For those of you who have gotten pregnant while breastfeeding?
What signs and symptoms did you have? Were they similar to your first? Maybe you didnt even have any symptoms? Did you notice your boobs were sore?
I have been weaning my son. I now only BF him maybe 1/4 or less of his feedings. The first 3 months PP I was spotting every 2 weeks and since then I’ve spotted every 4 weeks. And when I do BF I get nauseus and a little crampy. Also since my PP periods are only “spotty” does that mean Im ovulating?
I was still breastfeeding when I got pregnant but my periods were regular. I never got sore boobs, or any sort of symptoms till I was 9 weeks. I missed my period and that was it! I should imagine if you are spotting you may be ovulating.
Good luck TTC!
Oh and I also read that if you do conceive while breastfeeding you can cause yourself to hyper ovulate resulting in twins. Which coincidently I am pregnant with! I don’t know how true the study was but I didn’t believe it till I saw my scan lol
