pregnant while breastfeeding

Amoré

A few months ago I went to the dr for an unrelated matter, but I asked about getting pregnant while breastfeeding. He told me "if you want to get pregnant you'll have to stop breastfeeding. you won't get pregnant while breastfeeding."

needless to say, I was devastated. I really wanted my children close in age and I was also not at all ready to stop breastfeeding, neither is my 1 year old (then 10 month old).

I am now 5 weeks 5 days pregnant and still breastfeeding 4+ times a day.

I want to post this for all the breastfeeding mommies that are ttc. it is possible. don't give up. and if you're not ready to stop breastfeeding, trust your instincts.

baby dust to everyone ttc
