About this symptom
Breasts (Stabbing Pain)
Women’s breasts undergo many changes during pregnancy starting even in the first few weeks. Increased blood flow to the breasts (to prepare the breasts for breastfeeding) triggered by the body’s increased production of estrogen and progesterone can cause sensations in the breasts ranging from mild tingling to acute stabbing pains.
