Getting pregnant after being pregnant is incredibly possible . It's said that it can usually happen as early as 3 weeks after pregnancy 😅 so be careful girl

You become REALLY fertile after birth…. So very high chance

My brother and his partner got pregnant 6 weeks post part in 🤷🏻‍♀️ so very easy, apparently you’re super fertile. Use condoms if you don’t want to risk it

Very high chance of becoming pregnant but also risk getting an infection that’s why we’re told to wait

being more fertile after giving birth is actually a myth. i looked it up & it says after giving birth you don’t start ovulating again for a minimum of 3 weeks. meaning, you aren’t fertile during that time period. & if you’re breastfeeding that 3 weeks can be even longer. still be careful though if you guys aren’t wanting another child right away because everybody’s body is different. so what may happen later for some people, can happen sooner to you. i would be more concerned with the fact that you’re supposed to wait a minimum of 4 weeks to protect your body from any infection. your body just changed & it’s pretty much an open wound right now. i would focus on healing & taking care of your body first. you can have plenty of sex in the future once you are healed

They are obviously very high

Did u deliver naturally?

yes I did

I also had sex one week pp after a natural birth. I made my husband pull out even tho we had some oopsies but knock on wood I didn’t get pregnant lol

what about anal sex would that be okay?

I assume so I definitely don’t do anal but I’m guessing that’s perfectly fine

Christ alive!! 😂

Lol this is why I went to the store the moment we were cleared for sex. Spermicide is where it's at

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
