There is a very good possibility you could get pregnant. Your body is in no condition to undergo another pregnancy right now both for your sake and for the sake of the child if you became pregnant.
If you cannot afford contraceptives go to family planning in your area and they will provide you with some type of birth control. You need to get on some type of birth control before you have sex again. If you are not pregnant already you need to do everything you can to prevent it.

"I've heard that breastfeeding can keep me from getting pregnant. Is this true?"
Yes, as long as you nurse according to the rules of natural child spacing. The same hormones that make milk suppress the release of reproductive hormones. While breastfeeding full-time most mothers do not ovulate and do not have menstrual periods. This means that you can't get pregnant, at least for a while. It's as if your body is telling you, "Nourishing one baby is all you can handle at the moment. It's too soon for a sibling."
"How reliable is breastfeeding as a natural contraceptive?"
You have to follow the rules of the game to get the full benefit of breastfeeding's effect on fertility. In the last ten years, lactation researchers have developed the lactational amenorrhea method of family planning, called LAM. Research shows that LAM's effectiveness in preventing pregnancy is better than 98 percent, a figure that compares well with artificial methods of birth control. According to LAM, a mother can rely on breastfeeding for protection from pregnancy if she can answer "no" to the following questions:
* Have your menstral cycles returned?
* Are you supplementing regularly or allowing long periods without breastfeeding, either during the day (more than three hours) or at night (more than six hours)?
* Is your baby more than six months old?
Studies have shown that most mothers who are breastfeeding exclusively remain infertile for more than the six-month period covered by LAM. Ovulation and menstruation return only when the baby starts to nurse less often and prolactin levels fall.

YES!!! That you can't get pregnant when you are breastfeeding is a MYTH!! IT"S NOT TRUE!! You need to go get some birthcontrol or use condoms. My baby is 4 months and my husband and I use condoms (I like them because it keeps sex less messy)
PLEASE use contraceptives, your body needs to rest and you want to be able to enjoy this baby before you have another one!

As long as you're ovulating, there's always a possibility that you can get pregnant if you're not using a contraceptive.

YES you can get pregnant. Breastfeeding does not always stop ovulation, and you've stopped breastfeeding anyway.
Why would you think that you could NOT get pregnant?

first of all, what does breastfeeding have to do with getting pregnant? second, if you're having sex (especially unprotected) then of course there's a chance. Good luck
