I just had my 1st baby september 26th and
am breastfeeding him. I am almost done
bleeding and already started to have sex
again. I know breast feeding isn't birth
control, but could I still get pregnant so
soon? When should I be worried about
getting on birth control and what kinds of
birthcontrol could I use since I am
breastfeeding?

Hi, yes you can get preg and even more
likely to because you are breast feeding.
Im not sure what kind of bith control to
use because I have never been on any..
You said you just had a baby you really
should have waited some weeks to have sex
it would be safer... Good luck

Didnt your doctor advise you not to have
sex yet? It has only been a little over
a week! I was told atleast 5 weeks...
Your cervix is still compromised and you
can get a really bad infection... If I
were you, I would wait the 5 weeks, its
not worth the risk!

Yup, you shouldn't be having sex for 6
weeks and then get on bc, you are
extremelly fertile after having a baby and
it is super dangerous to you and fetus if
you get pg right away again.
