? for those of you currently pregnant. (AF and BF)

So a couple of maybe dumb questions for you ladies, just out of curiosity. 

Did AF show up for you, or did you get pregnant without AF?

Are you still breastfeeding LO#1 while pregnant with #2?

 TIA

    I'm not pregnant yet but I do know that you can get pregnant without AF even showing up once. I have heard some moms can still successfully BF for part of their pregnancy (not sure if all of it) but most I think find that their supply drops due to the hormone changes.

    Hepcats is right, you can get KU without AF.  I, however, got AF back in Sept.

    I don't BF

    I got pg without the return of AF.  I also still EBF (with solids) and feel like my supply is dropping already but am getting in touch with a local LC to do a weighed feeding to see if it's all in my head. 

    And a side-note, I can't stop eating.  The pregnancy plus BF is making me feel like I'm starving all the time.  I helped myself to a lot of spaghetti tonight and told DH I'm eating for 3 Wink

    Some women do BF throughout their pregnancy and go on to tandem nurse. (nurse their new baby and toddler)

    My supply tanked in October so I switched to formula. My period came back in November. We got pregnant the following cycle.

    I stopped breastfeeding because my obgyn recommended I stop because of the risks of contracting early etc...

    I'm curious as well.  I have heard that your supply may drop, but not that you should stop because of PTL.
