Mostly sensitive to touch. Pregnancy should not cause breast pain.
It’s not uncommon to have painful breasts before menstrual cycles. If however you miss your menstrual cycle and still have Painful breasts, check for pregnancy.
Breast pain does not happen in all pregnancies. If it does, it is usually a generalized heaviness and sensitivity which the patient describes as pain.
Well, some patients have no breast pain in pregnancy and some people have a great deal of pain. Typically, if you do have breast pain in pregnancy, it will involve both breasts. The densest breast tissue is on the outer and upper part of both breasts so they tend to hurt the most. Also, some women get pain around their nipples. Again, there is not a “normal” amount of pain.
I hope that this helps.

Breast pain doesn't indicate pregnancy but may be one of the signs associated with pregnancy due to the change in hormones, which may also occur with monthly menstrual cycles. May be tingling or aching type of pain.
