Okay so some people must think im so idiotic for doing this but it is my choice. well anyways I have a new born baby girl of 3months and in the last 3/4 weeks iv had unprotected over 3 times id say and i just want to know what the chances are of me getting pregnant i am not trying, i am just going to take it as it comes. so really want to no if ur more fertile after birth. cause iv been told you are, but i have been havin unprotected sex since i gave birth and have had two sets of periods. if that makes any sense



totallykatalicious - 97 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes you are more fertile after birth

mommy-of-3 - 99 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have heard that after you have a baby you are more fertile. Are you breastfeeding? I have heard that sometimes it can take a lot longer to get pregnant if you are so maybe that's what has kept you from getting pregnant again. I would suggest some type of birth control at least for a few months because it's really tough on your body to get pregnant right away again if you do.

jah-baby - 100 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) girl get a preggo test asap.u are definetly 1000% more fertile after birth..my friend had a baby in 2007 and got pregnant 3 months later so now has 2 boys 11 months apart

slnkl - 102 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yes, you are more fertile after birth! so i was told too! i'd give it some time for your body to get back to normal.

Baby3OnWay - 102 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I UNDERSTAND THIS QUESTION ALL TO WELL... your cycle takes awhile to get back on track blah blah blah and YS you are more fertile whether breastfeeding or not. My son was born November 8, 2007 and here I am April 12, 2008 at 16+ weeks meaning my son will only be 10 or 10 1/2 months old when this one is born!! Good luck and hope this answers your question. i learned it the hard way, BUT i knew the chances just though.. "wont happen to me!" hahaha YA RIGHT number 3 and I'm done now! take care my lady.. careful with the nookie!! haha

hollienjax - 103 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It just depends on your cycle. With you having had periods, I would think that your cycle is back to normal but it's hard to tell. I don't think you are any more fertile after you have a baby than any other time but I'm not sure about that.

ryanzbabi - 103 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It all depends on you. Some women get pregnant a month or two after child birth. Talk you your doctor, they should tell you everything you need to know :)

ttasha - 103 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Dont worry girl i had my son 2 months ago and ive been having unprotected sex im not rtying for another one either but it feels better without a condom They do say you are more fertile after giving birth

jade - 104 days ago id say trying is. having sex all the time hopeing for the outcome of pregnacy im just having sex when i feel it. took me 3 years to get preggers with summer. think it may be the same next time around thanks for the concerns

Mommyof2boys - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) A lot of women use to think they couldn't get pregnant when they were breastfeeding, the truth is you are very fertile after the baby is born and during breastfeeding. Its very important for your body to heal after having a baby. A girl I know had a baby last May and got pregnant a month later and now is on strict bedrest for not letting her body heal. There's a lot of risk.

2ndxmommy!! - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) OMG!!!YES YOU ARE VERY VERY FERTILE after having a baby I know it for a fact....my son was 4months old when I found out I was Pregant again!! and wow I was scared but I eneded up having a misscarriage...but now I am pregnant again I am now 23 weeks pregnant with a girl!! but goodluck to you if you are pregnant again!!!

captshelley - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It's more about the infection it will cause because your uterus is open. Then if you do get pregnant with an infection it could be damaging and painful. Girl if your not using protection then you ARE trying to get pregnant.

Brandi J. - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It is possible if you are not completely breastfeeding. This means that you are your babies only source of food, your baby recieves no bottles, pacifiers, solid foods, etc, and you have not had a regular cycle since having the baby. But since you have, then you more than likely have returned to fertile cycles. Good Luck to you, and let us know if you are expecting another beautiful blessing!! God Bless you! And for the record, I don't think you are idiotic (I am assuming you are married), BC is horrible for any woman's body!

smilebig27 - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes, you can get pregnant very easy. I know about 2 people that got pregnant like that. You might want to us protection if you don't want to have another so soon.

mattie4 - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yes it is possible to get preggers right after having a baby, and yes most are more fertile after having had a baby. Many dr.s prefer that you wait and give your body time to heal and get over having the first, but many mommies want to get pregnant right away so that their babies will be close in age. I have also been told that when breastfeeding this is a natural birthcontrol, but to take the mini pill while doing so b/c it isnt fool proof. my sister is one that can attest to that, lol. Anyhow, if you are not wanting to get preggers again anytime soon, i would highly suggest you take precautions to not do so, and if you do want to get preggers again, then well continue on your way :).

