Hi welcome to Healthcaremagic


Upto 6 weeks after delivery there will be lactational amenorrhea , hence there is less chances of getting pregnant, because of high level of prolactin level...... but you are at 6 weeks of post delivery if you are still breast feeding the baby then pregnancy will not occur, if stopped, then do an UPT( urine pregnancy test ) to avoid pregnancy...
