Due to the sudden changes in hormones in the body, pregnant women are prone to abnormal conditions in the early stages of pregnancy. Among them, breast pain is experienced by many women in the early stages of pregnancy. Moreover, breast pain is an abnormal condition that lasts for a long time in pregnant women.

After 12 weeks, a small amount of clear milk will be secreted.
