Has anyone else besides me heard of this?
In a subsequent preg, you will notice less breast changes than you had in your first pg, or it will take longer for them to enlarge, tingle, be sore,whatever you want to call it? I hope this is the case, because with my DD, i had tingly, sore nips, but I can't remember if it was after my BFP or before, it was 9 years ago!!! Anyone on pg #2 or more...please comment with your experiences!

With both of pregnancies I did not have major breast changes til long after I was pg...no super soreness, no tingles, maybe some slight nipple tenderness but other than that- nothing. Usually before my start my period I have tender breasts so I just figured that this was my body's way when pregnant.

I have never heard that this specifically happens but I never investigated either (as I said- figured it was just my norm)...Having said that though I will also say that each pregnancy is different and has the potential to have a) all of the same sxs as previous pgs, b) some of them or c) none of them- and a whole slew of different things going on.

Are you planning on waiting out the 3 days before you take a test? GL to you when you do!!!

I'm pretty sure AF is looming nearby, but thanks for your input to my question! So. I will wait it out, and if by some miracle AF is late, I will have to POAS!!! Good luck to you!

With this, my fifth pregnancy (and my fourth, but it was an early miscarriage), I had majorly painful breasts from about 12dpo. I mean, the type of sore where I would get out of bed in the morning and hold onto my breasts because gravity in the morning was too much to bare. also, right about the time of my

, I noticed my aereolas were larger and darker.
In my fourth pregnancy, the one that ended in early miscarriage, I woke up a week after my

, I was about 21dpo, (got my bfp on 14dpo), and my breasts didnt hurt at all. I was scared sh*tless. The doctors office called me and gave me the news I expected, my hcg #s had dropped in half. An hour later, the miscarriage started.
this pregnancy, which occurred two months later, i was OBSESSED over my breasts.. pushed on them almost all the time to make sure they still hurt. was SO scared to go through that again.
Funny thing tho, with my first three children, I dont remember my breasts hurting til alot further into my pregnancy, so i dont think there are any hard or fast rules regarding breast changes.
