my sis in law told me that from my 8th month on i can become pregnant again if i dont use protection. that sounds impossible. is it true?

I've never heard of that. I don't think so. Did she say how, or where she got this from?

Definitely not possible at all!! So no need to worry whatsoever!

Impossible! Some people think having sex will make your labor start (something in semen that softens the cervix), and you shouldn't have sex once your water breaks because of the risk of infection, but you can't get pregnant while you're already pregnant. After you have your baby, though, you need to start using protection right away...there's no telling when you will ovulate, since you won't have a period first, and breastfeeding doesn't protect 100% against pregnancy. Most docs will ask what kind of birth control you want at your 6 week checkup...if you think you will be having sex sooner than that, you can ask the doc for birth control before you're discharged from the hospital.

Your SIL is quite uneducated. That is sad. You cannot get pg at this point. Not until after the baby is born and you will then start to ovulate again. You can get pg immediately after you have your baby, even before you have a period, so you will want to use protection then.
