I just had my son two months ago. I just had unprotected sex on 5 days ago. Ever since I've been getting sick. Could this possibly mean that I am pregnant again? And what are the chances of getting pregnant two months after giving birth?

Chances of becoming pregnant soon after giving birth go up if you are not breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding offers a fair amount of protection, but even that is not 100%. Some women are surprised to find themselves pregnant again even if they have not started their periods back.
Having symptoms of nausea that soon would not be the norm however, even if you were pregnant right away. See how you feel over the next several days... obviously there can be several reasons for feeling sick. If you have resumed your periods already, see what happens when the next one is due (although they can be irregular the first few cycles for some women).

I've known a few people who've gotten pregnant shortly after giving birth. Even those who were breastfeeding and it was to their utmost surprise. So be sure to look into it and don't just excuse the idea.

I've also ready that pregnancy symptoms can occur within days of conception... some women are more intuned with their bodies and feel it's changed and phases while others might not even have a symptom until their
2nd trimester. You just had a baby so your body is naturally going to be more sensitive.

Yes you could be pregnant again if you think you might be it would be a wise decision to get a pregnancy test to make sure. If you are not pregnant and this is the first time you have gotton sick after sex it just might be the preasure of everything expesically since you are a new mom
