Postpartum Pregnancy: Signs, Symptoms & What to Do After a C-Section

Question
I gave birth via csection I have been having unprocted sex since 5 weeks postpartum. How can I tell if I am pregnant or not?

Answer
Heather,


You'll have to take a pregnancy test.  Since you provided so little information (how far postpartum you are now, whether your cycles have returned, when they returned, etc), it's impossible to give you a more thorough answer.


It is recommended to space pregnancies after c-section about 2 years apart to allow the uterus to fully heal and to lower the risk of complications such as uterine rupture.



Best,
Catherine
