What is the meaning of tender breast in pregnancy?

Question

I keep seeing this phrase tender breasts everywhere but what does it actually feel like? My breasts have been sore and sensitive since last week and im wondering if this is what they mean. Anyone else had this early on?

It means sore, sensitive breasts from pregnancy hormones. Very common early sign, nothing to worry.

For me this was actually the very first sign, my breasts felt sore and heavy even before I tested. I felt they were extra sensitive, even touching hurt. It's the hormones changing, totally normal in early pregnancy.

It's basically the breasts becoming sensitive and a bit sore as they prepare for feeding later. The soreness usually eases after the first trimester for many. A soft supportive bra and warm cloth made it bearable for me.

It just means they feel sore, full or sensitive, sometimes painful to touch. Happens because of hormone changes preparing the body. A comfortable, well fitting bra honestly helps a lot, that's what saved me both times.

Arre it just means breasts feel sore and heavy na, hormones ki wajah se hota hai. Mere saath bhi tha, ek soft bra leke pehno, thoda comfort milta hai. Normal hai bilkul.

Same, mine feel really tender these days and even sleeping on the side hurts a bit. Heard it's the hormones and the body getting ready. Anyone know how long it lasts? mine started week 5.
