Newly pregnant, just 5 weeks, and my breasts have started feeling tender and a bit painful when i touch them. Its a new thing for me so im a little unsure. Is this pain a normal part of pregnancy for everyone?
Yes, for me it was one of the first things I felt, sore and heavy. I felt like even hugging was uncomfortable at one point. It eased a lot after the early weeks though.
Very normal, both my pregnancies started with sore tender breasts. A good supportive cotton bra is your best friend, even at night if needed. The worst of it usually settles after first trimester.
Mine ache quite a bit right now, especially the sides. Glad to read others felt the same, I kept wondering if it was just me. Soft bralettes are helping me a little.
Yes they do, it's the body preparing early on. The tenderness comes and goes. Looking back it was all part of getting ready for feeding, so gentle support and patience help.
