What hormone causes breast tenderness in early pregnancy?
Im around 6 weeks and my breasts feel so sore, even brushing against them hurts na. I keep reading its hormones but which one exactly? Just curious to understand whats happening in my body.
My doctor said it is mainly the rising progesterone and estrogen, along with hcg, that make the breasts tender early on. The body is prepping for milk basically. She said the soreness usually eases after the first trimester.
I felt the tenderness before I even knew, and learning it was the pregnancy hormones doing their work was kind of amazing. The body is incredible honestly. It did ease up by my second trimester.
