Have you ever heard the old saying that "...once you've had a baby; if you stand within ten feet of a man you will get pregnant again!"

The answer to your question is "YES!" That is why women are prescribed birth control upon discharge.

yes i know there is birth control... but I mean.. when I was bleeding it wasnt my period.. it was from the baby.. so how could I have an egg if i havent gotten my period yet?

I'm a critical care, ER and HIV/AIDS nurse. You need to talk to your OB/GYN doctor. Good luck!

you release an egg 14 days before you bleed, you dont bleed before the egg is released.

it is the mechanism of egg release and the egg not being fertilised that means the thinckened endometrium is expeled as a bleed approx 14 days after ovulation.... if you got pregnant at this time you wouldnt neccessarily be aware of it as the egg would be fertilised andyou wouldnt bleed.

because fertility takes varying lengths of time to return after the birth of a baby and how much you breast feed some women have delayed fertility to 6 months, where as other can return within a month or 2.

the best way of finding out if your pregnant again is to do a test.

depending on the type of contraception you are using it should be commenced before sexual intercourse takes place or other precautions should be used until its safe to use your chosen method.

good luck
