if you dont want another baby then use protection though its recoemnding to AVOID sexual intercourse for at least 6 weeks of a vag delivery and 8 weeks i believe for a c/s. You can get pregnant IMMEDIATLEY after, all depends on your body. you do NOT need to have a period to become fertile. breastfeeding is NOT birth control, nor is pull n pray. At your 6 week post partum appt your doc will discuss birth control with you. if he/she does not then YOU bring it up. if you really do not want another baby so soon then make sure that doesnt happen!

Usually you aren't fertile while you're breastfeeding, but I don't think I'd depend on that. You can get pregnant almost immediately. You don't even need to get a period. I have a pair of cousins--they call them Irish twins. The first one was born and 6 weeks later, mom was pregnant again. So for a couple of months every year, both boys are the same age.
Enjoy that baby! Congrats!

Oh yes ...I think that you are even more fertil right after you have a baby....I mean when the bleeding stops anyway.
I had a c-section with my first daughter, and I only bled for 2 weeks after, but I was 3 months pregnant with my second child on my 1st daughters 1st birthday!!
I am in a totally different boat than you right now......my husband and I are actually trying to have another baby now!
Good Luck to you, and if you don't want another baby right now, then you should be careful!

A c-section is the same as natural delivery as far as fertility goes. You are fertile almost immediately. So you do want to be careful. My grandmother went to her six week appointment four weeks pregnant. And I have had several friends to do the same.

I am not entirely sure but I do know that my Doc told me not to have sex for 6 weeks after having my first daughter... Not sure if that will help or not but that is all I remember LOL

it'd be the same as vaginal one would think... wich depends on if you're breastfeeding completely or not, but even so my doctor tried to get me on the mini pill at my 6 week check up.

well you arent supposed to be having sex yet. you supposed to wait until after your 6-8 week check up so your body can heal.
yes you can get pregnant

Hi April, Sweetie your body isn't ready for sex yet...even if you are.
Be creative and you can still have fun.
Congrats of your baby !!!
