You certainly could be pregnant. But are you breastfeeding? I don't know how long it takes after having a baby to get your period because I breastfed and didn't get a period until 2 months after I stopped.
If you had sex 5 weeks ago, you should be able to test now. If you don't get a positive but still wonder, you could wait a week and take another. I've always gotten fast results with first response (3-4 weeks after sex).

I just recently had a csection also. I bled for about 2 weeks of and on after the section, and my period came almost exactly 4 weeks after I stopped bleeding, so I would say 6 weeks after my c-section.

It is soooo easy to get pregnant soon after birth. It is very important to use protection at this time. Whether you're breastfeeding or not. It is definately not a good form of birthcontrol.
