well I'm sorry to say this but you have a really high chance of being pregnant..this happened to me my son was 6 month old when i found out i was 31/2 months pregnant .don't worry at first you'll think the world is coming down on you, but thing will turn out just fine.

Yeah, I'm afraid the chances are good that you could be pregnant again. In fact, the only sure fire way besides abstinence to assure that you won't get pregnant is if you are already pregnant. Any other time, always assume that you can get pregnant. Never ever ever assume that you're "safe". There is no such thing. Always use protection if you don't want to get pregnant. Condoms are cheap and easy.
BUT...for both of my pregnacies it was around the 3rd month post partum that I got my period. So chances are also good you just haven't gotten it yet. But take a test to be sure.

Ok first off freaking out will not help! yes you are alittle late, if you just bought a house, and are worried about expenses and the baby it would not be unusal for your period to be late.
and saying you should get your period back at 4 to 8 weeks is saying your baby should be born between 38 and 40 weeks. That is an average not an absoulte. I counted and it has only been 11 weeks since your baby was born, and that is awhile but if you are stressed not a postive sign you are pregnant.
YOU need to take a pregnancy test to give you piece of mind

Its not uncommon for the first period after your baby to be "late".
But if you think you are pregnant then you need to take a test and find out for sure. I have kids that are 364 days apart(i got pregnant on the pill!) But since you are under a great deal of stress I would bet that that is why your period is late. Give it a few weeks..and if you still dont have a period...then Take a test.

Time to test and make sure. For some women though, periods go away when nursing or will lessen signifigantly. Have you recently stopped nursing? This could be a factor. BUT, don't believe the nursing/no preggers myth. OLD WIVES TALE! Child #2 concieved while nursing child #1. My kids are 15mos apart. Condom up chick.

You *should* does not mean you will, and it does not mean EVERYONE.
My mom had her period the next month, my niece didn't have hers for a year...both non-nursing.
Only thing you can do is test, and also wear some condoms if pregnancy is not desired at this time.
If your religion prohibits it, cross those legs girl!!! (that was intended to be funny, not mean haha)

For some people, it takes longer to get her period back. In theory, it is possible. If you are concerned, get a pregnancy test and check.
