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

Hey Annie,

I haven't heard about the veins on the stomach.  I mean I really notice that when I start getting really big.  But the road map on the chest is just crazy!!  I too like everyone else, am convinced that you are pregnant.  Those are all the classic signs.  I'm going to dig up the name of the bumps though.  I have a pregnancy book right next to me.  I'll get back with you in a few.

Aww honey while that is a terrible thing to have gone throug and I am not going to pretend to know what it feels like. I have never had a problem getting pregnant or with pregnancies just deliveries. What I have learned and I'm sure some one will agree when you go into a pregnancy clear minded you body relaxes as well as what your carrying. I had 2 stressful pregnancies just because of the time in my life but my third was a cake walk I actually enjoyed it. At some point to some degree Annie if you are pregnant you have to treat this pregnancy as it's own. So you can focus on you and baby and your body. As soon as you take your test consult your doctor so they maybe can advise you on some steps you can take maybe just rest honey I wish you the best of luck and your welcome. We are all put on this eart for something and I guess my job is to populate the world with beautiful children. It is my cross to bear so be it :)

Ya I know I am.  See we actually have been trying even though we probably should not have.  I recently had a natural m/c about 4 weeks now ago and we decided to give it a go when I thought I was ovulating and I guess I was right on.  At least I hope so.  Now I'm even more worried about the fact that I actually might be pg because what happens if because we didn't wait I lose this one too.

I dont wanna get all worked up here, but yeah.  Sorry for bothering you guys and thanks so much Mama4times for talking with me....I learned something new today.

Sounds like my husband I didn't think we were we weren't trying and I had only been off my patch for a month not even. I took the test to shut him up. When I tell you the urine hadn't even finished hitting the test when the sign came up!!!! Take the test with him, you know in your heart of hearts your just nervous don't fret!!!

[Annie2008]

Oh wow.  I didn't think it be that early - I'm still kinda grossed out by that, never knew that before  - LOL thanks.  I hope this means I am, I'm just scared to take a test and be let down I guess.  My AF supposed to be here on the 12th - will test that morning or the 13th because fiance can't wait.  

He's convinced, I'm too worried about being let down to be convinced yet..........eek

HaHaHa- that is so cute honey you are so pregnant!!!!!! When your milk comes in those are like little ducts the milk will come through. I squeeze in the shower and my husband yells at me to stop but I can't help it, it will happen all the way til the end and then it will turn into colustrum. Sorry for your pain :)
