You can get pregnant at any time after having your baby. You're extra fertile the first eight weeks after birth. You could have a placental hemmorhage, maybe some old blood, possibly a miscarriage. I would call your OB or midwife ASAP, just to get checked out.
your fertility is up massively after having a child. I think 6-8 weeks after you deliver. Making you alot more succeptable to getting pregnant again. That and there have been plenty of women to have a period or two during pregnancy. For some, they even may have a period the entire time they're pregnant. If you took two home pregnancy tests, and they came up positive, I would def. be setting up a doctors apt and having a bloodtest done. GL!
Call. I have had periods through all of my pregnancies up until the 5 month mark with a few. You are much more fertile straight after you give birth. You need to get the doc to check you're not miscarrying too.
