Hello and welcome to HCM,
You can continue breast feeding even when you are pregnant.
You can take fenu greek for better milk production.
The only thing about which you need to be more careful is good nutrition and supplements (iron and folic acid) for your current pregnancy.
Regular antenatal visits and regular ultrasound should be done to assess the progression of current pregnancy.
Thanks and take care
