Yes I do actually, my friend had a baby boy in late july and her daughter early july the next year. Not sure if that comes to 10 weeks but it's close.

I have a relative who got pregnant 6 weeks after delivery.... it was not planned. It is definitely possible, not advisable by an OB, they usually recommend waiting a whole year, to give your body time to heal. I have a 10 month old dd, I got pregnant last month but miscarried. I'm still ttc again.

Never rely on breastfeeding as a form of birth control. Many women get pregnant while nursing. Basically, depending on the woman you will begin ovulating again sometime and then you have your first period. Since you never know when that month will happen you could ovulate and become pregnant then of course you would never get that first period. So yes many women are very fertile after giving birth.

alot of people that i know have gotten pg right after having a baby, especially if your not taking anything to prevent it, the best thing you should do is buy a test and take it to see if you are or not pg, because if you are pg, your taking away the nutrients from your unborn child,

my best friend fell pg within a month after she had her son, she didnt think she could get pg as quick again(dont know why she thought this lol) and her due date was exactly 40 weeks after her sons birth! take a hpt just to make sure either way

There are some good low hormone birth control pills available for women who are breastfeeding if you are not preggo and want to prevent.
