Breast/Nipple Tenderness

[Annie2008]

Okay, I know that this has been brought up before, but I'm bringing it back up LOL.  I was having afternoon dull headaches for 6 1/2 days and then yesterday evening I was bending over to pet my dog and noticed my breasts really hurt - I looked at them in the mirror and noticed my nipples were erect (not cold at the time) and they had some little bumps on them that I've never noticed before.  My fiance happened to walk in the door and past the bathroom to find me checking out my breasts and he did a double take in the mirror and stated that they look huge - to which I took the wrong way and practicly started crying.  Anyhoo - I have never felt this before - never had breast soreness/nipple tenderness before my period (before I get my periods my body is kinda uneventful - no major signs).  I'm not gonna even ask if I could be pregnant because I have been doing some research (me being a nurse and all) and found that normally if you never have had this pain before your period you have a good chance of being pregnant.  According to my newly done calendar I am 2 days away from expecting period - so will test soon - but my question is this:  Is there anything I can do maybe ease the pain a little bit and what the hell is the bumps on my nipples (couldn't find anything out about this)??  

Any advice would be wonderful!  Thanks

OMG, I know exactly how you feel. I'm really tiny, (I'm 4' 11") and right now I have double D's - its ridiculous, I think I look like a freak, and they hurt sooo bad. I'd have to say that this would be my biggest pregnancy complaint at this point. It wakes me up some times...and there's nothing you can really do....

Okay thanks for the advice, I'll try that tonight.  I hope it's implantation bleeding.  Now I want to test LOL.  I'm gonna go ahead and do so in the morning on the 12th PRAY FOR ME

One more thing... to help eleviate the pain, make sure you wear a very supportive, almost tight bra. Also, you can use a heat pad (on low) or warm washclothes.

Your breasts can feel tingly, ticklish, sore, heavy, painful, etc.

Sounds like implantation bleeding to me. And you're not a pest! This is what the forum is for, hon!

Hey now I have a separate question for you guys - I just peed and when I wiped I noticed that my cm is a little thick but when I looked at it I took a double take because it looked like inside the cm was a scant about of pink-tinged blood - VERY LITTLE, and it wasn't separate from the cm, kinda looked like it was inside of it if you guys understand what I mean.  I was having very mild cramps, but that's it and I'm not freaking out but was just wondering if you guys think the mild cramps and that scant about of blood could be implantation bleeding?  I've never noticed it before with my first, but then again it seems my body is doing totally different things this time anyways - just wondering - don't mean to be a pest.

Those bumps are glands that secrete a sort of oil over your nipples and aerolas to keep them soft. The veins are also more prominent because during pregnancy, you pump 50% more blood than a non-pregnant woman.

Def. sound preggo to me! CAN'T WAIT TILL YOU TEST!
