A
Early breast changes include enlargement, tingling, and tenderness, which are the result of hormonal changes. As pregnancy progresses, the breasts continue to enlarge and prepare for lactation. Later, nodular tissue of the breast becomes more obvious upon palpation as the lactiferous ducts proliferate in preparation for lactation. Colostrum may be secreted as early as the second trimester.
