My breasts have been feeling quite tender and my nipples are particularly painful lately. My period is also late. Is breast nipple pain a common sign of pregnancy? I'm wondering if these symptoms mean something.
My grandmother told me breast pain is a traditional sign of conceiving. But I always feel it's best to confirm with a pregnancy test and a visit to the doctor to be 100% sure.
Yes, breast tenderness is very normal early on. You can wear a comfortable cotton bra to help with the pain, but if you notice any unusual discharge or severe pain, please consult your doctor.
Breast pain is quite common due to hormonal changes. However, do check with your doctor for a proper blood test, especially if you have thyroid issues like I did, as hormones need to be monitored.
