How for breastfeeding while pregnant make you feel?

[Bets2801]

I just found out yesterday that I’m pregnant and also have a 9 month old! Baby 2 was in the plans but this was a little earlier than expected haha. I’d love to keep breastfeeding but have seen mixed things..some saying it can make you feel like death others it can actually reduce morning sickness overall?

I’d love to keep going till she’s 1 at least so would be 3 months pregnant when stopping but obviously it’s the time you feel the worst and I’m back to work also! She still doesn’t sleep either so I might even try night weaning off the breast (give bottle if she needs) but still day feed so I can get a little rest later when I need it!

Just realised typo ..how DID breastfeeding make you feel, not woken up yet!

I felt fine-tbh I did have a little bit of morning sickness but no way of knowing if I would have felt that anyway. I tandem fed for about a year after. I think my older child would have felt pushed out if the baby had arrived and breastfeeding for him stopped so that’s one of the reasons I carried on after too.

DC1 was 14 months when I conceived DC2. I had been winding down anyway and stopped entirely by the time I was about 8 weeks I think.

It didn't physically feel any different but I had a really strong feeling of wanting feeding both my babies to be totally separate. For DC2 to have the same dedicated and exclusive use of me from that point of view as DC2 had had so I wanted a clear break between finishing feeding him and starting feeding her.

Totally just a personal experience, please don't think I'm in any way suggesting there's anything wrong with continuing all the way to tandem feeding. But it wasn't for me.

It was very painful in the first trimester. I stopped in the end but my DS was older.

I found out I was pregnant when ds was 11months. My supply massively dropped and ds self weaned within about 4 weeks. Up until this we were breastfeeding happily up to 4 times a day. Plenty of mums seem to breastfeed with no issues throughout pregnancy but not In my case sadly.
