After having a baby, you don't have a period, you have what is called lochia. Lochia is when the built-up womb lining breaks down after the baby is born because it is no longer needed. Because there is such a huge amount of womb-lining to break down, there is quite a lot of blood and it can last a while. Generally, there is less bleeding if you have a vaginal birth because a lot of the blood gets squeezed out with the baby, but in a caesarean it doesn't. Lochia can last around a month, although for some people it only lasts about 2 weeks

Yes! as long as it is in that period of a woman's fertility cycle where she is ovulating and she doesn't have to have had her first period yet either. Same after having a baby - she can get pregnant right away, again without having a period. The fertility cycle comes before the period.
