Early Pregnancy Symptoms - Breast Tenderness

It is very common for women to report that their breasts enlarge and become extremely tender very early on in pregnancy.

Nipples also become very sensitive and enlarged and will darken in colour and breast veins become more noticeable; all in preparation for breastfeeding!

Little bumps known as Montgomery's Tubercles, will appear on the areola (the area surrounding the nipple); these are responsible for lubricating the breasts during breastfeeding.
