Getting Pregnant After Childbirth: Early Ovulation & Conception

It's possible to get pregnant again even before your first postpartum period. This is because it is possible to ovulate -- and therefore conceive -- before you get your period again after having a baby. And it's possible to ovulate without having a period.

A woman can get pregnant during the two days before ovulation, on the day of ovulation, and up to five days after ovulation. So if you have unprotected sex on any of those days, you could get pregnant, even if you're breastfeeding or haven't had a period since giving birth.
