Lumps in breast during pregnancy first trimester

Sore boobs during pregnancy — or before or during your period, for that matter — is very common and generally nothing to worry about. And if your breast pain goes away after your first trimester, awesome!

That’s also totally normal and will definitely come as a relief. Like morning sickness, some symptoms do go away once you’re farther along.

What is concerning is feeling a new or growing lump.

Benign (harmless) lumps can pop up during pregnancy, so try not to freak out, but definitely get to the doctor ASAP.

About 1 in every 1,000 pregnant women develop breast cancer. This can put the health of you and your baby at serious risk.

If you are experiencing breast pain and you don’t get a period when expected, speak to an OB-GYN to rule out pregnancy.

If you are pregnant, chat with your doctor about your breast pain and what to expect as your pregnancy progresses.

Typically, it goes away before the second trimester.

Remember, bring any suspicious lumps to the attention of your doctor as soon as you can.
