Anyone not have sore breasts in early pregnancy

I will admit this is originates from symptom spotting but a session of googling brought me to mumsnet so hoping for someone more knowing.

Talking to a work colleague about pregnancy today and she stated that sore breasts are the one symptom that everyone is guaranteed to get, everything else; morning sickness, tiredness, peeing etc only affects some women.

Seems odd to me but have never been pregnant so have no clue, is it true?

Will now go and explore
Thanks

I had it with DD1 really badly, mildly with DD2 and not at all with DD3

schneebly · 09/03/2009 17:02

I never did

mama2leah · 09/03/2009 17:03

yup try breastfeedin..ouch!

roomforthree · 09/03/2009 17:10

Four pregnancies, never had sore breasts. But then I've never had morning sickness either, so I might be an oddity.

LittleMissBliss · 09/03/2009 17:10

I did with my first pregnancy really sore and tender and they became bigger quite quickly. This pregnancy nada, no pain at all! Breasts are a little bigger after returning to normal after finishing breastfeeding 3 months ago. But thats all. I would say tiredness is the most common early pregnancy syptom.

NakedInnocence · 09/03/2009 17:19

I go explore the site and get all these replies in 10 minutes, thank you . Colleague was so adamant that I thought it must be some sort of medical fact!

Must confess that if I'm lucky enough to get pregnant I'm dreading the getting bigger part. I'm a G cup already, have visions of toppling over

Hi I didnt actually get sore boobs but I did get sore nipples from hell, with cold winds making them really hurt. This preg my boobs or nipples havent hurt yet (but I guess there is still time LOL).

pginthecloset · 09/03/2009 17:40

I am 6 weeks with pg number 3 and not a hint of soreness - I keep pressing my boobs to check!

jkb · 09/03/2009 17:43

never had sore breats atal with first.. very sore with second.. my first was a boy.. second a girl.. wonder if maybe the girl hormes make you more prone to it & maybe the boy ones dont?? thats my theory anyway

Claire236 · 09/03/2009 17:50

Never had sore breasts. I've had it stated as if it's medical fact that everyone gets them.

neolara · 09/03/2009 17:56

I only get sore boobs after the first trimester, and even then, they are more a little bit uncomfortable instead of sore.

PeppermintPatty · 09/03/2009 18:20

I didn't with DD. They didn't get that much bigger either, just one cup size IIRC.

My main symptoms were tiredness, sickness and going off loads of food/drink.

ChocEclair · 09/03/2009 19:40

I'm 37+3 and I haven't had sore boobs! I would say if anything my nipples got a bit bigger and darker, but not sore! I am only a B cup and have been waiting patiently for my boobs to suddenly grow ... but it's not looking good!

.... perhaps when my milk comes in hey? (wishful thinking!)

My main symptom before the morning sickness kicked in was tiredness.

Madigan · 09/03/2009 19:46

I did not have sore boobs until much later in pregnancy ......

JazzHands · 09/03/2009 19:46

Work colleagues spout a lot of crap IME.

Good examples include "all brides lose weight before the wedding, whether they try to or not" and "you will definitely completely go off curry and alcohol while you're pg everyone does".

Needless to say this well-covered bride went on to scoff curries and enjoy the occasional glass of wine when pg, all the time marvelling at how unsore her breasts were

FlirtyThirty · 10/03/2009 08:57

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have stillnot had sore boobs - your colleague talks nonsense. Every woman is different. x

Choc eclair - what a relief to hear someone else say that. I'm 35+2 and am still wearing my pre-pg b-cup bras.

That said, I did have sore boobs at the start and tingling throughout so sorry for hijaking thread and I'll crawl back into my hole.....

wilbur · 10/03/2009 10:01

Not sore really, a bit tender occasionally due to their impressive inflation, I reckon , but never painful during pregnancy. And then I started breasfeeding....

BikeRunSki · 10/03/2009 10:16

I didn't.

Ambi · 10/03/2009 10:20

nope, I didnt either. No other symptoms except for tiredness.

Poledra · 10/03/2009 10:23

Nope, I didn't. I was always dog-tired though, and bloody starving . In fact, that was what made my secretary guess I was pg the last time - I was constantly eating.

I didn't either. Mood swings, bad skin, bad back, tiredness .. but boobs okay! All pregnancies are different.

Biglips · 12/03/2009 21:28

in first pg - no and 2nd pg - yes

needsomesleepplease · 12/03/2009 22:12

Yip i have had it in both my pregnancies - in fact this is what has prompted me to do the tests both times.
