Can you get pregnant 5 weeks after giving birth?

Answer by  ambersfrog (157)

Yes it is possible to get pregnant 5 weeks after giving birth, sooner than that even. It is a good idea to wait the 4-6 weeks before engaging in sexual activity so the body can fully heal.

No,you can't because the woman is bleeding everyday for five weeks. You can get pregnant 10 weeks(2 months) after giving birth.

Theoretically, yes. However, it is very rare for a woman to conceive so soon after giving birth, especially if nursing.

It is extremely uncommon, but fully possible to get pregnant 5 weeks after giving birth. Doctors recommend waiting 6 weeks for healing, but it's not mandatory. Every woman's system is different; while some women may not be fertile for months, some may be fertile after just a couple of weeks.
