2 weeks after giving birth, what are the chances of becoming pregnant?

[aley28]

Didn't they speak to u ladies about the chances of getting preg after birth is highly likely if no contraception is used? They spoke to me about this before i was discharged from hospital.

Even when breast feeding?

Yes. Straight after birth you are super fertile. If you are breast feeding that will protect you till around 6 months. But it is very possible to get pregnant 2weeks after birth more so than normal.
I also know a few friends with small age gaps 2 with 10 month gap so its very likely.

I had my son October 26th. The nurses didn't say anything to me about chances of getting pregnant so soon after giving birth. But they did tell us not to have sex at least until my 6 week check up. But we didn't listen... our plan for birth control was to use condoms. Which we have been using... Except for that very first time we had sex 4weeks+2days (November 28th) after I had my son. So... I'm in the same boat... wondering if I am pregnant again or not. I'll wait until mid-January or so... and take a test.
