It can be different for each woman. But yes changes will happen wit h your breast. Sore tender breast is totally normal. It could be milk glands...but just to be safe ask you doctor at your next appointment. Dont feel embarassed, thats their job!

ok heavily...if you're so religious why no longer tell your mothers and fathers you've been raped?? they could help you!! you want help from them, no individual else. it would want to be more effective powerful so that you delivers this newborn and positioned it up for an adoption if you're pregnant, quite than forcing your body to miscarry and abort the toddler. Doing it your self or maybe going to a health facility may reason harm on your body that you do not pick!! you are able to have not heard of the morning after pill previous to now yet in case you've been frightened about getting pg then you definately might want to are starting to be one in case you had heard of it previously. ETA--I must have reported that what surpassed off change into no longer your fault, and going to a well being care specialist is between the most perfect belongings you may want to do. also if you're pregnant, dont hate the toddler!! this is not the toddler's fault both. there's a kin accessible this is needing a baby and unable to have one, and your newborn might want to be dearly loved by potential of them.

Hormonal changes during pregnancy cause increased blood flow and changes in the breast tissue, which may make your breasts feel swollen, sore, tingly, and unusually sensitive to touch. Some women describe the sensation as an exaggerated version of how their breasts feel before their period.
Breast tenderness is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. It usually starts around 4 to 6 weeks and lasts through the first trimester.
Starting at around 8 weeks, your breasts also begin to get bigger, and they'll continue to grow throughout your pregnancy. It's common to go up a cup size or two, especially if it's your first baby. Your breasts may feel itchy as the skin stretches, and you may even develop stretch marks on them.
You may be able to see veins under the skin of your breasts, and you may find that your nipples are getting bigger and darker. After the first few months, your areolas — the pigmented circles around your nipples — will also be bigger and darker.
You may not have noticed the little bumps on your areolas before. But now these bumps, which are a type of oil-producing gland called Montgomery's tubercles, may become much more pronounced. Your breasts go through these changes in preparation for nursing your baby.
Around your third month of pregnancy, your breasts start producing colostrum, the special milk your baby will get when he first starts nursing. During the last few months of pregnancy, you may begin to leak a small amount of this thick yellowish substance, although some women start to leak earlier and some never leak at all.
Can I do anything to reduce the soreness?
Your best bet is to find a few good, supportive bras. Take the time to get fitted by a knowledgeable salesperson in a large department store or maternity shop.
You may find that bras with underwires are less comfortable now. To prevent chafing, look for soft material with no seams near the nipple. Cotton bras will be more comfortable and breathable than synthetic.
For extra support during the day, try a maternity bra. (During your third trimester, you might want to invest in a nursing bra, since you'll need one anyway if you'll be breastfeeding.) For nighttime, try a pregnancy sleep bra — a soft, nonrestrictive cotton bra available at maternity stores.
It's especially important to wear a supportive bra that fits properly while you exercise, because your breasts are heavier. A bra designed for exercise will provide the additional support you need and minimize discomfort.
Consider buying your bras with a bit of room to grow, since you may go up a size or two (both in cup size and chest circumference) as your breasts grow and your belly expands. Choose the ones that fit when the clasp is on the tightest setting, so you'll have some room to let them out. This is definitely a good idea if you end up buying a nursing bra before you deliver.

Seems early for milk to create lumps, but it does happen. Your breats will get hard and lumpy. Make sure you talk to your doctor about it.
