The soreness started almost from week 5 and its still there, bohot sensitive feels. Just wondering if this stays the whole nine months or eases off later. Pls share how it was for u.
Haha, honestly, those first few weeks felt like I was carrying two heavy bowling balls that hurt even if a breeze touched them! It usually gets much better after the first trimester, so hang in there till then!
Oh god, mine lasted throughout the first trimester and I kept googling if something was wrong because it hurt so much. It is totally normal due to hormonal changes, but if it suddenly stops, please don't panic like I did, it's just your body adapting!
It usually lasts till the end of the first trimester. Instead of buying expensive fancy maternity bras right now, just get a couple of comfortable, affordable sports bras in a size larger, as your body is going to change a lot and we need to save for the actual delivery costs.
My mother-in-law told me to apply a little warm coconut oil, which felt very soothing. But my doctor said it is just the pregnancy hormones working, and it usually settles down on its own by the fourth month.
While it is a very common early symptom, any severe pain or unusual lumps should never be ignored. Please mention it to your gynac in your next checkup just to be absolutely safe and get peace of mind.
During my consultation at Fortis, my gynac explained that breast tenderness peaks around 8 to 12 weeks as the milk ducts prepare. The hospital nursing staff actually recommended wearing soft, wire-free maternity bras, which helped a lot.
