Experiences and stressful situations can also cause the onset of pain in the early stages, significantly increasing the pain threshold.

How is chest pain associated with conception?

It happens that long before the delay occurs and the test confirms a positive result, the woman feels uncharacteristic soreness of the mammary glands. If pregnancy is not planned, then this symptom is confused with a premenstrual symptom. Differently, that the pain has a bursting character, therefore it is atypical for the premenstrual period.

Please note! To the bursting pain, a change in the density of the mammary gland is added, which can be seen on palpation and hypersensitive nipples.

Women with children are already unmistakably determining the fact of pregnancy long before the recognition of a delay in menstruation or a test. Despite this, it should be understood that this symptom is still subjective and it is possible to confirm the pregnancy accurately only after an ultrasound examination.

On what term of pregnancy can the pain of mammary glands appear?

Unfortunately, experts can not provide an accurate answer. Since the appearance of pain depends on several factors:

1. Age of the pregnant.
2. Presence of vascular ailments.
3. Endocrine diseases.
4. Indicators of the hormonal background.

The average time of occurrence of mammary glands is five to six weeks of pregnancy. Moreover, in more complete women, chest pain may not manifest at all, or two weeks later than the above-mentioned period.

Thus, the pain gradually ceases or completely disappears. After unpleasant sensations in the chest comes the period of toxicosis.

But to relax the pregnant woman is not necessary, because often chest pain returns for three to four weeks before childbirth. This is explained by the fact that the body begins to prepare for the period of lactation and produces colostrum.

How to reduce soreness?

There are some simple tips that help reduce pain in the female breast:

• pick up special underwear, when the breasts begin to increase. It should be made from natural tissues and not squeeze the mammary glands, but act as a supporting element. Thus, the load on supporting breast ligament will decrease. This underwear is perfect for sleeping, when the pain can increase;
• do not forget about the rules of hygiene. Do not exclude the possibility of discharge from the nipple, so you should wash your breasts daily and wipe with a soft cloth. For the washing procedure, you can use a decoction of chamomile;
• perform a wellness exercise so that increased lymphatic drainage occurs;
• on the twelfth week of the term begin to take a contrast shower. Due to the alternation of water at different temperatures, the vascular walls are strengthened, and muscle tone is improved.

Breast tenderness should not frighten future mothers, since this symptom is quite normal during pregnancy. Thus, nature prepares the breast for the future process of feeding. Therefore, one should not worry, since nervous overexertion can only intensify painful sensations. It is best to perform the above recommendations during this period and wait until the pain stops on its own. It is worth remembering that any uncharacteristic symptoms should be the reason for an unscheduled visit to a gynecologist.
