I'm looking over your questions. If the boyfriend who wouldn't cut you any slack while you had morning sickness has already been shown that the baby you just had is his (or could be) because of the blood type question and he's still not planning to marry you, having another baby right on top of this one is not going to make that fact change.
Get your life together, take care of the baby you just had... and yourself... and stop trying to trap a man who may not want to be trapped. You're only giving yourself more to deal with when he bails completely.
There are no men on white horses riding to the rescue. Be your own hero and do what's best for you and your daughter.

Why do you want to get pregnant so soon? Your first concern should be the well-being of your child that you already have. Take time and nurse properly, no there is nothing you can take. And it isn't true that you can't get pregnant while nursing. It isn't as likely but it does happen. And I will tell you that I found out much to my surprise that sometimes when the baby starts sleeping throught the night and eating some solid foods, the period can come back even though you're still nursing.

Sometimes you don't ovulate when you are nursing, but you definitely can. As the baby gets older and you are nursing less frequently you will start ovulating. Some people start ovulating right away, I know I have a sister who is 13 months younger than me. At this point I wouldn't worry about it. It isn't really good for your health to have two pregnancies that close together. Most doctors will recommend you wait at least a year between pregnancies. I just wouldn't do anything for now and you'll probably end up pregnant.

the first year after having a baby you are EXTREMELY FERTILE, even if you nursing,your still ovulating,i know allot of people who get pregnant will there nursing, they didn't have a period at that time either,its all those hormones that make the bleeding stop,if you want another baby you can have one anytime now,i would wait a little bit though, being pregnant with a infant is not easy.

You'll just have to wait. Most women don't want to get pregnant that soon. Just eat a balanced diet and take your vitamins. When you're body's ready, it will start back up. I didn't have a period until I stopped breastfeeding completely.

You can get pregnant anytime- even during breast feeding. A lot of doctors say what they believe and so will people on here.
As for your period didn't you have after birth for a couple weeks? and then you'd have to wait for your period to get back to normal.
I had read that breast feeding helps to not become pregnant however to me that just doesn't make sense.
However if one baby is still feeding off you, wouldn't your body sort of be like "don't get pregnant you're still nursing the last child"
Just a question- if you just had a baby why would you want to have another so soon? 2 in diapers, bottles, night feedings, etc. To me that seems like a lot of work. Well best of wishes to your family!

You can get pregnant. You do not need to get your period to get pregnant. I got pregnant while I was breastfeeding and hadnt even had a period. However, I suggest you wait a few more months.
good luck

Breastfeeding is NOT birth control and you are MORE fertile right after giving birth...all you have to do is have intercourse regularly....you deffinately CAN get pregnant while breastfeeding

why are you in such a hurry?? Give your body a rest and spend some time with the new baby before jumping into another pregnancy. It will be better in the long run for your body and the baby.

why in the world would you want to get pregnant again if you just had a baby one month ago? that is not good for your body at all!
