What causes tender breasts in early pregnancy?

Question

Just got my positive test, maybe 5 weeks. My chest feels so sore and heavy, even touching hurts. Is this a normal early sign or should i worry? curious what causes it actually.

Beta, this is very common in early pregnancy. You can apply a little warm coconut oil gently at night, and avoid wearing tight clothes.

Haan na, hormones are changing so this is bound to happen. Mera bhi bohot heavy and tender feel hota tha shuruat mein, it gets better soon.

It's just the hormonal changes preparing for feeding later. Just wear a comfortable seamless cotton sports bra, no need to buy expensive fancy maternity ones.

It's pure hormones working to prepare your body. Just buy a size larger soft bra and stop touching it to check, it gets better by the second trimester.

Anita Sen · Answer

Ho na, mere saath bhi same hota tha first trimester mein. It's just the body preparing, so wear loose cotton clothes and stay comfortable.
