How long does breast pain last in early pregnancy?

Question

Im around 5 weeks and the soreness is honestly killing me, cant even sleep on my side. Just want to know till when this lasts. Does it go away soon or stays the whole first trimester?

Anusha Pawar · Answer

I am in my 8th week now and even a light touch hurts so much! Does it really get better later on? I'm literally living in sports bras these days.

Haan, starting mein toh bahut pain hota hai, touch karne me bhi dar lagta hai. For me, it settled down after the 3rd month. Don't worry, yeh phase bhi nikal jayega, na.

Don't rush to buy expensive maternity bras right away in the first month because your size will change again later. Just buy a couple of cheap, stretchable non-wired bras for now to manage the pain practically.

Lavina Raman · Answer

It usually stays for the first three months. Don't waste money buying expensive creams for this, just invest in a couple of good, supportive cotton sports bras from a local market.

For most women, breast tenderness peaks in the first trimester around 6 to 8 weeks as hormones surge. It usually gets much better by the second trimester, but everyone's body is different.

This is very normal, beta, your body is preparing to feed the baby later. You can apply a little warm sesame oil gently, but avoid any rough massage. Wear comfortable cotton clothing.

My pregnancy tracker showed that breast pain is one of the earliest symptoms due to progesterone. It started fading for me around week 12. Try wearing a soft, wire-free maternity bra, it really helps!
