    Congratualtions. I am pg and bfeeding but probably bot too much help for you at this stage as i am only 5weeks myself. One thing i have noticed this time is that my boobs arent as sore, i remember with ds they were huge and sore straight away. I am tired and have insomnia too lol. Sucks big time!

    Thanks for the replies ladies! I'm still waiting and wondering here. Nothing much going on yet, except, as I said before, fatigue and insomnia. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I'm hoping to keep nursing until 12 weeks or so, but we'll see how it goes. If it takes too much out of me, we might have to reconsider that plan.
    I'm really looking forward to the ultrasound I have coming up, to know what my dates are, and to see if this is really real!
    Congrats to you too Kristy!

    Yes, I'm bf my son (he's bf through a pregnancy before) and I did find that my breasts were not as tender as they were when I was not bf. I also got terrible waves of nausea when I let down - ughhhh

    Every one is different! Every pregnancy is different! Congratulations

    Hi! I'm still bf my 18 mo and am currently 9 weeks pregnant with #2. This time I don't have sore breasts like I did last time (phew) but I feel way more tired. Have insomnia every so often too. I haven't felt as much nausea as last time but I have felt ill and yuck generally since 6 weeks pregnant.

    I'm about 8 - 9 weeks pregnant & was bfing my 23 month old. I'm weaning now though, coz my nipples are really, really hurting. Other than that my symptoms are pretty much non existant! That from some one who had severe m/s through more than half of my first 2 pregnancies!
    I doubt bfing has made a difference, I think its babies sex here, coz it was similar last time.
