Patient's question:
Will I get pregnant if I have sex for the first time after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
Women who have not been postpartum for less than thirty days may have already restored their ovulation function. However, some women may have a normal menstrual cycle, while others may not have their period. If a postpartum woman has already resumed menstruation, her ovulation function will also be normal and regular during this period. If she engages in sexual activity without protection during this time, she may become pregnant. If the mother's body has not fully recovered or she does not plan to have a second or third child, it is recommended to take emergency contraception within 72 hours of sexual activity to avoid an unintended pregnancy. Additionally, after taking the medication, it is necessary to pause breastfeeding for one week, as this may otherwise affect the baby's development.
