Probability of pregnancy during lactation

Most women who are breastfeeding have already had sex. With the full opening of the two-child policy, it is very common for women to become pregnant during breastfeeding. In life, some women mistakenly believe that since they do not have menstruation during breastfeeding, sexual intercourse usually will not lead to pregnancy. In fact, this statement is wrong. Although they do not have menstruation during breastfeeding, they will ovulate. They need to pay attention to contraception when having sex during breastfeeding.

Can I have a baby if I am pregnant while breastfeeding?

1. The breastfeeding mother becomes pregnant before her body has recovered, and the embryo has already implanted in the uterus. At this time, the various organs and tissues of the female body have not yet recovered, especially the uterus, which has not healed from old injuries. It is easy to cause accidents during delivery and cause difficult-to-heal damage to the recovery of the female uterus.

2. The body nutrition of a breastfeeding mother is not enough to meet the nutrition needed for pregnancy. Pregnancy at this time will not only cause malnutrition of the fetus, but also make the body of the pregnant mother weaker, reduce her body resistance, and increase the risk of postpartum hemorrhage and infection for the fetus and the pregnant mother.

3. Pregnancy during breastfeeding will reduce or even stop breast milk secretion. In this way, the newborn will not get enough breast milk, and the pregnant woman will have to divide her attention to take care of the newborn, which will make the pregnant mother exhausted and prone to miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy.

What are the symptoms of pregnancy during breastfeeding

Pregnancy during breastfeeding will cause common early pregnancy symptoms, such as amenorrhea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, mild abdominal distension, increased secretions, etc. However, you cannot judge whether you are pregnant based on these symptoms. If menstruation has not come for more than a week, you can do a blood HCG test or a test strip test to confirm whether you are pregnant.

During the breastfeeding period, the mother's uterus has not fully recovered, especially for women who have had a caesarean section. The belly may burst, which is very dangerous. If you are not particularly reluctant, it is recommended not to have this child. In addition, the milk will stop after pregnancy during the breastfeeding period, which is not good for the development of the first baby.
