Breastfeeding aversion in early pregnancy

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and my DS is 14 months old. I'm still breastfeeding him and had intended to let him wean himself when he was ready. But since falling pregnant I've developed a breastfeeding aversion and really really don't enjoy feeding him any more. Like, it makes me feel angry and disgusted and then I feel really guilty afterwards because the poor little thing just wants his milk as usual. He's not even feeding that much, never more than 3 times a day really. All I can think about is weaning him but everything I read about the issue basically encourages you to 'grin and bear it' and lists all the benefits of continuing to breastfeed. I would never have thought of weaning him this early and will probably continue to feed my new baby for longer. Feel so guilty and kind of trapped. Anyone else had a similar experience?

A lot of people feel this way op. It's perfectly ok to stop when you're ready. You've done it for 14 months! That's amazing! You have nothing to feel guilty about.
