Discomfort: Below Left Breast
| By: | KacyPayne |

| First noticed: | week 32 |
| Seriousness: | Quite bad |
| Discomfort: | I have this numb pain under my left breast. It feels like my skin is stretched to the max. It aches and throbs constantly... laying, sitting, standing. It doesn't matter... there is no position that is good! |
| Treatment or advice: | My husband put an ice pack on it and that actually worked until I got my body heat back! |

| Seriousness: | Annoying |
| Discomfort: | I feel like my heart beat is really strong, it doesn't feel like it is racing or beating really slow, it just seems like a harder beat. I know that sounds stranger. It happens more when I am stressed or when I take a walk. |

This happens to me too and I am really glad to hear that it is happening to alot of other people. I guess it makes sense since your blood volume doubles, your heart probably has to work harder... Kristen -

I had this w/ my first pregnancy, my doctor said it is common with pregnant women... usually nothing to worry about. i'd tell your doctor about it. it helped if i laid down and relaxed for a bit. jayne -

bperry, this is totally normal! I don't know any women who didn't have any degree of breast tenderness and some women have it far worse than others. I had very itchy, swollen, throbbing and painful breasts through my entire first pregnancy starting before I was far enough along to take my pregnancy test. I also went up almost 2 full breast sizes! I didn't have a hot pack, and wasn't told about that until later. I do know that wearing a snug bra and keeping them fully supported helps a lot. I know it sounds painful having a bra fitting them tightly, but it's much better than having them bounce at all. I even slept in my bra and only took it off to change/shower. (And boy did they hurt whenever I took the bra off!) I don't know how much the snug bra had to do with it, but my breasts went back pretty much to my normal size and I barely have any droopage at all. I hope this helps you too. I am currently 30 weeks into my 2nd pregnancy and barely have any breast tenderness at all. I can actually let my husband rub them this time! =P

| Discomfort: | Numbness under left breast (under bra strap ) travels down rib cage about 2 inches. |
| Treatment or advice: | Was told by doctor not to worry, it should be nothing or worst case lack of Vitamin B12. Got bloods taken few weeks ago. |
