Brief Answer:
Please take a pregnancy test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
First you need to know if she is pregnant.
So please take a pregnancy test tomorrow morning, and then let me know the result.
I will then guide you accordingly.
Also, even if her periods have not resumed after the childbirth, you should still be using protection if you wish to avoid an unintended pregnancy.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
