Continuing to nurse when pregnant

My baby is 16 weeks old.  I think I might be pregnant (its just a feeling I have...).  If I am, I still want to keep nursing him.  Has anyone nursed while pregnant?  What happens to your supply?

Thanks for the input.

Re: Continuing to nurse when pregnant

  • some moms notice a difference and some don't. usually the first thing you notice is nipple sensitivity. Unless you have high risk pregnancy you should be fine nursing through pregnancy.

  • I found out I was pregnant when my son was 4 months old. I nursed my first throughout my entire pregnancy and currently nurse both my one year old and newborn.  My supply did drop around 20 weeks, when I was put on a prescription (reglan) to keep it from dropping to quickly (if that makes an sense). I did not have to supplement at all. I had enough frozen milk to make it to a year.

    Thanks.  I haven't been pumping much, so I don't have much of a stash.  I hope I don't have a problem with my supply.  For that matter, i hope I'm not pregnant!
