Second pregnancy - no sore boobs

[Millie654]

Hi all,

I have a 10 month old and am currently 4w3d with baby no.2. However I remember with my first pregnancy I had sore boobs from 3.5w onwards through the first trimester, but this time there's nothing and I just don't 'feel' pregnant!

I'm hoping it is just because I have been breastfeeding my 10 month old until recently (my supply dropped as soon as I become pregnant so I'm trying to wean) so maybe my boobs are already 'prepared' for milk and that's why there's no pain? Is that how it works haha? Just wondering if anyone has had any similar experiences (good or bad, I want to be mentally prepared if this is likely to be a loss)?

I had the same, but a bigger age gap (17 months). I think you just get different symptoms with different pregnancies, and it's not necessarily something to worry about.

Congratulations!

I was bf'ing when I conceived DD2 and didn't have any breast changes at all. When normally I have insane soreness and swelling in early pg. I had no idea I was pregnant and was shocked at the bfp! I think bf'ing does affect those symptoms.

With my first pregnancy (miscarriage at 13 weeks) I had sore boobs, but with my subsequent two (got a nearly 2 year old and now 36 weeks pregnant) I didn’t. Looked into it and apparently with a first pregnancy your boobs go through what’s basically a final stage of puberty and that’s why they hurt! But it only happens once.

Anecdotally none of my friends have had sore boobs on a second pregnancy either!

This is very reassuring - thanks everyone !

I had the same, no sore boobs until much later on in this pregnancy, first was so sore from before I found out!

Same! I have an 11 month old and am 11 weeks pregnant. My nipples feel a bit tingly lol but my boobs haven’t been sore.

Didn’t have sore boobs until about 7 weeks! I wouldn’t worry 🤍
