While pregnancy signs vary from person to person, in a nursing mother they typically appear around weeks 4-6 of pregnancy. The most common early signs include:
- Sudden decrease in milk: One of the earliest and most common indicators; the baby may become fussy while nursing or refuse to nurse because the milk's taste has changed.
- Breast tenderness and fullness: A sensation similar to before menstruation, but may feel different than normal during nursing.
- Fatigue and nausea: Especially noticeable in the mornings.
- Darkening of areolas (the dark area around the nipple)
Important note: Being a nursing mother doesn't completely prevent ovulation. You can become pregnant before your first menstrual period returns. If you suspect pregnancy, taking a pregnancy test is the most reliable method.
