to wean or not to wean

I spent most of yesterday crying because the nurse practitioner at my clinic was really cold regarding this pregnancy and the questions and concerns I have. I called to ask a few questions regarding breastfeeding while pregnant and about my half of a uterus. First, the receptionist was rude. She told me I couldn't talk to anyone until I had the pregnancy confirmed. So I went in and peed on their magical stick and SURPRISE, I'm pregnant. Yeah, I think I mentioned that. She went through her canned speech about how they want to see me at eight or nine weeks pretty much like she hadn't heard a word I said when I called initially. I then asked (again) to speak to a doctor about nursing while pregnant and about the septum in my uterus because the doctor that did my c-section told me that my future pregnancies would be high risk. Apparently the bimbo receptionist didn't care. Anyways, the nurse practitioner called me back, basically said 'go ahead and wean her' and goodbye. She didn't give a rip about my concerns. I don't think Renee is ready to be weaned. I don't think Renee is even CLOSE to being ready to be weaned. I don't think her mom is ready to wean her yet either. So I did some internet research. The internet says that it is OK to nurse while pregnant. I was sort of satisfied with that (La Leche was my source and I trust them for the most part) and figured I'd talk to my doctor in a few weeks when I go in for my first OB appointment. Then I laid awake all night last night worrying that I am now hurting both of my kids at the same time. I don't know what to do. This morning I called the hospital where I had Renee and asked to speak to one of their lactation consultants. She laughed and said 'you absolutely don't need to wean her.' Especially if she's growing and gaining weight and eating solids. I'm really irritated that my clinic just throws out opinions without checking with people who know more about it than they do. It seems OK to trust the La Leche League along with the lactation consultant whose job it is to work with breastfeeding mothers over some stupid nurse practitioner who really just wants to get me off the phone as soon as possible so she can go home, right?

I hope I don't regret this. I'm planning on GRADUALLY weaning Renee. My goal is to be done nursing her when she is one year. I will be about 16 weeks pregnant then. It's too bad I'm not telling anyone about this baby. The only people I can ask for advice are strangers.
