Friend Wants to Know...

Hi, my friend just had her baby about a month ago and shes concerned that she'll get pregnant again right away. Is a girl who just had a baby recently more fertile than others? Thanks

I heard that is true, but I don't know for sure.

You should wait 6-8 weeks after having a baby to have sex... Second you can get pregnant even while breastfeeding, you never know when you may ovulate...

I was raped and got pregnant only a month after I had my son scotty. It's reccomended that you wait for, is it 6 weeks, to have sex, but when I had my daughter I was told that was because of the stitches. There's really no way to know when it will happen.

Yes it is possible to get pregnant right after you give birth if there is an egg waiting on the sperm. The doctors tell you know sex for 6 weeks then when you go to your 6 weeks checkup he gives you the okay. But a lot of women go to that checkup and dicover they are pregnant again! Wow I can't imagine that. But from experience my hubby and I tried to have sex 4 weeks after and it just didn't work it was very painful even though my stiches were gone I was still not healed on the inside. Sex didn't feel good until like 8 weeks after.
