Please and thanks. OK, my daughter's awesome, she's a super-growing, healthy, strong and beautiful 18month old. She's also incredibly creative, challenging and VERY high-needs in all areas of life.

While Breastfeeding Could I Be Pregnant??

I just had a baby 10 weeks ago and have been breastfeeding. I feel a little different and don't know if I might be pregnant again. I have taken a couple of pregnancy tests and they have all come back negative. However, when I was pregnant the first time it was not until the 3rd pregnancy test that I showed positive. Could the pregnancy test be wrong again? Can I get pregnant while breastfeeding and no period?

Curious About Breastfeeding While Possibly Pregnant

Hi, I'm a SAHM of two girls, ages 3 and 8 months. I am still nursing our 8 month old 4-5 times a day and have noticed that my milk supply has decreased, while my breasts look fuller than ever, which is weird. I also have been experiencing a lot of discharge these past two days. I have yet to get my period since my daughter's birth so I'm wondering if I'm about to get it OR if I'm preggers. Any insight would be helpful. I should also note that I'm pretty darn tired...
