Breastfeeding, Pregnancy, and Weaning/supply

Ok, all you moms who breastfed and then got pregnant while the baby was under 1yr... Can you give your experience/advice? DD is 17mos (formula fed, so it didn't matter), DS is 4mos (exclusively breastfed), and we are planning to 'try' again (or not not try) come Feb or March - he'll be 6 or 7 mos. (I got my cycle back at 2mos - not thrilled about that - and I get pregnant REALLY easily.) My goal is to nurse DS till 1yr, but if I get pregnant when I'd like to, I'll at least be in/through the 1st Tri while still nursing. I don't have a huge supply, and I'm afraid I'll dry up before DS is 1, or at least have to supplement. What do you think?

    My milk dried up around 20 weeks. I would wait until your baby is one year. I'm in the same position. I want to get pregnant again also, but it's more important to feed the baby you have now and wait until your body is really ready.

    Ok, kinda what I expected. :-/  I'd heard that supply goes way down 2nd trimester, and it sounds like that's what you all experienced. Going to have to think on this... Thanks for helping!!
