Postpartum

How soon after delivery can you call pregnant ? My appointment isn’t until the 12th and I had unprotected sex earlier but I stopped midway

3-4 weeks after you deliver

@Shazia he never came in me I didn’t let it get that far but I was just wondering bc a second baby wasn’t in our plans right now

there’s still a risk every time you have sex but if he didn’t finish in you i wouldn’t worry too much. be safe!!

There's always a risk. I knew a pair of siblings in school who were 9 months apart in age to the day, if that tells you anything. There's really no telling when any individual person will become fertile again, for some people it's immediate and some it takes several months, but it's pretty unlikely for it to happen so soon after giving birth. So I wouldn't worry too much, chances are you're fine but I'd maybe take a plan b to be safe (though if you're breastfeeding probably check that it's safe when breastfeeding first, I'm not sure on that.)

I’m not trying to be mean but as an adult, you should know the answer to this lol Anytime you have unprotected sex, there’s a risk. It doesn’t matter if you just had a baby or not. If a second baby isn’t in your plan right now, I’d say refrain from having unprotected sex. It’s not rocket science.

@Tosha and I’m not trying to be mean but there is such things called no self control when it comes to those things and hormones 😬

@Adrianna uhm. No. There’s not. 😂 that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. If you know you’re in a position where you may have sex and you don’t want to get pregnant, keep condoms/anti contraceptives/ birth control close. It’s called being responsible. There’s far too many options out there and you’re just being irresponsible, having no self control is a terrible excuse for risking an unwanted baby..

Yeah I have to agree with @Tosha …. If you don’t want a second baby, use protection.. I use Phexxi it’s a gel, I hate using it sometimes, but I also am not in a position of having a second child right now no matter how tempting it is to not put that gel before sex. Just use protection .

Even if you stopped midway there’s still a risk of pregnancy. I was someone who should’ve been pregnant so many times, as I was very irresponsible with my body at a young age. Thankfully for some great miracle I never got pregnant, until I had my son lol. After giving birth I was told to wait six weeks, & honeyyy on exactly 6weeks to the DAY I had sex again & got pregnant again. My kids are 10 months apart lol they are the same age for 2 months out of the year. If you’re not in a position to have another babe please think of that before laying down 🙏 bc I promise you, if you don’t want another, you esp don’t want to have one so close together. I was someone who felt like I couldn’t get pregnant for a long time until one day I did & then all of a sudden I became fertile mertle lol so there’s no way to tell how your body will behave so just keep that in mind! There’s more than yourself to think about when it comes to sex, bc there’s a potential for human life so just be safe! GL

@Tosha the baby wouldn’t be unwanted but I heard I wasn’t aloud to get on bc rn I have it on hand when I can

@Sequoia yeah no I was just asking bc I heard I wasn’t aloud on birth control yet and I got the pill yesterday from my doctor just in case anything did happen Sunday I’m just waiting on the okay from my ob office

@Adrianna you heard? lol you didn’t ask your dr? why not?… if you got it from your dr there’s no reason you can’t take it now. Nobody wants to have a baby right after having a baby lol that’s absurd.

@Tosha i asked them they just didn’t answer me back on the birth control and focused on the pill , I’ve been texting on the app but still no reply , my appointment is tomorrow tho so if they don’t answer me I’ll ask my actual ob tomorrow instead of her nurses

@Tosha I got it from my pcp not my ob and I asked her she told me to ask my ob office which they haven’t answered me

@Tosha they want me to take a pregnancy test before taking the pill but what doesn’t make sense to me is Sunday is way to early to show up on a pregnancy test but she’s saying recently pregnancy but I told her the only time I did have sex was when I stopped it which was Sunday so 6 weeks since I had my daughter
