My first born is 6.5mths and I suspect I might be pregnant again! (unplanned). any parent can share your experience? was it easy to manage a toddler (by then #1 will be 16 mths or so) and a new born? I am ep-ing. do I need to stop if I am pregnant? feel guilty that this is happening too fast and #1 may not have enough attention from me yet and I am diverting to another :(

You can continue to breastfeed when pregnant. However, do consult your gynae about it. There are cases whereby premature births caused by cervix dilating too early, or signs of premature labour during pregnancy, or unusual bleeding caused by the contractions of the uterus from breastfeeding. Some mothers may experience morning sickness and can be aggravated by nursing.
