If baby is feeding regularly and frequently, having only breastmilk, NO water or formula and if mum has not had a period yet it is really unlikely that you will fall pregnant. But not impossible. There is some detailed information about natural birth control in the first 6 months after baby is born available here. Do consider using condoms or the mini-pill (this only contains progesterone, so is considered safe in mums who are breastfeeding) if you don’t meet all the conditions. The World Health Organisation recommends that you wait at least 18 months before becoming pregnant again, to reduce risks to mum and baby, but it is always your choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1557792798917-RI90GZZ86XI0DEI7K8OW/Newborn.jpg Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Sex after baby is born--the first two months - Man to man Your beautiful, powerful woman may have just done the equivalent of several marathons pushing her baby out. She may need to rest for a while. She may have just donated one to two units of blood to the sheets and floor. Bleeding may go on for four to six weeks. It will change from the fresh red stuff to brown. It will smell. There may be some surgical thread holding her vagina together if she had a tear or an episiotomy (a fancy word for taking a pair of scissors and making the vaginal opening that little bit bigger). If she had an epidural, it made her legs feel like jelly and she may have needed a catheter to stop her bladder swelling to the size of a watermelon. If she is breast feeding, that milk is for the baby. There should be plenty of cold stuff from a cow in the fridge and if you feel like some warm stuff try the microwave. If you squeeze her breasts like before you may get squirted in the eye. It’s okay to wait.

Not just physically, but are you emotionally comfortable? Some people find their sex drive is super charged during pregnancy, some find it is super low and others find it changes during the pregnancy Sex should always be something you both agree to Sex doesn’t have to be penis-in-vagina/penetrative sex. Other forms of physical affection, such as massage, cuddling or creative intimacy may be more suitable As baby gets larger, you may need to change your usual position/s or activity Some women do report a painful tightening of their uterus with orgasm, similar to a Braxton Hicks contraction. If this happens to you, stay calm, relax, it will pass There are some reports that a chemical in semen may trigger labour. I have to say, I’ve known lots of women with overdue babies who tried sex for that reason and it didn’t help! Do prepare for major changes to your sex life after baby is born. Physical, hormonal and emotional changes, along with exhaustion, all take their toll on the sex drive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1554615702917-SMA5UN6CP6MZYBYZ34HT/Pregnant+couple.jpeg Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Relax, it is (almost always) ok to enjoy sex during pregnancy - Did having sex harm baby, cause my miscarriage or trigger the premature birth of my baby? No!* Having sex is not known to harm babies, cause miscarriages or lead to premature babies in a normal, low risk pregnancy Some couples worry that sex will hurt their baby. For contact to occur, the penis would have to get through the cervix before reaching baby inside the uterus. This would not happen unless the cervix is dilated and baby’s head is coming into the vagina. This happens during labour and is not the time most couples are having sex…. Sex during labour is not recommended Please know that baby is really well protected by the thick, muscular wall of the uterus and the fluid that surrounds baby which is enclosed in the amniotic sac, or membranes As mentioned above, sex can be risky in the following circumstances: *If you are bleeding *If you have a short cervix or a stitch (cerclage)—you should take the advice of your midwife or doctor but usually sex, even orgasm via masturbation, is not recommended. Ditto for a very low lying placenta *If your membranes have ruptured/your waters have broken, sex is not recommended https://maternity-matters.com.au/brisbane-pregnancy-and-babies/2019/02/17/vaccinationfactsandfiction monthly 0.5 2024-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1550569880010-H7IQCCLXR719D48PQHB6/sick.jpg Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Vaccination facts and fiction - Are vaccines really safe?

Some infections are very strong and despite having some protection from the vaccine, it may not be enough Sometimes a new type of infection emerges. The classic for this is influenza — it is a seriously successful virus, which changes very easily and unfortunately, if it changes enough, any protection we may have had from the vaccine no longer helps Some people don’t get protection from a vaccine and we don’t really know why that is the case or how to check—sometimes blood tests help e.g. Rubella and sometimes they don’t e.g. Chicken pox https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1550397928363-B64LCXF90RUVGS3G76NY/Screen+Shot+2019-02-17+at+5.15.17+pm.png Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Vaccination facts and fiction Full infographic and further information available here https://maternity-matters.com.au/brisbane-pregnancy-and-babies/2019/01/06/tongue-tie-99st2 monthly 0.5 2025-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1546737898019-E9R86EEV6PDK8XTD65MA/Screen+Shot+2019-01-05+at+3.54.54+pm.png Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Tongue-tie - Is tongue-tie under diagnosed or over diagnosed?

It depends who you ask Classic tongue-tie has the following characteristics: The tongue is tethered to the base of the mouth by a band of tissue which runs towards the tip of the tongue The tongue can’t reach the inside of the lips This may cause issues with breast feeding, dental care and how words sound It does not cause speech delay Even if there is a “notch” in the tip of the tongue (see image) it may not affect how the tongue works The natural, elastic tissue may stretch over time and “fix” itself It is not how it looks, it is how it works that matters https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1546672735597-8BVILRYLW5OKI60BHLZ8/Breastfeeding Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Tongue-tie - If not tongue-tie, then what?! Many of the babies who are thought to have tongue-tie are struggling with unrecognised feeding issues It is a very difficult space for everyone, including healthcare professionals, trying to work out why babies fuss during a feed Breastfeeding should not cause pain for you or baby Position is very important — if you and baby fit together well and baby is securely held, feeding is much easier The information on this site is not specific to your individual situation and it is important that you find a suitable health care professional who has the knowledge or the contacts to point you in the right direction Any assessment of fussy behaviour during infant feeds starts with listening and then with looking. In other words, taking a history followed by an examination of baby and observation of a feed. This takes time There is an increasing recognition among midwives, lactation consultants, early childhood nurses, GPs, obstetricians and paediatricians that tongue-tie is a solution to only a very small number of fussy feeders https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1601709093602-N6AFDYSFO87VVWRQHBR5/Screen+Shot+2020-10-03+at+5.01.12+pm.png Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Tongue-tie Source https://maternity-matters.com.au/brisbane-pregnancy-and-babies/2019/01/06/tongue-tie-99st2-lblxs monthly 0.5 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1546737898019-E9R86EEV6PDK8XTD65MA/Screen+Shot+2019-01-05+at+3.54.54+pm.png Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Tongue-tie for clinicians - Is tongue-tie under diagnosed or over diagnosed?

Information is power There is a lot of stuff to get your head around Classes let you learn in a calm, controlled way In class you can take notes, ask questions, think and follow up If you have not received education about what is happening during birth, it can be very scary Trying to understand what is happening and what your choices are during labour is very difficult https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0a8292b98a78f464bc01f3/1543639437573-BG893H9ZJR5VE63P6CT0/Shoes Brisbane Pregnancy and babies - Antenatal education - It’s more than physical Financial information is available from Money Smart Practical information Raising Children Emotional aspects COPE Free e-newsletter on emotional and mental wellbeing during and after pregnancy Ready to Cope Need to phone someone?

You need to be careful as this affects your balance and can increase your risk of falls ~You will find that you are more short of breath as the uterus gets bigger and puts pressure on your diaphragm, which affects the way you breathe. This is worse if you are also anaemic. You will have to change your workout to adapt to the new reality! Keep your fluid intake up!
