If you don't want to wean I wouldn't. I just ended up making a deal with my husband to do it before halfway in pregnancy and my lo lost interest.

I am 10 weeks and just fully weaned my 14 month old. I agree with the above poster to just eat more. I haven't experienced what tour going through because I have lost my appetite.

I'm currently 19w3d and trying to wean my 12 month old.  If you're more hungry,  then eat, eat, eat lol. Try to avoid empty calories because they have no real value and don't keep you full.  You're technically eating for 3 now,  so try to make good food choices and be sure to keep up with your prenatal vitamins. Your milk supply will probably start to decrease because of the pregnancy,  which is why you're more hungry.  So if you want to keep your supply,  you have to eat.  

But I'll tell you what my ob told me... There are women who tandem feed so it is possible to continue Breastfeeding throughout the pregnancy,  but I was told that breastfeeding past 20 wks will put you at risk for preterm labor (which is why I'm trying my best to wean). I only breastfeed twice per day now and hopefully I'll be able to fully wean him soon.
