Can we breastfeed during pregnancy?

Question

I have a toddler who is still breastfeeding, and I've just found out I'm pregnant again. Is it generally considered safe to continue breastfeeding while pregnant?

Since my pregnancy was precious IVF, my doctor advised me to be very careful with anything that could cause uterine contractions. Please consult your doctor to see what is safe for your specific body.

Actually you can breastfeed, but yaar, it can sometimes trigger minor contractions because of oxytocin. You should definitely check with your gynac once if your pregnancy is high-risk.

Yes, many moms do it successfully! Just make sure you are eating enough nutritious food to support both the toddler and the growing baby inside.

Honestly, just the thought of feeding a toddler while carrying a heavy 3rd-trimester belly makes me want to take a 10-hour nap! It is possible, but hats off to your energy levels if you do it.

I read on my pregnancy app that breastfeeding during pregnancy is generally safe unless you have a history of preterm labor. Keep tracking your hydration and caloric intake because your body is feeding two now.
