How long after having a baby?

Question

Do you stop being at your "most fertile"? I fell within 3 months of my first born, my second is 5 months now. I know you're more fertile after childbirth, but for how much?

Answer 1

Proud Mummy- why would she need birth control?? She is HAPPY to have her two beautiful bubbies. What's your problem... jealous?

But to answer the question, I think women are more fertile round a certain age, like probably early 20's or something. But if you're having success at any other age then congrats!

Answer 2

My wife fell pregnant with twins when our then youngest was 5 months old, our twins are now 10 months and the only reason we still make love is because i had a vasectomy.

My wife was told you're highly fertile for about year after giving birth.

If people are happy to have babies close together what business is it to anyone else? If you're old enough to have s*x you're old enough to use protection.

Answer 3

I would go with Ms S the first 6 months after baby is born is the most fertile, so you might want to go with the cork until then Lmfao.x

Answer 5

Answer 6

Good question, to be honest, I think it's the individual, it varies, but normally it's 6 months after a baby when everything goes bk into place...
