Even before I missed my period my breasts started feeling so heavy and sore, that's actually what made me test. Now im 7 weeks and the heaviness is still there. Just curious whats causing it, is it the hormones?
Totally normal, the breasts grow and feel heavy throughout pregnancy due to hormones and milk preparation. Get fitted for a good maternity bra, it really helps the discomfort. The soreness usually eases after the first trimester.
I felt this heaviness and tenderness as one of my very first symptoms even before testing. It surprised me at first. Once I understood it was my body getting ready, I felt reassured.
It is the hormones preparing your body for feeding, the milk glands develop and that makes them feel heavy and tender. Mine felt full and sore early on. A soft supportive bra made it so much more comfortable, totally normal.
