I know I have heard of lots of girl who continued to nurse while pregnant, but has anyone continued to pump while at work during early pregnancy?

I pumped a few times when I was away most of the day and missed bedtime in early pregnancy. It was not fun or comfortable, but I would be so full. I think I only did it once or twice in the first few weeks.
I nursed until LO1 was 16 months and I was about 22 weeks.

@maddyz: Thanks for your response! I think I will stop pumping after today. I won't have a problem with feeling full because my supply has dropped so much anyways. I will just start my girl on cows milk next week. So sad.

yeah. I had a lot of feelings about that. I got pregnant sooner then I had planned (oops) and weened before I wanted to. But my body was SO ready to not be pregnant and nursing and LO1 took cows milk just fine. When I weened there was no milk left at all. It was such an easy processes really. LO1 didn't even ask and was so happy to have milk in a bottle.
good luck!

@maddyz: Thank you! your situation sounds a whole lot like mine! My LO doesn't ever ask to nurse so I'm hoping that when I do wean, it won't be too hard. I would really like to continue nursing her morning and night for a while longer, though.

@2littlepumpkins: Ha! You didn't miss anything. I'm like 5 minutes pregnant. I'll be a May mama and there's no May boards. I need support, though! Yikes!
