Hi, i'm 11 weeks postpartum with my first baby, exclusively breastfeeding. we had unprotected sex yesterday, and i'm worried i might be pregnant again because today i'm feeling crampy...lately i've been getting weird symptoms that have reminded me of earl

Get a pregnancy: test now. If negative, wait a week, then check another pregnancy test. If negative again, wait another week, check another pregnancy test. Don't convince yourself that you are not pregnant until you have had 3 negatives in 3 weeks and your period has returned. The first 2 months after delivering a baby is when the woman is the most likely to get pregnant, as the system has been pre-primed !!

Post partum sex: Yes, you are correct to be concerned about pregnancy if you were not using contraception. Do a pregnancy test and if negative obtain contraception for the future events as it is difficult to raise two children less than one year apart.

Too early...if: While you are correct to worry about pregnancy if this was your only unprotected exposure it is too early for you to have pregnancy symptoms. If you have been exposed intermittently over the past month or two you need to test.
