Brief Answer:
Yes dear it is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

Yes some women do experience a lot of breast pain, I tenderness and heightened breast tissue sensitivity during pregnancy.

This is more so during the first trimester of pregnancy.

It is part of the normal pregnancy symptom spectrum owing to massive hormonal changes that your body is going through.

It would still make sense for your doctor to examine the breasts for any other issue the next time you have a visit scheduled.

Lots of fluids and daily vitamin E supplement may mitigate the pain, as would a warm compress and suitably fitted cotton bras.

All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further
