how soon after giving birth can you concieve?TMI!!

just wondering hoe soon after having a baby can you get pregnant again?? It took 3 years for us to get pregnant the 1st time around..but i am starting to have pregnancy symptoms again and I still haven't had a period 3 months after giving birth to my son. The other day i woke up and my fingers were so swollen my wedding ring was cutting into my finger. and theres still a mark. also i noticed that my down there area seems to be a little swollen too..and everything is giving me heartburn

After you give birth is your most fertile time....

I don't know, but would also like to know this answer. It took us 21 years to have this one and she turned 6 weeks yesterday ... I will be 40 years old in July, hubby is 42. He seems to want another one, but not so sure I do for a couple reasons. My age and we have no help from anyone, so i get all the duties except for a few hours he is not at work. Plus we have waited so long for this one I just really want to shower her with everything possible like love and attention and all.

Take a test, my sisters sister in law found out she was pregnant again at her 6 week pp visit. Especially since its been 3 months and still no period, i would for sure take a test! Good luck!

i still had preggo symptoms for 6 months after having my son i even felt like i was feeling flutters at one point (turns out it was just wind) i knew i wasnt preg though cause i had periods, if your unsure then just do a test and you can get pregnant pretty much straight away after giving birth some people say the first 3 months you will be your most fertille

If you're breastfeeding, you might not get a period until 6 months to a year after your child is born. my daughter is 5 months and I still haven't gotten mine yet. But if you are feeling pregnant, take a test. you are most fertile after you give birth! good luck!

It took me and my bf a lil over two years to get our first little bundle of joy
And then after i had her i didnt get a period... so around 2 1/2 months after having her i got a test done.... and i was pregnant again. I had her on may 14 and due next week with this lil one

Wow Mandy that was fast...lol! your kids are gonna be really close when they grow older!

anyway, yea if you are breastfeeding then thats probably the reason why ur not getting your period. I don't think swelling really happens if you're this eatly in pregnancy...or maybe it does...i dunno...im dumb...anyway! just take a test...and also, i felt sometimes like there was something inside me that was kicking for like two seconds...but im getting my period and everything...and well my stomach isnt hard...its soft...so yea...thats another symptom where u can tell whether ur preggers or not...i guess like "expectin trouble" pointed out...maybe it was just wind for me...lol

At first i didnt think ne thing of it cause i know your hormones are out of wack and i didnt stop bleeding for about almost 2 months after having my first .... but when i started getting the pregnancy signs again .... i knew something was up... my boobs hurt and nausia... and i took a test

A friend of mine had 2 children 10 months apart .. so you can get pregnant right after birth.
I have 2 kids who are just less than 1 year apart.

But you could go without a period for a long time if you are breastfeeding.

My Aunt has 2 boys who are literally 9 1/2 months apart! She didn't even wait the 6 weeks before jumping on my Uncle again! It's crazy because for 2 1/2 months eveyr year, the boys are the same age!

my last period was 23rd december 2012 i had my son 7th november 2012, had intercourse on 28th december and have been feeling really weird..... is it really possible to get pregnant that soon boobs hurt back and ribs and belly painful and being sick
