Pregnant again?

Hi
I have a 4 month old baby (fully breast fed). On 10 Jan I got my first period since his csection birth.  I have not had a period since. I've started having strong hunger pains (which turned into morning sickness last time). Did a preg test late arvo today which was neg. Could I be pregnant again?

Period has finally arrived! Guess I am very out of sync...

Great thanks girls. I might wait a bit longer before seeing the dr... I've only had the one period since having bubs, so maybe I'm just out of routine.

I agree, your cycles may not be normal for a while bc BF. Some people feel like AF is coming but then it doesn't while BF

Can't say I personally have. I would see a doctor and request a blood test. I do know that while breastfeeding your cycles might be quite irregular for some time. Good luck.

Has anyone experienced this? Don't know whether to wait it out, buy another test or see dr?

I've also just started having bad pain in my right side. Kinda like a stitch.

Still no sign of my period. I retested Tuesday morning - negative. Could it just be that my cycles are not back to normal or should I be worried?

There is an increased risk of placental abruption if  you get pregnant within one year of having a baby. This can cause hemmoraging in you and it can cause fetal death. I am not sure about any specific dangers after a csection as I don't know much about csections

Thanks!
Do you think it would be dangerous to be pregnant again so soon after a csection? Still no sign of my period... How many days would you go b4 re testing?

I would say yes you could be pregnant or it could be hunger from your child eating more which increases your supply and makes you hungry.

I would test again in a week if you still think pregnancy.
