can a woman easily get pregnant after 7 weeks of giving birth?

Answer 1

Maybe a little less likely if you're breastfeeding (although this isn't a good form of birth control, especially long term because you ovulate before your period so you may not see a period before you get pregnant again if you're not doing something to prevent it), but it's absolutely possible!!

That's why birth control is part of the 6-week postpartum discussion with your Doctor...

"Irish Twins" is the (primarily North American) slang for two babies born less than a year apart... (Note: Some people find it offensive and others say it's endearing. I first heard it from an "Irish Twin" who laughs about it herself.)

Answer 2

Yes You Can! You can get pregnant as early as 1 week after giving birth, but who on earth would even be interested in sex that early? And yeah, the little myth about not being able to get pregnant while breastfeeding....NOT TRUE! Your ovulation time changes after giving birth, some people can ovulate 1 week after, others, a few weeks later. Better use birth control if becoming pregnant is not what you are trying to acquire. Better to be safe than overwhelmed with kids lol.

Answer 3

Before I heard this story from my sister-in-law about her cousin I would have said no you can't get pregnant within 7 weeks after giving birth but her cousin gave birth and her boyfriend came and visit her in the hospital and he had sex with her and on her 6 week check up she was pregnant. Can you believe that s h i t. I have heard of some crazy things but this one was the icy on the cake. So to answer your question I would say hell yeah because after seeing two children 9 months apart, anything is possible.

Answer 4

Yes, you can most definately get pregnant with in that time period. Your body is actually very fertile after birth. That is why when you go to your follow up check the doctor usually talks about birthcontrol methods. It is not healthy to get pregnant that fast as your body has not yet recovered from the last pregnancy and birth, but it IS possible.

Answer 5

Yuh-huh. If you have started your menstrual cycle again (and remember, you'll ovulate before having your first period).

When you ask if women can "easily" get pregnant, are you actually trying to get pregnant that early???? Most everyone from doctors to midwives will tell you that your body might not be ready to handle another pregnancy that quickly. They recommend waiting to try to get pregnant until your other child is a year old, because of the number pregnancy, childbirth and nursing does on your body. If you get pregnant before that, your body hasn't had enough time to recover completely.

Answer 6

Most definatly. Every woman ovulates.....some sooner than others. Usually there is a six week waiting time before having sex and there are many stories about babies concieved at that first sex after the birth of the first baby

Answer 7

I dont think so,I was scared about this too because me and my fiance had unprotected sex less than 5 weeks after me giving birth and i was so afraid of being pregnant again but my period came on the next month.

Answer 8

My Mom got preganat with me, 4 weeks after giving birth. So yes, its possible!

Answer 9

ok first dont listen to that rocker guy hes an idiot. and second yes it is very possible, up until like 6 months after delivery you are most fertile. i recommend birth control or condoms.

Answer 10

Yes if you already have your regular period and had sex.

I have met several siblings in my 32 years on this earth that are 10-12 months apart...so it is VERY possible.
