EBFing lowering immune system? (for mom, not baby)

ever since DD has been born i have had 4 colds and 2 flues, i had the flu during her pregnancy, food poisoning, and strep throat.

even during bad years i NEVER got sick more than once or twice a year.

obviously DD's immune system is probably great, since she's only gotten two of the colds, and both times have gotten over them quite quickly.

now i HAVE been slightly stressed, but no more than is normal for me. i mean i used to work at disneyland for 4 years, and rarely fell ill. and i normally never get flu shots since they seemed to MAKE me sick.

do you think there is any connection between the EBFing and the illnesses? am i just that unlucky this year? maybe something else is happening? think i should seek medical advice?

i take my prenatals, and i try to eat right and moderately exercise. i am overweight tho. if that makes any difference.
