I guess this would be suited for a few different forums but I"ll post it here because my main worry is extended breastfeeding. I've never posted on this board before. I want my son to be able to nurse as long as he wants to, and I enjoy our relationship very much. He is 1 year today and we are talking about another baby in the near future. I have such mixed feelings but I think there is some reason all I can do is think about being pregnant again. BUt at the same time I am so in love with Joe I can't possibly think of spending my time with someone else. I obviously know I will love another baby but I don't know how I could take away anything from my son. I grew up with a sister 19 months younger than me and I was so grateful to be so close in age for many reasons. I really would like my kids to be able to play as equals and grow up close together but I am having such a tough time deciding for sure to get pregnant. Do you just all of the sudden one day know for sure it's the right time? I don't know that I'll ever be 100% sure untill it actually happens.
I guess my biggest concern is with bfing. I don't want to make my son stop nursing and I'm scared of my milk drying up and hating nursing
Lately I almost cry myslef to sleep because it's just making me so sad!! It's like I'm mourning the loss of something I haven't even lost yet if that makes sense. Just thinking of not being able to nurse breaks my heart.
Maybe I've heard to many peopple tell me it's not good to nurse while your pregnant and that it's miserable, etc etc etc. Anyways, I guess I'm just looking for some positive thoughts, or the truth, or something to make me feel better!!!!
