Has anyone here got pregnant while breastfeeding and continued to breastfeed throughout your pregnancy? We want to start trying to conceive in march but my 1 year old is showing no signs of slowing down on nursing. How did it go once baby was born? Did you tandem nurse? Did your doctor/OB pressure you to wean? Any contractions during let down?

My son is older but I got pregnant while nursing. I didn’t think he would stop anytime soon. It was at the end of 1st trimester I gradually dried up. He used to nurse to sleep and then all of a sudden stopped. After not getting any out he realized there was no reason to continue. I’m so glad honestly I was having morning sickness and miserably touched out. It helped me mentally and he gained a healthy bedtime routine.

My son was a little over 2 but nursing consistently when I got pregnant and weaned himself naturally a few months into the pregnancy. It was easy. I was prepared to tandem nurse but didn’t need to. I’ve heard this happen to a few people. I think is because the milk changes again to colostrum. The same thing happened when I got pregnant when my daughter was close to 2 years old
