    Early pregnancy symptoms?
    Can anyone explain what kind of breast pain you feel as an early pregnancy symptom? I am pretty sure I am pregnant and I have started having some pain in my breasts the last couple of days but I can't tell if it muscle pain or not. I teach special ed so I do a lot of lifting during the day. If anyone can tell me whether the pain is in the whole breast, just the nipple area, or what and does it feel like muscle pain? Thanks in advance for your help:)

    I don't have any first-hand experience for you, but I did a little googling and here is what I found.

    Breast tenderness can be a sign of pregnancy and it is one of the first signs. But sometimes when a woman is getting ready to start her period her breasts also get sore. Does this usually happen to you before your period? Also look for signs of morning sickness and if you missed your period... Then if you get those symptoms I would advise taking a test early in the morning hen HCG levels are high so you can get an acurate test.

    Breast tenderness is very common in early pregnancy, as it is in the premenstrual cycle. Morning sickness does not affect everyone.

    Have you missed a period?

    Yes, I have been pregnant 5 times with 4 children. I am also a labor and delivery nurse. So I know what to look for also. With all 5 of my pregnancies I NEVER had morning sickness.

    Typically the first symptom of pregnancy is a missed period.

    Kitten, I am curious why you cannot carry full term. What have the docs told you?

    Well I wasn't saying anything to your reply lol I was saying thanks to chihuahamama. Umm Well I am sure I talked to you about me peeing blood. And that I had ITP. Well after my Spleen being taken out and me starting to pee blood. I became pregnant twice and the second time I was pregnant I went to the hospital and actually gave them the tissue that I had lost because it came out when I was grocery shopping and that really sucked. Anyway They ran tests and when I went to the doctors they said that I have about a 40% chance to carry a child full term because when I get pregnant there are antibodies that think the baby is a blood clot and they kill it. I just hope that their theory was false because I am really great with kids and I hope to have one of my own one day.

    Good morning,
    My last period began sept 28th and lasted for 4days. Since then my husband and I have tried to conceive. My next period is due till the end of October. However for almost two weeks now I have had sore breasts. My nipples are very observant sometimes. Normally I feel sore breasts a few days before my period not two to three weeks before. Could this be a sgin of pregnancy. How long should I wait before I take a test?
