I wonder if that's why I feel better with this pregnancy than I did with
my first, because I'm still nursing. Even though my son (who is 2) only
nurses 2-3 times per day, I am not as uncomfortable as I was the first
time, and the best part is that I don't have PIH (at least not yet, and
hopefully not ever). I had PIH the last time and started meds at 31
weeks, showed signs of my BP creeping up long before then. Now I'm 32
weeks with a perfectly normal blood pressure. I'm even heavier than the
last time so who knows! I don't think my diet is that different, maybe
so but it's not drastically so.
I also liked Flowers' book because it was realistic, and it did give
suggestions for weaning (and permission!) if a pregnant mom
wanted/needed to do that. To me, weaning my son just went against
everything I felt in my heart, but I know that's definitely not the case
with all moms!
I'd love to see more studies done on nursing while pregnant, there just
isn't much information out there!
