Pregnant 5 years after extended breastfeeding breast pain

dc1 was bf for a month dc2 was bottle fed from birth dc3 bf till 15 months.
Now I am pregnant again 12 weeks and i am having some swelling and pain in my left breast a bit like when it's full except its not the other ones fine just the usual acheyness.
I haven't experienced this with any of my other pregnancies and wondered if it's normal after extended bfing. I did try a bit of hand expressing in a warm bath but nothing came out. I also had mastitis once mainly on the left side so i don't know if that's part of the issue though i can't see how.
Anyone else had this at all?

Absolutely no idea sorry (helpful I know...) but I would call your midwife and ask her. And maybe try putting a cabbage leaf on it? (Have been told its very soothing!)
