Seriously tender breasts!

[J-LO]

I am just wondering if it is normal to have really really tender breasts 7 weeks into the pregnancy. They are so sore that I now have to wear maternity bras 24hrs a day. And when going to and from the shower, I have to carry them! My husband says that when I roll over through the night, I whimper and cry a little when I lay on them. And can I just say....they are HUGE! Are they going to get bigger? They couldnt possibly!

sounds like me with both my pegnancys. Started at about 4-5 weeks in and kept going till after the 1st trimester. I hope it eases off for you soon

And what about morning sickness? I havent had anything yet. Actually feeling pretty good. Really tired, some bouts of nausia- randomly and inconsistantly- but no real sickness or bad nausia. Maybe my symptoms will only consist of these horribly sore breasts!

Any yeah- I've had the tenderness since about 4 weeks- but its got a lot worse!

Sounds all rather normal to me - I didn't really have a lot of m/s this time at that stage, it kicked in a bit later on and is still hanging around. But oh gods, the boobs! So sore, where no bra hurts because they're so heavy, but wearing a bra drives me barmy cause the nipples are so crazily sensitive.

The good news is that they have settled down a bit now - hope yours do to!

I had this too and it eased off for me in the 2nd trimester. It was my first main PG symptom.

I hope it eases off for you too soon and the best advice would be to buy bigger and more comfy bras ASAP!

Very normal! I had this with my first pregnancy (it was my first sign of being pg!) in the first trimester, then it eased - but my boobs did get huge and stayed that way until I stopped breastfeeding! I can't remember doing anything about it though... This time around they haven't been sore. Morning sickness both times started at 6 weeks for me. Good luck with your pregnancy
