Hi and thanks for using the forum.
It is certainly possible to get pregnant again after you have your baby. Are you using any birth control? It is not uncommon for your periods to be irregular after having a baby, but the only way to know for sure if you are pregant or not is to take a test. If you are expecting your period and should have had it by now, then it should be OK for you to take a home pregnancy test to find out. If the test is positive, then schedule an appointment with your OB/GYN to start some prenatal care. IF the test is negative, you can wait and see what is going on. Generally we recommend that you test weekly once you have missed your period until you either get a positive test or you get your period. Also, if your test is negative and you are not looking to have a new addition to your family just yet, then you should discuss birth control options with your doctor. Good luck.
