Fertility After C-Section: When Can You Get Pregnant Again?


Question
I am 39 yrs old an had my second baby in October of last  year.  I have not had a period since giving birth to him.

My question is can i get pregnant without having a period this soon after giving birth.

Answer
Usually, you will not ovulate until you have gotten your period. However, there have been instances where ovulation has occurred in the absence of a regular period. Therefore, you have to be careful if you do not wish to conceive again this soon. If you have not gotten your period since October, and you are not nursing, your doctor should induce your period for you.
