	Answer by Dr.Bhumika Aggarwal (doctor) on Sat 26, Jul 2008 08:55pm: Hi, I am glad that you asked this question here and we will be happy to answer it for you. I think that is a possibility. Usually nursing mothers do not get pregnant for the first 5-6 months due to the body s natural hormonal control. Since you have crossed that mark and have some symptoms too, I would recommend that you may try and get this analysed. Having a pregnancy in such a short interval may be a real stretch on you and your child. I think you should take precautions while in an encounter and maintain a gap of atleast 3 years in your present and next child. Hope this helped.
