nursing during pregnancy question
I'm nursing while pg right now. I think http://www.askdrsears.com had
the best explination on this. My OB is fine with it as is our Family Dr. The OB said the only concern is nutritional and that I may end up nursing 2. I will say it's not comfortable. My nipples really hurt durning nursing sometimes. Of course just water hitting them from the shower head hurts too. I just don't think my son is quite ready to quit and even if he did I think he would start again when the next one comes along. LB Patty Reali wrote: This is purely out of curiosity at the moment, but I've been wondering about this for awhile, so thought I'd ask. A number of you have mentioned nursing through pregnancy and then tandem nursing. I get the tandem part, but my question is this - if nipple stimulation is supposed to stimulate uterine contraction, how can nursing while you're pregnant be safe? Or is it maybe not safe in women with high rates of miscarriage or some other pregnancy-related problems? Like I said, just curious, but if anyone has info on this, I'd be interested to hear it.

nursing during pregnancy question
In a normal pregnancy nipple stimulation will not cause uterine contracitons
UNTIL you are ready to give birth. This is why it is now recognized that sex is safe in a normal pregnancy. The situation is analogous.
