Unbearable breast pain

I’ve had this my entire pregnancy. And literally everyone I’ve spoken to acts like this is just normal and not a big deal. Well, it’s a huge deal. It was really bad in the first trimester. Then it chilled out. Now at 34 weeks I can barely function when it’s at its worse. Its so bad that nothing helps and I feel like I could pass out at any moment. So no, it’s not just typical breast pain from being pregnant. I’ve tried ice, heat, massaging them, every bra imaginable, Tylenol. So basically all I’m asking is if anyone at all anywhere has this issue? Everyone has made me feel like I’m weird or that it’s not as bad as I’m explaining. I’ve had a super tame pregnancy and my pain tolerance is really high. But this is something that’s going to drive me insane.

Re: Unbearable breast pain

  • From my understanding, soreness and tenderness is normal, but unbearable pain is not. Maybe it has something to do with your milk coming in, but I'd be wondering if you have an infection or possibly something more serious. Talk to your doctor; make an appointment just for this (try a separate appointment, not just bringing it up at a prenatal) to really put some focus on the severity of it. If your doctor isn't taking you seriously, get a second opinion. Ask for a referral if they can't give you an answer, ask what kinds of tests they can do to figure out what's wrong. Your gut is telling you something isn't right, so keep at it until you figure out what it is and don't let people dismiss your pain.

  • I'm sorry, that's awful.  What's your dr say about it? In my first trimester my armpits and breasts were really tender and sore alot. I changed my deodorant and it helped. 
  • I haven’t heard of this from any of my mom friends.  Google says possibly Raynaud’s syndrome??  I get something similar in my fingers and toes, but never thought it could happen to breast tissue/nipples!    I agree with @00kim00 - get a 2nd opinion!
