    I'm so sorry the Dr scared you.
    I fed DD1 all the way through DD2s pregnancy and am still feeding DD2 now, in fact she fed all through the night untill about 10days ago.

    Your doctor is misinformed. When my midwife found out I was still feeding, she nearly jumped out of her chair with excitement. I'm 19w5d, and with a past miscarriage under my belt.

    Congratulations!

    I can't believe a Dr would say something like that when it's not even true!

    It's definitely ok to BF while pregnant. I BF DD1 all through my pregnancy with DD2

    Woo hoo Jules i'm so excited for you!!!

    I was still feeding DS2 when i fell pregnant with DD. I continued to feed up until i was around the 3 month mark and probably a few more feeds than what your DS is doing at the moment.

    I have no idea of the facts in this but it sounds like you've recived some pretty consistant 'not trues'. I wish you all the best for the months ahead and hope you are feeling well xoox

    Nope not true I fed DD throughout the whole pregnancy and DD was 8mths when I got pregnant and feeding frequently (1-2hrly at times).