2nd1ontheway - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You are more fertile after you give birth, but inorder to concieve you still need to make sure you are having sex during ovulation.

jade - 104 days ago WELL LADIES IM NOT PREGNANT LOL discussion closed thank i may go on some sort of conception cause i dont want to be pregnant for my 18th birthday so after i turn 18 im going to try for another one =D and that would give enough time for my body to completely heal

Carmione - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Anytime within the first 6 weeks after giving birth you are fertile again. I have read stories myself that say once you've been pregnant, the easier it is for you to get pregnant again. I'm not sure how true that is as everyone is different- I do know for sure that once you have twins, the chances of you having another set almost double. I know that was off topic, but I couldn't help it.

hhall - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have also heard you are very fertile after birth/ miscarriage.

kayleighrobo - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yes you are very very fertile i had my first son and when he was 3/4 months i got caught pregnant and i was on the pill at the time, but now im glad they are close together because they keep eachother occupied and play together makes it so much easier xx

LMO - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) yeah you are very fertile after having a baby.

Laura Ward - 104 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Because your hormones are still out of control, you are more likely to get pregnant after having a baby. If you are having a period, then you are ovulating. If you are ovulating, then you can conceive if you are having sex (protected or not). Your body is probably not ready to handle another pregnancy so soon and your best option would be to get on some form of birth control or make sure that your partner is using protection. Good luck!

michaela - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes you can get pregnant, you cycle is back and you are more fertile now. It is important to let your body recover so personally i would leave it a few more months before letting fate make that decision for you. All the best. xx

vikki - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Ok, so basically, if your cycle has started up again, then yes you are fertile! (Some peoples cycle doesn't start until they have finished breastfeeding but that is a person to person thing.)

JennSever - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) if you can, figure out when you ovulate..you can have sex using the pull-out method or even rhythm method. rhythm method is having sex ONLY during your least fertile times. usually 4dys before you ovulate and 4dys after

Cindie - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) good chances. about %25.

MelissaJoanne - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes you can get pregnant. I think that sex without baby prevention is essentially the same as trying to get pregnant. You should at least try to not have unprotected sex right around when you're ovulating, though that's not a guarantee that you won't get pregnant anyway. It's not that you're idiotic, I just think that you need to give your body more time to heal before you have another baby.

dueoct262008 - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have been told with my previous births that you are more fertile after giving birth did your dr discuss b/c with you at your aftercare check ups? after both of my sons were born my dr administered bc at the hospital or my first visit:)

Darianna - 105 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) Hey: If you are wanting twins, for you kids will be only about 12 months apart, keep it up!! It is your family not mine, but i would have waited the 6 months to let my body heal, and yes you can get pregnant in the third week if not careful!!

magali - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) you can get pregnannt anytime you have unprotected sex or even is you use birth control but your chances are high if you dont so if i were you i will wait for my period if you are late you can take a pregnancy test i wish you all the best if you have an bft so get tested and let me know hun!

Holly28 - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't know about whether or not you are more fertile after giving birth but I do know from experience IT ONLY TAKES ONCE UNPROTECTED! My b/f and I conceived our FIRST time unprotected. Sounds to me like if you are having unprotected sex then there is a good chance you will get pregnant. Maybe something like an IUD would be a good option for you. That is what I am doing after this baby is born. Then, I am protected but don't have to think about it

CourtneyR26 - 105 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yes your are more fertile after giving birth and the chances are always high of getting pregnat if your haveing unpotected sex.
