Do everyone dry up when pregnant?
I’m 5 weeks pregnant now and my youngest daughter is 15 months old. She eats solids of course and drinks water but I still breastfeed her a lot , especially at night but a lot during the day too. She loves it and I love it too and it makes me sad that my milk will probably dry up.
It happened when I was pregnant with her and still nursing my son who was almost 2,5 years old. But I was thinking it was mostly because I was nursing very rarely , not at all like I’m doing now. I still had milk the first months , then it dried up almost completely I think during a few months then I had some milk again the last months but it was clear, not white and not a lot.
I’ve been reading a lot of posts and comments and it seems like it almost always dries up. That’s something I honestly didn’t know before. I hope you don’t think I’m a horrible person but it almost makes me consider not keeping the baby. For other reasons too, this would be my 5th child and I’ve already had 3 C-sections.. and other reasons, complicated pregnancies before and not being sure if really want this.
Nursing means so much to my daughter , I feel like I’m failing her if I can’t do it anymore. And I also really love it.
Is there a chance I won’t have to quit? Happy to hear about your experiences and thoughts.
