Q. Can I get my wife pregnant four months after our baby delivery?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
It is possible for a woman to get pregnant four months after delivery, but it is not common. The average time for a woman to ovulate after delivery is six to eight weeks. However, some women ovulate as early as four weeks postpartum. In order for pregnancy to occur, the egg must be fertilized by sperm within 24 hours of ovulation. Therefore, if a woman ovulates four weeks postpartum and has intercourse during that time frame, there is a chance she could become pregnant. However, it is important to note that the likelihood of becoming pregnant so soon after delivery is relatively low. Additionally, many women experience irregular menstrual cycles in the first few months postpartum, making it difficult to predict when ovulation will occur. As a result, couples who are trying to conceive should speak with their healthcare provider about the best time to start trying.
