A member asked:

Can you get pregnant before postpartum period and still have your first postpartum period?

Dr. Wayne Ingram answered

Not if a full period: If the post partum period was a full period and not just lochia from the delivery then pregnancy is not possible especially if contraception was used. No contraception used, who knows? Pregnancy is then always a possibility.
