During the first few weeks of pregnancy, I had the regular sore feeling in my breasts like I get around the time of AF. It got worse, but then seemed to level out as my boobs got bigger. They seemed to have stop growing for a while there, but over the last two days I've been feeling more of a sharp pain in particular areas that comes and goes. Could this be another growth spurt or b/c the breasts are producing colostrum? Did your breasts grow throughout the entire 9 months or did they go through growth spurts?
Re: breast pain
Not sure what it could be, but I'm pretty positive that you don't start producing colostrum until much later in the pregnancy, right towards the very end, and some women don't produce any till after delivery. And when you do produce it, I've never heard of it causing any pain.
Mine barely grew, thank God. They just got slightly fuller and I think it was a gradual thing throughout the whole pregnancy.
LOL! It's crazy! I actually have cleavage now which I'm trying to hide at work since I work at a middle/high school. The pain was so sharp, too, that when I touched that spot it got worse!
I don't think the pain has anything to do with the production of colostrum. Your body goes through so many changes. Maybe it's just the stretching?
I had large breasts to begin with. The growth was minimal in my case. I felt more full but my cup size did not change while I was pregnant. I did however have to go up one band size. I never experienced any breast pain and did not leak until after I gave birth.
