Yes. Just make sure to eat healthily. I BF my first child until she was 2, my milk dried up at 21 weeks however.

I tried to do that recently (I'm currently 4.5 months pregnant), but I found that my nipples became too sore about 2 months into the pregnancy and it was just too painful for me to nurse anymore. Fortunately my daughter (who was nursing) was already 2 years old and so neither of us took the transition too hard.
I know a number of people who have done it though! Good luck!

You can as long as you don't have high risk pregnancies. It will really deplete your calcium though, so be careful and make sure to get enough vitamins and minerals.
I can't, because I already have hormone issues while pregnant and I already have an extremely difficult time gaining weight while pregnant.

I've done it 3 times now. My babies didn't seem to mind, but they were also at or around the year mark when I became pregnant. I know people who's milk stops, or changes taste. You'll never know until you try it, everyone is different.

talk to your doctor, for most people it is a yes but you will need to pay a lot of attention to your nutrition especially iron, calcium and folate levels. Your body will prioritize the foetus and your breastfeeding child first, you will recieve nutrients last so if you start to feel really unwell that may be why. And you will need A LOT of water.

Yes, make sure your doctor is aware of it because they may want to put you on specific prenatal vitamins. Your milk my decrease and you may think you are "drying up" early in the pregnancy but it will be temporary and once your body gets settled you'll have no problem bfing through the whole pregnancy if you want. Make sure your eating well, not overeating, but just eating healthy, and stay hydrated.

Yep. Women do it all the time. You can also continue nursing your oldest once the new baby arrives.
