Is anyone pregnant and still breastfeeding?

Hi there, I was just wondering if anyone else was still breastfeeding their first (or other!) child even after falling pregnant?
My first is 18 months, and still loves to feed at least twice a day. I was surprised because my mum said I went of breastfeeding when she fell pregnant with my brother.

I also wondered if anyone had been through this before, what it was like to breastfeed while having a huge tummy! I'm only 5 weeks now do I guess my first will either stop or I'll find out eventually ;)

I stopped pumping and continued to breastfeed my 8 month old. Later next month, I find out I'm pregnant. I was told if I continued to breastfeed my baby, I wouldn't get pregnant...FALSE statement. I stopped breastfeeding once I found out, had plenty of extra milk in the freezer. MY milk changed and was sour once I got pregnant. Currently my daughter is 15 months old and I'm pregnant with another girl, 29 weeks.

In labor and delivery rright now about to have my baby. I breastfed my son who is nnow 23 mmonths old. He nursed through the whole pregnancy. Some days he would and some he ddidn't ask for his nums. It didn't bother me nor did my stomach make it any different for us.

I'm still breastfeeding my first, who is 13 months, and I'm about 7 weeks. I'm planning on breastfeeding as long as he wants through the pregnancy. I'm hoping to nurse him at least to 24 months, but then I would be tandem nursing, so we shall see what happens.

I am 5 weeks pregnant and still nursing my 23 months old 2-3 times a day. I'll keep on until he's no longer interested :). A few days ago he stopped in the middle of nursing and pointed at my breast and said "all gone mommy?" I know he's still getting milk, but not sure how much.

I breastfed my son until I was 4 months pregnant. It became very painful and difficult for me, my milk supply dropped, and the taste of my milk changed. Eventually,  he decided he wasn't interested anymore and self-weaned when he was a year old.

But, everyone has a different experience nursing during pregnancy. I hope yours is positive!

My sister breastfed her son all through her second pregnancy and beyond.  Don't know how she managed with the pregnant stomach, she never commented that it was difficult.
