Can I get pregnant if I have breast milk?

When pregnant women reach the late stage of pregnancy, the secretion of progesterone in their bodies will increase and their breasts will also secrete milk. The main function of breast milk is to provide the necessary nutrition source for newborn babies, and it is also the main food for newborn babies. The amount of milk is mainly related to the physical fitness of pregnant women. Mothers also have certain physiological needs during breastfeeding, but can you get pregnant if you have sex during breastfeeding?

It doesn’t mean that you can’t get pregnant if you don’t have your period during breastfeeding, or even if you have sex during breastfeeding. The breastfeeding period is a time to help the newborn baby quickly replenish nutrition. If you get pregnant during breastfeeding, it will definitely affect the secretion of milk. The secretion of milk begins when the baby is delivered, and its nutrition depends on the mother's nutrition.

During the breastfeeding period, mothers often complain that their milk is becoming less and less. You should know that it takes some time for the milk secreted during breastfeeding to accumulate to a certain amount. Once a breastfeeding mother becomes pregnant, she will still have milk, but the milk will gradually disappear.

As the pregnancy progresses, the levels of progesterone and estrogen in the mother's body increase, the prolactin level gradually decreases, and the milk supply becomes less and less. Continuing to breastfeed will have a greater impact on the unborn baby in the womb. If the fetus in the womb does not get enough nutrition, it may cause fetal malnutrition. If the mother continues to breastfeed, her body will definitely not be able to bear it and it may also cause miscarriage.

Although the mother will secrete breast milk during pregnancy, the secretion of the mother's milk and the baby's stomach capacity are not coordinated, and the nutrition cannot keep up. It is also detrimental to the health of pregnant mothers and fetuses in the womb. Therefore, pregnancy during breastfeeding is something that all mothers should pay attention to.

Even if you are pregnant and breastfeeding, you will still have milk. It is still recommended that mothers take more breastfeeding measures when breastfeeding their babies, and do not let the baby go hungry. The nutrition needed by the baby in the early days after birth plays a critical role in his subsequent development and growth, so it is necessary to coordinate well.
