Breastfeeding while pregnant

Hey all! I'm still nursing my 15 month old about 4-5 times a day, I am about 5 weeks pregnant and I feel extremely drained/fatigued! I never felt this tired with my first. Anyone have any advice or know of a good way to boost energy safely? I'm drinking lots of water and trying to eat a good balanced diet and going strong on the protein. But still want to sleep all day. Any advice??

Sounds like you're doing well! This won't be advice you've never heard before, but sleep when you can! Some energy will come back once you're oldest weans, but the fatigue just comes with the subsequent-pregnancy package! ;) My 11 month old is still nursing, too. It's a lot of work to make a baby AND feed one with your body! Listen to your body and rest when you feel the need to. :)
