

how long after giving birth can you get pregnant? when should you test?

Accepted Answer

PREGNANCY: You can ovulate as early as 25 days after delivery.  You can also get pregnant before you have your first period.  Do not let your first postpartum period be your indication that you can get pregnant, because you're fertile around the time you ovulate, and you ovulate before you get your period.  To prevent pregnancy after you have your baby, you'll have to use birth control even if breast-feeding
