Boob question:)

[Carla90x]

Hi just wondering my boobs have been hurting all week and feel bigger x my areolas are a bit bigger too.. they also feel 'lumpy' if I was to be pregnant, is it possible to actually feel your milk ducts?

The lumps on your areola which you can feel are actually your sebaceous glands which are more prominent in pregnancy and help keep your nipples moisturized. Only way to know is to take a pregnancy test, if you’re asking whether you might be pregnant

I didnt mean the glands my actual boob feels lumpy and I wasnt asking if I'm pregnant I'm just wondering if it's too early to show on a test x

[nsha in reply to Carla90x]

Ohh sorry it sounded like you were referring to your areola. It’s possible for breast changes before a positive pregnancy test x

Generally it takes quite a few weeks to notice an obvious change in boobs with pregnancy. Tbh mine were always sore and swollen just before my period, and felt the same in the early stages of pregnancy too so would never have known the difference! I know it’s easier said than done but try not to symptom spot as you will drive yourself bonkers-best to take a test and know for sure, good luck!👌

It usually takes a few weeks to see a difference in your boobs in the early stages of pregnancy. Like the lady said above try and not symptom spot chick!! fingers crossed for you x

I had IVF and about a week before my test day I noticed I had huge areolas and knew then it had worked. I did a test the next day and it was positive. Obviously doesn’t mean this is the case for everyone but definitely was a sign for me
