Pregnant Before Your 6 Week Checkup

WOW!!!! your only 22! SLOW DOWN. You shouldnt have been even doing anything to get pregnant if your daughter is only 4 weeks old. But, to answer your question you can absolutely get pregnant during this time. Your probably more fertile now. Anyway, GOOD LUCK! and get some birth control LOL!!

It is possible to get pregnant before your six week check-up. You and your husband should not be doing anything till after the six weeks anyway but things happen :). You might as well wait and not take a test because of the change and everything going on right now the test might not be right. So I would wait till you go to the doc and if there is a chance you could be pregnant again tell your doc and they will be able to tell you. Don't think about it cause it will drive you nuts. Focus on your new little angel. And congratulations!!!

If you are not breastfeeding, your fertility will return quickly. Moms who breastfeed exclusively & ecologically (no bottles, pacifiers, supplementation of any kind, no solids, no water) can't really get pregnant in the first 3 months postpartum.

It is possible to get an early return of fertility if breastfeeding exclusively though I've never met any exclusively breastfeeding mom who got pregnant within the first 6 weeks postpartum.

Anyway, I'd imagine that you could take a pregnancy test whenever you want! And from there, you could get a range of your EDD. Wow, I can't imagine being pregnant again so soon after 9 months of pregnancy/giving birth - if you are pregnant again, please make sure you eat *really* well/healthfully since your body has been through a very taxing 9 months already and is facing another 9 months of growing *another* baby. Best of luck to you!

Yes, especially if you are not breastfeeding. They would determine your EDD by ultrasound. You could take a pregnancy test as soon as you think you are.

My mom found out she was pregnant with my brother at her 6 week check up!! We are 10 months apart~so it is very possible!! I would suggest you talk to your OB/GYN about the other concerns.

yes, my mother and her brother were only 8 months apart (my mom was born early).
