I'm having this exact same pain it's awful I think it's just boobs growing and filling, but it's like an achey stabbing pain

I think it sounds like a normal pregnancy niggle but if it lasts overnight get it checked.

I had that. At the same time I had an itchy back. Same spot as sore boob, but on back obviously. Just one spot. Drove me nuts!

Both went not long after though, haven't came back (yet)

god yes, my left boob did this for about 12 hours. it was so bad that i would yelp.

the internet told me the technical term is "lightning boob"!

I had this and had a google and in general it seemed consensus was its your breasts getting ready for making milk....to me it felt like a hot poker!<br /> I havent had it for a couple of weeks now so it did clear up!
