Hi,
I understand your concern.
Actually pull out method, there are chances of pregnancy ,because even precum has few sperms which can cause pregnancy.
In your case you have 3 months old baby, must be breast feeding- while mother breast feeds her baby absolutely ,periods are irregular/ not present. because of suppressed ovulation . This gives a natural contraception during lactation.
I feel this is the case with you. Still it will be on safer side,
- to get blood HCG test done next month.
- To start using regular contraceptives With your doctor's advise.
Thanks
