How to infer whether a breastfeeding woman is pregnant again

Patient's question:

I just had a baby last year, and it's a girl. Because my husband always wanted a boy, we later decided to have another one. It would be convenient to register the children's household registration at the same time when the time comes, and then prepare for another child. However, because my daughter is currently in breastfeeding, I don't want to use formula feeding. But I'm worried that if I get pregnant again at the right time, it might affect my daughter. Now I always feel like I might be pregnant again. How can a breastfeeding mother know if she has become pregnant again?

Doctor's answer:

Because some women may also experience menstruation during breastfeeding, if pregnancy occurs during breastfeeding, the following situations may occur: changes in appetite, aversion to appearance, nausea, breast changes, nipple color darkening, breast swelling, mild touch causing pain, frequent urination, spiritual fatigue, lack of energy, and a desire to close one's eyes. However, the final result should still be based on laboratory tests, and it is recommended to avoid using symptoms to infer whether pregnancy has occurred.
