Are my symptoms normal for this early?

Butterfly807 · June 2013

I think I am only about 4 to 5 weeks along, but am not entirely sure. My breasts were sore and had grown larger 3 weeks ago, I've had cramping and I already have a small bump. From what I read and hear from others, this doesn't seem normal for my breasts to be so large and sore at 1 to 2 weeks and for me to have a bump already. Is it?

Sore breasts are totally normally, and it's not a bump, it's bloat from gas and constipation.

My periods are so abnormal, that I can't really remember my LMP. The last time I bled lasted about 2 days and was extremely light. That was about 5 weeks ago. I'm wondering if I may be further along than I think. I have my first appointment in 3 weeks, so I guess I'll find out then.

I think what you are feeling is pretty normal. The bump may be related to bloating or constipation because your uterus should still be tucked in your pelvis at this point. I'm 4w3d and my breasts are already sore and heavy as well though they haven't gotten any bigger from what I can tell. I've already ordered a sleep bra because they feel much better when they are "restrained" and I can't really wear an underwire bra to bed!

Also, are you sure that you are only 4-5 weeks? It sounds like you may be counting from when you got your positive test (because you said you were sore at 1-2 weeks) vs when you had your last period. I recommend looking at a due date calendar because you could be a full four weeks ahead of where you think you are!

I just found out I was pregnant last week after I was having hot flashes, extreme exhaustion and realized I hadn't had a period for quite some time. When my breasts were sore a few weeks ago, I just figured it was because I was supposed to start my period soon, so I didn't think anything of it.

By about week 5, my breasts had already grown over a cup size. I'm at week 8 now and they're still growing! I wouldn't gauge how far along you are by your breast growth, and the tummy is definitely just bloat!

Bliss+Berry:
Are you counting the weeks from your LMP?
Breast tenderness and growth can occur early on and are sometimes an early symptom. As far as the bump goes, it's bloat. Drink lots of water and watch your sodium intake.

This. Mine were really sore both times, it's why I took a test.
