My boobs are so sore

My boobs are getting so sore they feel full and tender to touch. I also feel like they are huge but my partner keeps insuring me they haven't changed in size or dimensions. Huh is all I say to that... I know they are huge.

It has been just over a week since the positive test results and I am keen to keep on top of all the pregnancy symptoms. The first to come was noticing how tired I was feeling. Of course now looking back during the week of my expected period I had told my naturopath that I was feeling so knackered.

Yesterday after walking a dog I came home and crashed on the couch. My partner laid patiently waiting for me to get up so we could go to a cafe and sit on a patio.. oops.

I am quite happy though to report my breast tenderness hoping that it is a good sign that I will be able to breastfeed despite my reduction in 2003. I still remember the doctor asking if I was planning on nursing again. At the time I answered no for two reasons one I did not think I would be having another child and two I thought he would deny me the much needed surgery. My back was killing me, I had marks left by my bra straps digging into my shoulders. I have no regrets I made my decision back then based on what was best for me. I only hope that decision does not take away from our child's benefits in being breastfed.
