Yes, if she can get pregnant even when she is feeding.. Get a preganancy test.

Brief Answer:
Hi

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..

First I would like to know whether you have confirmed the pregnancy with urine pregnancy test.. If not, get a pregnancy test..


You can get a medical abortion done if the period of pregnancy is less than 7 weeks.. So get a scan done to see for intrauterine pregnancy.. If its less than 7 weeks, medicines are available to abort the pregnancy.. but it should be taken only under the direct supervision of a gynaecologist..


Hope i have answered your query.. feel free to ask any query.. Good day..

Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

If early morning urine sample shows negative result, may be you can wait for 1 more week.. But to confirm pregnancy, there a blood test available B hcg which detects pregnancy prior to urine pregnancy test..

Or else you can wait for 1 week to get spontaneous periods..

Hope i have answered your query.. Good day..
