I'm 10 wks pregnant and saw my endo today and told the asst I was nursing. "WHAT? You're pregnant AND nursing? Didn't they tell you to STOP?!?" I was very calm and firm, "No, because I don't need to stop and my doc is aware." She must have realized I was slightly p*ssed so she lost her horrified look and said, "Well I'll have to make a note for the doctor" and I could see it over her shoulder on her laptop--all caps, all bold "PREGNANT BUT STILL NURSING" in the middle of the page. Sheesh. Then I have to hear it from the endo, "Wow, is this right? You're still nursing while pregnant? Wow" Lovely, right?<br><br>
So rant aside, I fibbed--I haven't seen an OB yet but am scheduled to next week. Not my old OB, who told me only babies in third world countries needed to breastfeed past 1 year <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/dizzy.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Dizzy">: but a new one. I'm seriously wondering if I even want to tell her. I mean, I'm trying to wean my 28 m/o, but I'm not going to do it overnight, y/k? Would you tell or wait? I don't hve a history of miscarriage or premature labor so I can't even think why it'd matter. Does it matter?
