Hello im just a bit worried , had my beautiful baby boy in sept and bleed for about 4 weeks after , havent had a period since. Ive been using condoms as a birth control but 2 night ago forgot to use one. Could there be a chance im pregnant?, does breastfeeding react as a contriceptive ?? Reply as soon as Possible PLEASE thanks xxx
No breastfeeding is NOT a contraceptive. You CAN get pregnant and be breastfeeding. that is a common misconception. My sister in law thought the same thing and while she was breastfeeding she became pregnant with her second child and the first one wasn't even a year yet ...
