Ready to TTC #2 and a ? for BFing mom's of 2..

but I feel like time is not on my side- and I'd like to have 2 more total.

I am still EBFing, so I haven't goten AF yet. Has anyone here gotten pg while BFing their first? Am I correct in assuming that #1 had given up the middle of the night feedings and you had started getting your period again?

Now I'm contemplating supplementing with a bottle of stored BM at night(I have quite the stash available) to bring on my period....

I must be insane....

God help you woman

I am not BFing and I do not want to get pregnant again, but I do know that you do not have to get your AF again to get preggo.

Good luck

I do think it's possible to get PG while BFing without getting your period. A friend of mine got PG with #2 before she got her period after having #1, but she was not BFing. I just wonder how you would know you were PG. I did not get my period until I had weaned DD down to like 2 feedings a day.

I'll probably eat my words as baby#2 will likely be a horror show, but DD is a great baby. She had your typical fussiness in the beginning, but she's such an easygoing baby and I LOVED being pg. I'm also 34 and want 2 more before I'm 40, so I just feel like I need to get on the ball. My sister and I are 13 months apart and I just adored having a playmate so close in age.

I wish I was just a couple of years younger- then I woulfdn't feel such pressure.

Don't have any advice for you Amy, but wanted to wish you luck! I'm with you, I'd have another one today if it was financially possible, I had a great pregnancy and love being a mommy, and want my kids close in age, but it's not happening in the near future

Good luck!!

It is possible! My friend got preggo with she was EBF her first child, she didn't know she was preggo with #2 till she was 5 months... She just had a feeling something was up and took a test.

You can get pregnant while BF.. My mom thought you couldn't and that is how my sister happened

The 1st and 2nd child (for my mom) are 13 months apart

I EBF'ed for 8 months & got my period at 10 months.

Just because you aren't getting your period, doesn't necessarily mean you aren't ovulating.

Holy mother of PETE.
!! I was thinking that I really should be testing every few weeks (or at least before I go on a bender ) since we are doing nothing to prevent......
