Question: is it safe to get pregnant 1 month after giving birth?
Answer: For each month between pregnancies longer than five years, the risk for these adverse outcomes increased by 0.6% to 0.9%. "After birth, the recommended interval to next pregnancy is at least 18 months and no longer than 60 months in order to reduce the risk of adverse [birth] outcomes," Conde-Agudelo tells WebMD.
