YES.... IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT YOU ARE PREGNANT AGAIN ALREADY. A WOMAN IS MOST FERTILE AFTER SHE GIVES BIRTH. IF THE DOCTOR GAVE YOU A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH AT YOUR LAST VISIT, YOU ARE FINE TO CARRY ALREADY. I WOULD NOT CONTINUE THIS CYCLE THOUGH. YES, YOU CAN HAVE SEX DAILY, IF YOUR DOCTOR RELEASED YOU.
EVEN THOUGH YOUR BREAST FEEDING, IT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS SOME SORT OF BIRTH CONTROL, ACTUALLY IT TELLS YOUR BODY THAT YOU ARE READY TO CARRY AGAIN (HORMONES, ETC). CALL THE DOCTOR, HAVE A TEST. --------------- DON'T BE SURPRISED THOUGH.

Plan on getting pregnant again soon if you do not use some form of protection. Breastfeeding does not guarantee that you will not resume your cycle. Yes, it is safe, health wise, to have relations with your husband. It is always good for you to wait at least a year before having another baby as your body needs the rest. Your organs have been working for two so a year is a good time to wait before becoming pregnant again. To enjoy your relationship every day is wonderful but you would be wise to find a protection that would work for you both. Take care.

That old tale about not getting pregnant while breastfeeding is just that, an old wives tale. You can get pregnant, so use condoms or some form of birth control. I have a friend who was pregnant at her 6 weeks check-up because she believed that about breastfeeding. Now she has two kids just a little over 9 months apart.

According to the lacation Amenorhhea Method, you only have a 2% chance of getting pregant if you meet the following conditions;
Your baby is exclusively breastfed
Your baby is under 6 months of age
You have not had any bleeding after 8 weeks postpartum.
If your periods have returned, this doesn't apply to you. It sounds like you meet the other 2 conditions.
Also, it is important to note that another pregnancy does not mean you will not be able to continue nursing your baby. Towards the very end of your pregnancy, your body would revert to making colustrum for the newborn, but pregnancy does not mean you have to wean.
