Pregnancy is not a condition that requires the cessation of breastfeeding. No entanto, research shows that while breastfeeding during pregnancy does not cause an increased risk of miscarriage, there may be some issues with maternal anemia and lower infant birth weight. It seems that good nutrition and support are important.1 2
If becoming pregnant while nursing a child, the taste of leite materno may change and cause self-weaning. In some instances, a reduction in milk supply may occur during the second trimester.3
Some may feel uterine contractions while breastfeeding. If there is a history of miscarriage or preterm labor and you are breastfeeding an older child, talk to a healthcare provider regarding any potential concerns or signs and symptoms there may be.
