First time mom

Uy, totally normal yan, mama! A lot of us experience soreness or tenderness after pumping, especially pag nagsisimula pa lang kayo, ang nipples nyo ay nag-aadapt pa lang sa suction, kaya nag-hurt talaga. Try mo muna ang proper latch at pump positioning, at make sure ang flange size mo ay tama para hindi masyadong tight; one of my mum friends swears na gumaan agad ang pain niya pagkatapos i-adjust nito. If the pain is really intense or may signs ng cracking, bleeding, or infection, better check with your OB or lactation consultant na para ma-rule out ang mastitis or other concerns.
