Im only like 5 weeks and already feeling sore and heavy there, thoda surprised it started so early. Is this normal this soon or does it usually come later? Curious when it began for u all.
It usually starts very early, sometimes even before you miss your period. For both my kids, breast soreness and fullness were my first clues around week 4 or 5. Don't worry, it is just the body preparing for milk production.
Mine started in week 6 and honestly, they haven't stopped growing since, haha! Now in my 3rd trimester, I've had to buy three different bra sizes already. It's tiring but kind of funny how our bodies change so fast.
For me, the soreness started around the 2nd month, and I was so confused. My mom lovingly explained that it's completely normal and made me wear comfortable, soft cotton sports bras. Being with family really helped ease all those small anxieties.
My breast changes started in the first trimester itself with a lot of sensitivity. By the time I had my C-section, they were fully ready. Even during postpartum recovery, those changes continued as milk came in, so just be gentle with yourself.
Oh, it can start super early, around 4-6 weeks of pregnancy! You might feel they are heavy or sensitive to touch. Just get some nice wireless maternity bras, they are a lifesaver!
I have heard from friends that breast tenderness can start as early as 4 to 6 weeks. It's one of those early signs we watch out for while trying. Hoping and praying we both get our good news very soon!
