Can you really get pregnant the first month?

Question

One month postpartum, can you really get pregnant? I’m EBF and curious

Answer

Who the hell is having sex??

Answer

Yesyesyes. You are extremely fertile.

Answer

You definitely can, but the odds are also against it, especially if you pump or breastfeed. If you go straight to formula, for if there is something that prevents you from doing consistent breastfeeding and pumping, then it is definitely possible to get your period back almost right away

Answer

They say breastfeeding is “nature’s birth control” but I think it’s because it makes you dry down there, not because it’s actually birth control. You can totally get pregnant while you’re breastfeeding.
I’m 6w5d postpartum and I’m anxiously waiting for the call to get my IUD in. My husband and I have had sex three times and I’m super nervous hoping I don’t get pregnant right now.

Answer

I got my first period already when I was 4w5d PP and I only ebf 😫 so possible!

Answer

Upon discharge from the hospital they told us you’re most fertile 25 days after delivery. So yea I’d assume you can get pregnant.

Answer

Yep my doctor told me to come back for family planning at 6 weeks and to do anything till then unless we want another one

Answer

Extremely fertile. And “supposedly” breastfeeding only works as birth control if you never go over 4 hours without a feed. I still wouldn’t trust it, but that’s what they say.
