Do nipples hurt during early pregnancy?

Question

Around 6 weeks and theres this soreness, even clothes touching feels uncomfortable. Never had this much before periods either. Is this a normal early sign or just me?

Rachna Garg · Answer

It is a very common early sign, but if you notice any unusual discharge or severe sharp pain, please consult your doctor to be safe.

Mine hurt so badly in week 5 itself, even the water from the shower felt painful. Switched to non-wired padded maternity bras and it was a lifesaver.

I am also trying to conceive this month and my breasts feel so sore and heavy today. I hope this is a positive sign and not just my normal periods coming!

Yes dear, it is one of the very first signs of pregnancy. It will settle down in a few weeks, don't worry.

Haan na, starting me toh touch karne me bhi darr lagta tha. It is very common due to sudden hormonal changes, use seamless cotton bras.
