Re: pregnant again?
Yup, you can get preggo this quick. Take a test!
Re: pregnant again?
Although you can get pregnant again but I think because you are breastfeeding that's why you didn't get your periods. Its very common for breastfeeding mothers to not get their periods. Sometimes they say, breastfeeding works as a contraceptive.
I googled this:
"I've heard that breastfeeding can keep me from getting pregnant. Is this true?"
Yes, as long as you nurse according to the rules of natural child spacing. The same hormones that make milk suppress the release of reproductive hormones. While breastfeeding full-time most mothers do not ovulate and do not have menstrual periods. This means that you can't get pregnant, at least for a while. It's as if your body is telling you, "Nourishing one baby is all you can handle at the moment. It's too soon for a sibling."
So yes you can get pregnant but there is also a possibility that you are not ovulating because of breastfeeding. Trust me, its very very normal :)
Re: pregnant again?
^ That's true. Some women don't get their's until months after they stop nursing.
HOWEVER you cannot assume that will be the case.
Re: pregnant again?
U can VERY MUCH get pregnant even WHEN bfeeding… If only we could count on our fingers the number of accidental pregnancies due to the myth of not getting pregnant whilst bfeeding… Ive got quite a few angry friends and family members cuz of this misleading fact
I didnt get my period for 8 months post delivery…even though i wasnt bfeeding.
Re: pregnant again?
yes you can get pregnant but there is a chance that you may not be.
do a test when you feel the pregnancy symtoms.

Re: pregnant again?
yOu can definitely get pregnant while breastfeeding, but it's also totally possible that you don't get your period for months while breastfeeding.. I didn't get mine for a good13 months....
