I have heard that your chances of conceiving again, after having carried a baby to full term, are increased.
The reasons why, I have had more difficulty finding, but have heard that it has something to do with your body being "familiarized" to pregnancy.
I was just wondering if this is true or not?
And if anyone could further enlighten me with the facts surrounding it.
Thanks =)
its not that your body is used to pregnancy, it is that your body is still producing hormones higher than normal so in the months to year after a full term pregnancy the hormones make it easier to get pregnant

i have been told it is easier to get pregnant in the months after you conceive a child because of increased hormone levels. but that doesnt mean its easier in general after you have had a child. i know plenty of ppl that say that they conceived quickly with the first and the second took months of planning and trying before it took.

Like others have said, it's the increased hormone levels. Although, if you mean conceiving within the first couple of mths after giving birth, that is because your cervix is still wide open and gradually closes within the first 6wks postpartum.
