Question : I am currently 5 weeks pregnant. My breasts have been on an off sore, however, in the last 2 days my left breast has been more tender and sore than the right. Is this normal?

Brief Answer:
Yes. It is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Congratulations on pregnancy.

It is common to have sore breasts either only on one side or both sides during early pregnancy.

Therefore I suggest you don't worry about it.

Continue medicines prescribed by your doctor and get an ultrasound scan done to confirm pregnancy.

Let me know if you have any more queries.

Regards
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
