Having gone through this twice, I can tell you that you might feel some mild stretching or nothing at all. Don't drive yourself crazy trying to feel something in the first few days. Just wait for your period date and do a kit test.

It's actually nature's way of helping your newborn baby find the breast easily because their eyesight is very blurry at birth. Mine got so dark, but it made breastfeeding my little one so much easier later on.

Oh, I totally remember that time! When I was 3 weeks along, I started feeling extremely tired and my breasts felt so sore. I thought it was just PMS, but it was actually my little one starting to grow. It is very common to feel early symptoms, so just wait a few days and take a home test.

I felt so sad when my favorite jeans stopped fitting me in the second trimester, it felt like my body was changing so fast. But then I bought maternity jeans with the soft over-the-belly band and they were a lifesaver. You should definitely get those!

I am still trying to conceive, but my sister told me that during the 6th month, you should avoid standing for long hours. She also said to wear very comfortable, flat footwear to maintain balance. Wishing you a very safe and happy journey ahead!
