am i pregnant or is it something else?

[babii20]

hello everyone,
so i am 20 and i just had a baby november 9th 2010. and i am feeling the same pregnancy symptoms again, my stomach is cramping, i feel nauseated all the time, my boobs are sore, and i dont feel like i am losing any weight. but the only thing that threw me off, was that i had my period last month, but it only lasted 4-5 days and it mostly last like 7 days. Im not on any birth control and I haven't taken a home pregnancy test. Do you guys think it's possible for me to be pregnant or is it something else?
thank you for your time, all answers are welcome :) !

You could be pregnant,especially if you had sex within 6 weeks after having your baby.Your cervix was still open and you could have concieved during that time.If your taking preg tests and their negative,it could be that while your hcg levels are trying rise,they are also trying to drop because of your recent birth.Also,keep in mind that after you have a baby,your periods change from consistancy and amount of days.Hope this helps.

Hi!
It is possible to be pregnant again, and I would recommend taking a pregnancy test!
It is also common to notice lots of hormonal fluctuations for 12-18 months after a baby is born. Hope this helps!
