Breastfeeding while pregnant and VERY sore boobs!

[Brieanna]

Since before dd was born I always knew I was going to try and breastfeed until she self-weaned. I was incredibly lucky with good supply, no latch problems, supportive OH etc.

After ttc again since doctor said it was ok and having a mc I am pregnant again but my boobs are SOOOO sore. I cringe when she nurses and it hurts so bad. I have tried everything that I used when she was newborn, but nothing works because it's really not the same pain, iykwim?

Does anyone have any experience or advice? I really do not want to give up bfing.

Thanks!

Hey hon, congrats on your pregnancy! I don't have any advice but for me the pain didn't last long, definitely not into 2nd tri xx

I nursed for 7 weeks of pregnancy before miscarrying last summer. I've heard the first tri is usually the hardest and that it does usually get easier. Unfortunately pregnancy can cause your supply to decrease or even dry up completely, some toddlers don't mind at all the change in the milk and others unfortunately wean. Persevere and good job on the 2+ years you've done!
