Pregnancy 8 months pp no period?

I haven't taken a test but I've been feeling super nauseous the past 4 days. I'm 8 months pp and I'm exclusively breastfeeding. I don't have a period yet. Has anyone not had a period after pregnancy and became pregnant again?

Yes it is possible for you to get pregnant before having a period

You ovulate before a period so possible that you ovulated without having a period first.

Also, it is NOT true that breastfeeding is a form of contraception. It’s the biggest myth.

Take a pregnancy test and if you’re not on contraception, definitely track ovulation or look into using contraception if you’re not wanting a pregnancy.

You don't need a period to ovulate, you need to ovulate to have a period. So yes OP you could be pregnant without ever having a period. I suggest you begin tracking your cycle.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
