At the same time, it is extremely difficult to guess about the conception that has occurred, so many women for a long time do not even suspect that they are again in an "interesting" position. In this article, we will tell you which signs allow you to identify pregnancy in breastfeeding without monthly, and what complications can arise in this situation.
Signs of pregnancy during lactation
Pregnancy during lactation allows you to suspect the following symptoms:
- persistent drowsiness and irritability;
- attacks of nausea and vomiting, mainly occurring in the morning time of day;
- apathy and lack of interest in common affairs;
- a sharp decrease in the amount of breast milk;
- the child's refusal to breast-feed because of the changed taste, composition, quality and consistency of milk.
In the presence of such symptoms when lactating a woman is recommended to conduct a pregnancy test and on receipt of a positive result, immediately consult a gynecologist.
Possible complications of pregnancy during lactation
According to most doctors, the advent of a new pregnancy during lactation for a woman is extremely undesirable. This is due to the fact that the young mother's body has not yet fully recovered from the birth process and, moreover, he needs a huge amount of vitamins and minerals necessary for the production of breast milk.
A new pregnancy that occurs with lactation may be accompanied by complications such as:
- miscarriage;
- premature delivery;
- Varicose veins;
- discrepancy of the postpartum scar if the delivery was performed by caesarean section;
- the development of various inflammatory and infectious diseases.
It is for these reasons that young mothers should not forget about the need for contraception, even during lactation.
