Sharp, shooting pains through nipple at 6 weeks?

brownc0311 · April 2018

Hi everyone ! I've been doing some research and at 6 weeks I woke up with a sharp shooting pain through to my nipple. I saw almost everyone who was experiencing this was 15 weeks or more. And ibdont remember having them so early with my last pregnancy when I had my son, on later on.

Should I be concerned feeling it so early? Could this mean twins?

Thanks everyone ♥️

Hi knottie! This would have been great for our question thread!

If it were me, I wouldn't be concerned honestly. Pregnancy is different for each person, and different for each subsequent pregnancy in the same person. Since this is your second, the body knows what to do already and may start doing things a little quicker than with your first. ETA if it continues or gets worse, then mention it to your OB.

Also, increased or earlier symptoms don't mean twins. The only way to know if you're having twins is an ultrasound.

I'm not sure - but I'm 5.5 weeks and felt like my nipples had a burning/on fire like pain for 10 minutes this morning! They are just sensitive now, but my breasts aren't hurting yet at all. I'd be interested if others have had this experience.

i experienced the occasional nipple pain since early on and it felt pretty similar to when you letdown while BFing. I also started leaking in second tri. Like pp said it could just be that your body knows what it’s doing and things could happen sooner with second+ pregnancy. Each pregnancy is different even for the same person- it’s not an indicator of sex or number of babies you carry.
