I have been thinking about this alot, if you are pregnant but still breastfeeding did you get morning sickness, I just wondered whether the hormones present would help prevent morning sickness or if it just does not matter.
Sorry if this sounds silly :)
hi salad;
I was still feeding DD when i got pregnant this time round, and believe me the morning sickness this time round was exactly like that with DD.. unfortunately!
sorry;

lol beans that sucks. I was really hoping that it would be that simple :)
Just thought I would add for the record I am not pregnant, just wondering thats all.
I had planned to breastfeed for as long as possible but thought it might be extra incentive LOL
I don't think it makes much difference. I was bfing when pg with DS2 and I found that the sickness was more of the day than with DS1, but stopped at 10 weeks instead of 12 weeks. I don't think that was related to bfing though.
One thing though - you can always bf lying down if you are unwell with morning sickness!
i did consider that when we found out about this one too, maybe i wont get sick because of feeding but to no avail...
I suppose you'll never know for sure unless you give it a go ;)
I've been prg twice whilst b'feeding and twice without b'feeding - I have had morning sickness with each prg, none more severe than the others so it hasn't made a difference for me.
I'm pregnant and still breastfeeding DS. I've had morning sickness since about 8 weeks, mostly all day and night nausea. Because DS has his breastfeed in the morning, it's when I feel the worst so I don't think it helps much but I don't think it causes my morning sickness iykwim. I try to have some water or eat breakfast before he wakes up to get something into my stomach before I feed him.
Made absolutely no difference for me at all, in fact I had the worst m/s I've had out of all 3 with Elijah.
I still had MS with DD2 - actually sometimes bfing would make me feel nauseas!
My morning sickness was brief and manageable this time around, when I was pg with DD i was vomiting constantly into the 2nd trimester.
My m/s didn't start this time round until ds weaned himself, but that was at about 8 weeks pregnant so i think it was a coincidence :)
...i tend to disagree with most of the gals.....when dd#2 was 10 mths i fell pg. I was still b/f (and did thru the 1st tri)...and my m/s was terrible - worst pregnancy for m/s for me. I put it all down to hormones rippling thu my body.....:

My morning sickness with #2 was different to when pg with #1, it was more severe, but didn't last as long. But it's hard to compare.. for one thing I had a toddler to run around after so couldn't spend all day on the couch feeling sorry for myself, so it was more tiring, which could have made it worse. Plus #2 was a girl, #1 was a boy, so that could have caused different m/s too.
I actually found breastfeeding eased my morning sickness tho. If I was feeling particularly off I'd just feed DS and it would make me feel better.
I think it's different for everyone. Just like some experience really sensitive nipples during pregnancy and find feeding painful, but I never had that at all.
