Yes, you can absolutely be pregnant if you have been sexually active if you have not been using contraception. Your menstrual cycle can be quite irregular and unpredictable up to 6-12 month after childbirth. Breast feeding can delay menstruation. However, just because you're breast feeding, doesn't mean you don't have to use contraception.
You shouldn't get your period if you are breast-feeding. But if you have decided not to breast-feed, your period should come at about 6-10 weeks later.
I have had three children and the period after birth lasted around 3 weeks. If you breast feed your baby you will probably not have another period after this one until you stop breast feeding.
As long as you are breastfeeding the baby, you can not get pregnant.
Breast feeding is a natural inhibitor of fertility, so if you're breast feeding you will be highly unlikely to have periods. Non-breast feeding mothers could expect to return to a fairly normal menstrual cycle about 10 weeks after giving birth but this can vary.
Yes she can my cat gave birth and after a week she was pregnant but the she starts hissing at them because she's afraid they will hurt the unborn
Unfortunately not. You are much less likely to get pregnant whilst breast feeding, but it is still possible, especially once you start going at least 4hours between feeds (eg: overnight).
If you're having regular, full periods, then it's very very unlikely that you're pregnant whatever happened before. If you haven't had a period in 3 months, then you may be pregnant, even if breast feeding may lower the chances of becoming pregnant for as long as you're doing it.
Most definitely. It is a common myth that you can't get pregnant when breastfeeding. However, it is just a myth. Breast feeding is in no way protecting you from pregnancy.
It can take months for your periods get back to normal, especially if you are breast feeding you can miss periods or have long times between them. You can still get pregnant while breast feeding and having irregular periods though so you should still use contraception.
Yes, it is perfectly normal to not have your period when you breastfeed. You could go the entire time you are breastfeeding without ever having a period. Enjoy! However, do NOT think that it means you are not ovulating and cannot get pregnant, you may be and you can, please use some form of contraception that works with breast feeding.
Breast feeding women can take progestin only birth control pills. With these hormones, you never have a placebo week; therefore, you should not have your period while taking them. Of course, you will need to discuss this with your doctor to determine if this is a good option for you.
Breast discharge and breast enlargement can be side effects of the birth control pill. Pregnancy signs are a missing period and positive pregnancy test.
