I am trying to find out some info from anyone with advice out there. I have slight cramping and very swollen breasts. I never have had swelling due to my period, and am wondering if this is going to be a new trend for my body? I have nursed 2 children both 2 years, and am usually a size A, however these past few days have gone up to a full B. I dont remember having this with either pregnancy, but am curious if I may be pregnant now because this is so out of the norm! Im dying to know because we would really love to have another child!
Thanks!
The only way to know if you are pregnant or not is to have a test done and see what is says.
The symptoms you had in the first two pregnancies may totally differ from your other pregnancies, so the fact you didn’t experience painful breasts before doesn’t mean you can’t experience it in the next pregnancy.
If it turns out you are not pregnant, you may still make an appointment at the doc’s to see if something’s going on. Many women develop fibrocystic changes in their late 20’s and 30’s as well as when entering perimenopause or if using estrogen replacement therapy in menopause.
Fybrosydstic changes don’t mean cancer. If you have experienced fibrocystic changes you are most likely to feel lumps in your breasts-it usually show up in both of them. Once again, they are not cancer!
But the only way to know for sure is by seeing a doctor.
