Well we have recently discovered that we are expecting #2 We are so super excited!
I'm not 100% sure of exactly how far along I am but it's between 5.5-6 weeks. Still very early...
With DD1 I was very fortunate in that the only pregnancy symptom I had was sore boobs. And boy were they sore.... and big Almost immediately they started growing and very were very sore and tender for the first few months. It was nice reassurance that I was still preggers and all was going well.
This time my boobs aren't sore at all. My nipples are more senstive perhaps and I get the odd little twinge in my boobs but nothing at all like last time. Has anyone else experienced this?
Also, I bf for 14 months and I don't think my milk ever completely dried up, even now if I squeeze my nipple I can get a tiny amount of what looks like colostrum out (sorry if that's tmi). I wonder if this has anything to do with it? For example my boobs are still sort of in bf mode and don't need to undergo such drastic changes?
I know it's still early and symptoms might suddenly hit like a ton of bricks soon but the lack of symptoms at the moment makes it hard for me to even believe that I am pregnant!! Please tell me you have had a similar experience
My boobs were sooooo sore with my first pg, but with my second I hardly had any problems with them at all. Some days with my first I couldn't even stand to wear a bra they were that sore. It may need a little more time for you to feel anything, but I wouldn't be too worried about it if your boobs don't get sore.
It's early days - they could be sore tomorrow!
I'm nearly 16 weeks and haven't had sore boobs at all. They haven't gotten any bigger either! Try not to worry about it
My boobs did not change at all when pregnant with #2. I BF DD1 up until she selfweaned at 8 months and 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I was able to squeeze out a little milk throughout my 2nd pregnancy. I was so happy not to get sore boobs.
My boobs have acted differently this pregnancy My nipples were super sensitive and quite sore again but the achiness in my boobs hasn't been anywhere near as frequent as it was in my first pregnancy. I've had similar symptoms as I had with DD but some symptoms have been stronger, some weaker and some started sooner and others later. No two pregnancies are the same
I've managed to hand express a bit of colostrum too already. I was so damn curious I just had to try and was shocked that it's there already!
Hi don't worry, ( easier said than done, when it is a obvious but slightly flawed gauge of how things are going) I have been pregnant 11 times... 10 of those times I had sore boobs of varying deegrees..last time no boob soreness at all, a few faint twinges here and there, no MS to speak of..I did'nt even know until i was around 8weeks!!!!a good thing I have regular periods, beacuses thats the only reason I had a pregnancy test..:0 whoops!!! good luck you might have to wait ofr MS or a potty tummy!!!
No sore boobs here at all with pregnancy #2 - and they were a killer with my first PG. And there's no doubting this little one is alive an healthy, I'm getting belted in the ribs as we speak! There's an identical thread around somewhere from about 4 months back and there were many replies saying much the same thing so I'd say that it's safe to assume... you can relax and enjoy your not-aching boobies!!
Hi Fi Looks like we may be in the same Belly Buddy group when you figure out your EDD .....
With DS I had really sore boobs from maybe 7-8weeks on they also started growing. So much so i switched from wire to no wire and up a cup size almost straight away.
I am still bfing DS atm and haven't had the sore boobs yet (although not yet 7weeks) however I have had really sensitive nipples at times. So i guess like each pregnancy other symptoms (MS, cravings etc) change this might be one of those things that depends on the bub as well . I'm also still questioning at times if i'm pregnant cuz i dont have any other symptoms either except a positive test and no AF
Congrats on your pregnancy I had the same thing as you, breasts weren't sore at all! I was worried too, even mentioned it to my ob when I saw him at our visit and he said it is nothing to worry about. I guess the breasts have already created what they needed to last time. Mine just gradually grew over a few months. Very occasionally they would hurt but not very much, but that was when I was further along. It's nothing like last time!
First pregnancy they were tender for the first few weeks and then no issue. This pregnancy though they are killing me, but I'm still breastfeeding DS so that could be contributing to it.
