I am currently breastfeeding my 10 1/2 month old and am about 6 weeks pregnant with baby #2. Anyone else a breastfeeding mom in the first tri??
I have heard an old wives tale that breastfeeding helps to alleviate morning sickness, and although it might just be coincidental, I haven't had a hint of sickness at all yet or any symptom of pregnancy really. With my daughter I was incapacitated with sickness and exhaustion for pretty much my entire pregnancy starting at 4 weeks along, so I am a bit shocked to be feeling so good! I know the sickness can still come, but for now I am going to ride this wave of feeling good! I actually took another pregnancy test this morning just to confirm that I am still pregnant, and it was positive, lol.
My biggest fears about breastfeeding while pregnant are developing a nursing aversion, and losing my milk supply. I am hoping to at least make it to a year before my milk dries up (which I think usually happens somewhere in the second tri), but I would love to be able to feed my daughter at least until she is two. If my milk dries up I think it will be all over for us though, because she is not a comfort nurser so I really don't see her dry nursing until my milk comes back.
Has anyone suffered from nursing aversion yet? I've heard it's awful, but so far I have been fine. How are you coping if you have aversion??
