I'm 16 weeks with baby 2 and have developed really sore boobs!
With DS I did have very sore boobs, but only for the first 8 weeks or so. Is it normal to start having them now?!

I've been through phases of sore boobs - all to do with hormone levels. Hopefully it won't be like this throughout your pg!

Thanks Picante. I hope not either, even showering is agony if a jet gets me !!

Mine don't seem too bad yet. I remember last time at about 7 weeks they felt like they were on fire.

Am starting to think that there is no "normal" for pregnancy, one can be completely different to a previous one!

Oh god yes, the shower jet on your nipps, then brushing past them with your hand by accident. I am wincing just remembering it!

It's v normal and comes and goes.

I got sore boobs right off the bat and they still hurt, 23 weeks in! Hope your soreness goes away.

I think it's normal for any stage of pregnancy and doesn't follow a set pattern. My pattern has been different this time to last.

Cool, thanks for the reassurance. I thought I'd escaped it I guess, how wrong I was!!
