Pregnancy: sore breasts

If the slightest rubbing on your breasts makes you jump, be patient—sore breasts are a common and temporary pregnancy symptom.


First of all, you should know that if your breasts are sore, they won't be the whole pregnancy. This symptom often disappears by the end of the first trimester. Thank goodness for estrogen and progesterone, which are the hormones proliferating in your body, especially during the first few weeks.


The reason for the swelling is simply to prepare your breasts for breastfeeding.

I believe I’m pregnant and around 6 weeks thanks to bloating, fatigue, and sore breasts, (plus my period is late by a couple weeks now, and that’s not normal) however I’ve yet to see a positive test. Has anyone else ever had a test not show positive until this far into the 1st trimester?

So I'm 13 weeks pregnant and don't feel pregnant. I had all the symptoms, sore breasts, nausea, tiredness. However, mentally I don't feel pregnant. Idk if I'll start feeling pregnant when I start feeling movement?? 😕 idk, just me?

Hi! My wife is 4 weeks pregnant and has recently had nausea, bloating, and sore breasts. Her breasts randomly stopped hurting today. Should we be concerned? Is it normal for symptoms to come and go?

I am 5 weeks 2 days pregnant and I haven’t really had any symptoms besides sore breasts and heartburn. This morning when I woke up I found that I had pink blood on the toilet paper but it wasn’t much and now it’s disappearing…. I’m just worried about a miscarriage… any advice… I am not cramping at all

I have taken several pregnancy tests and all have been positive. I went ahead and scheduled an appointment with my OBGYN and told them I was pregnant. I have some symptoms including sore breasts, cramping, and missed period. Should I see a general practitioner first to confirm the pregnancy? My OBGYN appointment isn’t until August 25.

Not sure how this process happens but I'm already cramping extremely bad my breasts are sore and I have nausea, could it be I'm having symptoms of a period or possibly pregnant and didn't know it? I haven't thrown up yet but my husband and I have been trying if not every day, then every other day.
