Is it safe to breastfeed while pregnant?

I am exclusively breastfeeding my 9 month old son and I just found out I am pregnant again. Should I start weaning him or is it safe to continue nursing him? I am getting mixed answers and I'm confused. Will the baby I'm pregnant with get cheated of nutrients if my son is still breastfeeding?

i breastfed my daughter thought my second pregnancy even when in labour and as soon as my secound daughter was born they had a feed together third pergancy i miscarried but was feeding both this time im 38 weeks 6 days and still feeding both my daughters so it is ok just eat a good diet and rest you will miss out on nutrients before your children  good luck

Well one of them will be. When your breastfeed just like pregnancy your body needs more nutrients to keep both of you going. Trying to do all three may be very difficult. I heard somewhere as well that babies don't usually like to breastfeed if the mother is expecting because it makes the milk taste weird as well. Nature's way of choosing I guess.
