I know this may sound crazy but.... How exactly would you explain the feeling of sore breasts when you are in the early stages of pregnancy? Is it in the nipple region or the base of the breast?

What can I do next?

It isn't one part, the whole thing just swells and aches. Its that kind of feeling like you just don't want anyone or anything touching any part of them! You can use ice or frozen veggie bags to help ease it. Good luck!

For me, it hurt to even put a bra on, my ladies felt BRUISED almost... you know when you press your finger into a bruise and it's tender? That's how my boobs felt.... the whole thing, all over, both sides...

They also feel like that right before my period... lovely.

Mine are achy in the fleshy areas like they are swelling and the nipples are constantly hard and sore like I'm extremely cold. I'm currently 16 weeks along.

For me, with my first child, it was a soreness within the breast, like Tracy described... like menstrual tenderness, only much worse and more noticeable.

With this pregnancy, it is both the breast, and the nipple. Although, I don't think the breast tenderness was quite as bad this time, but the nipple soreness is definitely worse this time around... not sure if the fact that I breastfed my son has anything to do with the difference with these pregnancies...

But from my experience, it can be either, or both.

Every W. is different when it comes to pregnancy and each pregnancy is different...if you are having serious pains, then contact your OB/GYN...I wish I could see through the computer and help you - but I can't.

Your hormones are changing...your body is changing...I wish you luck in your pregnancy.

My entire boobs were very sore and achy, and the nipples felt like somebody was sticking pins in them. It was like PMS x 500.
