What are the symptoms of pregnancy while breastfeeding?
Still feeding my first one who is 10 months, periods havent come back properly. Feeling a bit off lately and wondering if i could be pregnant again. how do u even tell when ur nursing? pls share ur experience.
Yes, my mother told me that if the breastfeeding baby suddenly gets fussy or doesn't want to drink milk, it might be because a new pregnancy has started. She helped me notice my extreme tiredness and encouraged me to test. It really helps to have family support during such times.
With my PCOS history, my periods were already so irregular, so I didn't even notice at first. But when my baby started refusing to nurse and I felt slight nausea, I suspected something. Don't assume you can't get pregnant while breastfeeding, it's better to test early.
I have seen many moms here post about this! The key signs are sore nipples while nursing, a sudden decrease in your breastmilk supply, and mild morning sickness. Don't worry, many moms breastfeed safely during pregnancy, but do consult your gynac once to guide you.
When I got pregnant again while breastfeeding my first, I felt this extreme, unusual fatigue that was different from normal tiredness. My nipples also became incredibly sensitive and it actually hurt when my baby tried to latch. I felt so emotional trying to manage both.
Usually, your milk supply might suddenly drop, or your baby might reject the milk because the taste changes during pregnancy. To manage the breast soreness, you can try applying a warm compress. But if you have any cramping or severe weakness, please ask your doctor immediately.
Oh, look out for sudden breast tenderness and feeling super tired all the time! 😴 Also, your little one might make a funny face while nursing because the milk flavor changes. If you suspect anything, just take a quick home test to know! ✨
The most common signs are sudden nipple tenderness, drop in milk production, and a late or missed period. Since breastfeeding can sometimes delay your cycle anyway, don't rely only on calendar dates. Just do a home urine pregnancy test to be absolutely sure.
