I'm almost 27 weeks and my breasts hurt sooooooo bad! Miserable. They've grown a couple cup sizes, and they're heavy! And the under part of them is chafed. And the space between them just randomly hurts. And my nipples hurt, with random shooting pains going through them. And they're warm to the touch. Getting rid of the underwire hasn't worked, a sports bra doesn't work - nothing works!!!!! Ugh! Sorry for the rant, but they're making me miserable! Can anyone relate? Any tips or tricks for relief?

For the chafing, I recommend Body Glide. I use it when I'm running on my thighs and it's magic. I've put it on my boobs too so I don't chafe in my bra. You might want to bring the pain up to your doctor, and also get fitted for a bra. Maybe a well-fitting bra will help alleviate your pain.

My boobs were really sore for most of my pregnancy last time. I had to wear a sleep bra to bed from like five weeks on and outgrew my bras by 8 weeks. Yours still sounds worse but I feel you.
Weirdly this time they are just mildly sore (unless my toddler leans an elbow onto them, which she keeps doing). And they have only grown a tiny bit at 11 weeks. Weird.

@mrscobee: I would let your doctor know. If you have any areas of redness or flu-like symptoms it could be mastitis. I had it at 37 weeks. Midwife said I was only the 2nd case of mastitis she had ever seen during pregnancy.

@macintosh: yes, I may mention it to my doc. Luckily I have no other symptoms! I would just prefer the size d's back - those were big enough!

This makes me remember how painful breast pain was during ( I think just the beginning) pregnancy! I'm still bf-ing my son & worry If I'll be able to continue through a pregnancy...
