Answer
Hello, I would like to answer the question: "Can you get pregnant after having sex 2 months after giving birth? ” as follows: Normally, a mother should abstain from intercourse after normal delivery for at least 6 weeks and after cesarean section for at least 3 months to ensure safety. However, the specific time for each couple depends on the health status of the woman and the couple's psychology after giving birth. Your wife has given birth for more than 2 months, if it is a natural birth, it is completely possible to have a husband and wife life if your body and mind are ready. If you have a cesarean section, you should wait at least 3 months for a woman's body to fully recover. Having sex after giving birth with internal ejaculation even if you have not had your period again, you can still get pregnant, even if you have just given birth. Because it is difficult to determine exactly when your wife will get pregnant again after giving birth. If your period starts to return (about 6 weeks postpartum), your wife is likely to be pregnant again. Therefore, if you have sex at the right time of ovulation, your wife's pregnancy rate will be very high. If you have sex without contraception or have failed contraception, you should use emergency contraception within 72 hours. (3 days). Preferably within 24 hours of intercourse - the period when the pill will be most effective. In your wife's case it is advisable to take emergency pregnancy medicine for lactation, breastfeeding can be used. Use the active form of levonorgestrel, Postinor 1 or Postinor 2, without fear of affecting the baby. However, emergency contraception should only be used in cases where it is absolutely necessary. Should not be abused regularly, instead, you can actively prevent pregnancy by methods such as:
Using condoms Inserting IUDs Implanting contraceptives Using birth control pills Each method of contraception has its advantages and disadvantages. There are certain downsides so one method may work for one person but will not be suitable for another. Depending on the health status and circumstances of each person, it is advisable to choose the most suitable method of postpartum contraception. You can go to the nearest medical facility or the Hospital of Vinmec Health System to be visited by doctors. more detailed examination and consultation. Best regards!
