signs of preg. or nursing hormones?

[Anonymous]

I am nursing DD (our first), but we've been actually trying to have another baby (our reasons are not up for debate). I haven't gotten my period yet so I can't tell if I "missed" it or not. I get hotflashes, but I thought that was more related to nursing as opposed to being pregnant. My stomach has felt queasy/crampy lately, but I am not sure if that means my period could be on the way or if it is morning sickness or some thing completely unrelated.

So my question for all those nursing moms who are pregnant with the next baby - how did you know you were pregnant?

I guess I could just take a pregnancy test, but I thought I would ask first.

I know there are only a small percentage of women who get pregnant while nursing - hoping to be one of the lucky ones.

Regardless of what anyone here tells you, the only way you are going to know for sure is to take the test. So just do it!
