breast tenderness

I am 6 weeks and my breasts are VERY tender and have been for almost 2 weeks. This doesn't last the entire pregnancy does it? And if so what are some things to help subside the pain? I can't even hardly hug my fiancé very tight due to the pain.

I'm 8 weeks so I think its just the first trimester my husband likes to touch my boobs a lot but they hurt and I feel bad when I tell him not to touch my boobs what helps keep the pain down is I go in the shower and run warm water on my boobs and wear a sports bra ora maternity bra I also massage my boobs some times that helps but it can be different for many women

Welcome to pregnancy and motherhood.  They can hurt until you stop breastfeeding. You will go through different stages of sensitivity but it may not go away.
