Okay. I've asked this question a few times before, now I guess I'm my own guinea pig!
So far my supply seems okay. 12.5 months pp and 4+weeks pregnant!
Hoping I can continue to nurse my LO throughout this pregnancy! Will let you know how it goes!
Anyone successfully nurse while pregnant? Or tandem nurse?

My cousin was able to nurse while pregnant and tandem nurse. She said he had a bit of a strike when she first got pregnant I guess because the taste of the milk changed but once the baby came he wanted to nurse again because supply went way up and he got the attention like the baby.

@chopsuey119: hehe... it was so hard!! that's why I announced here before on FB to my real life friends... I felt so bad lying to you guys for so long!!! hehe. I barely talk to my real life friends so not much lying happening there. Haha. Wait, that makes me think about my life... hmm. oh well.
@Alivoo01: haha yup! I was going to say the boards are going to blow up, but she does such a great job of blowing them up anyway, her posts will just change to pregnancy related ones!!!

@Thehistoryofus: Oh that's good to hear! LO isn't close to weaning herself so hopefully I'll be able to go at least another 6 months with her.
@regberadaisy: I think I might be the first to be pregnant + still nursing #1..!

I'm pretty sure my stepmom nursed while pregnant. She nursed both my younger siblings for 2+ years. I don't think she tandem nursed though. I've never asked her about nursing. I want to wait until I get pregnant.

My friend nursed one child up to about five/six months pregnant, I think. She got too awkward and uncomfortable and her little boy more or less decided to wean himself.
Congratulations, by the way! I know it seems like it'll be really hard having two so close together, but they'll get on so well! DH is 15 months younger than his sister who is in turn almost 14 months younger than their brother- MIL says they nearly reared each other, and they're still v close.

I am still nursing my almost 16-month-old, but only 1-3 times a day. A lot of times at night he doesn't want to, but in the morning ALWAYS. I am not sure if that's taste/supply issues or just him getting older and losing interest. Whatever happens, happens at this point. I'm happy to keep going indefinitely.

@mrs. wagon: you kept it a secret from your friends for 20 weeks?! Did you keep it a secret from people you saw in person for that long?
I was 20 weeks when I announced it on FB as well, and people were SHOCKED that I was already halfway there when I announced it. But anyone who saw me in person knew after 14 weeks (when we first heard the heartbeat).
I am positive you can do it @chopsuey119!! Here's hoping for the best

@miss-spunkin: haha... I actually told our closest friends the day after we found out! So not even a month in I did keep it a secret from everyone else until 20 weeks... I told my boss at 20 weeks, and slowly we've been telling others at work. Just now people are finding out in general at work and I'm 26 weeks...!

@mrs. wagon: wow that's crazy! I was way too big at 20 weeks, lol I couldn't really hide it past about 16 weeks. this was me at 20 weeks: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150339531859690&set=a.10150339530629690.362414.720689689&type=3&theater
lol no hiding it!! You must be tiny
blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts
@miss-spunkin: omg so cute!! HAH no I'm not tiny at all... quite the opposite! especially since this is my second and I'm carrying wide this time! I had to go shopping for clothes to conceal my bump and it was so depressing.... Wagon Sr. pointed out that I was, for the first time, shopping to look FAT. That's the only way I could conceal the bump since I have large breasts. So I basically dressed in muumuus for a month! I'm SO glad to bring out the maternity clothes starting last week!

@mrs. wagon: I was actually pretty similar with our first, most people couldn't tell until I was close to 30 weeks...but I really doubt that I will be so lucky with our second!!

@mrs. wagon: hahaha that's pretty funny. Well kudos to you to keeping it on the DL for so long. I couldn't have. It was so hard waiting til I heard a heartbeat!
