Breast milk can start to dry up around the fourth month of pregnancy due to the abundance of pregnancy hormones. You will still make a little but it's nearly impossible to keep a full supply. You will start to make colostrum towards the end of your pregnancy. If you have a baby that is still nursing throughout your pregnancy they may wean due to the salty tats of the colostrum or the fact that you have very little milk left.

Can you have milk in the breast and be pregnant?

This is possible, but not common. Most women that breastfeed their baby do not ovulate and hence does not become pregnant. When trying to wean the baby off breast milk, this reduces the hormone production and production of milk slows down. At a stage during this, ovulating starts up again, and you can get pregnant. Some few women do ovulate when breastfeeding. It is not a "fail proof" method of contraception. Only fairly safe :-)
