Glad to hear I'm not alone, we just found out I'm pregnant & my only child is about to be 17, was nervous starting all over again! & I don't remember my breast being so tender the first time around & so early on!

38 and first born is 20, this is my second.  It is a totally different feeling from the great young bodies we had in our teens. And how you forget the unfun pregnancy symptoms until you have them again.  But they do all pass of course then you're dealing with something new. Trying a warm towel when they are really sore might help some.

It may seem scary but you will be fine..I had 14 yr old and 12 yr old boys when I had my daughter in 2013, I was 36! She will be 2 in June and I have another one coming early May, a boy :) Just cherish every moment cause it does go by quickly!! As for the breast tenderness, get a good supporting bra that's fits well and wear all day, I found that when I took it off and nothing was supporting them it was more painful. It shouldn't last that long...hopefully. Good luck!!

I have an 18 year old and starting over as well. Lots of breast tenderness with this one. I switched bras a few months ago and it had made a world of difference. Try bras without any wires. If you are already getting larger in the breasts go for a larger size bra. I had to go up in number and letter to find one that didn't bind too tightly.

Pregnancy symptoms varies with each woman and each pregnancy. I can't imagine having a baby at 15 and it be a wonderfull calm experience. Now that your older try to relax and enjoy the pregnancy. I'm 38 and have 5 children, expecting another baby this month.
